Kitty Daisy & Lewis
Between them, this trio play guitar, piano, banjo, lapsteel guitar, harmonica, double bass, ukulele, trombone and accordion, swapping instruments between songs at their super-energetic live shows. It's a set-up that has wowed audiences when they played with The Pipettes, The Concretes and The Cuban Brothers and worked a treat when they supported Coldcut at Cargo.
The band started when they visited the Come Down and Meet The Folks Sunday afternoon country and rockabilly stop-off at the Golden Lion pub with, err, their folks. Big Steve of the Arlenes, who ran the event, asked Lewis to come and play banjo with him and Kitty joined them on drums. The second time they played, Daisy took her place on accordion. After playing intermittently at the pub, the trio decided they needed two more members and hauled ma and pa into the set up on double bass and guitar respectively.
The gig offers started to come thick and fast and the band ended up playing alongside our very own Rob da Bank. Suitably wowed, he offered them a session on his show and eventually signed them to Sunday Best Recordings.
So, slick up your fringe and pull on a vintage shirt: welcome to the rockin' world of Kitty, Daisy & Lewis.
