Kisschasy - Too B or Not Too B
22-04-08
In the year 2004 a young band from the Mornington Peninsula released two influential EP's on indie label Below Par Records. These two EP's each sold a few thousand copies and enjoyed some Triple J and community radio play, but still remained mainly under the radar. The band did back to back tours in a 12 seater van all over the country and shortly after the EP's were deleted as the band went on to release their debut album.
Four years later and that young band, Kisschasy, has now sold in excess of 90,000 records, have two gold certified albums, a slew of award nominations, have toured internationally and play to packed houses everywhere they play. However the old school fans were still requesting to hear these old songs from the EP's at shows every time the band tour, so it seemed fitting to compile both of these EP's and release them on one disc. What came next was the fact that the B-Sides from the singles from their debut album, United Paper People, have also been deleted - so it was decided that these B-Sides would also be part of this collection titled 'Too B Or Not Too B'.
Still not feeling complete the band decided to add three previously unreleased tracks to the compilation to give the fans a package that every Kisschasy fan would want to own. These tracks are "Jack The Alien", "Wake. Turn. Sleep. Repeat" and "Electric In The Chair". On top of all of this there is also a bonus DVD which features all of Kisschasy's music videos to date. It all fits into a nice package to be released the week prior to the band's upcoming tour, which will see Kisschasy playing a collection of new and old songs for the very first time.
"When we released "Darkside/Stay Awake" and "Cara Sposa" in 2004, we didn't have that many fans but the fans that we did have were really passionate about our music and were awesome. Now obviously things have changed and we have a whole bunch of new fans who are as equally passionate and awesome, but the new fans haven't had a chance to hear these old EP's because they have been deleted for so long. We thought it would be a really good idea to re-release them so that people can see where we came from, I think a lot of people think that the first thing we ever released was 'United Paper People'," says frontman Darren Cordeux.
Adds lead guitarist Sean Thomas, "The other thing about releasing this collection is that it gives us the opportunity to play these old songs again live which will bring back a lot of memories for us. We used to play these songs in front of about 50 people when we used to tour, to now be able to play these tracks in front of 2000 people a night on our upcoming tour is going to be lots of fun - It also means we are going to have to relearn them."
'Too B Or Not Too B' will come with 16 tracks plus a bonus DVD of all the band's music videos from United Paper People and their current record Hymns For The Non Believer. The collection will also tie in with the bands upcoming tour "Bones and Skin", which will see Kisschasy headlining the biggest venues to date. Supporting them on the tour will be US all girl rock band The Donnas and Melbourne's The Getaway Plan.
Kisschasy 'Too B Or Not Too B' Available May 10 2008.
