KISSCHASY

In the supposedly halcyon days of Oz Rock, young bands typically took a couple of albums to find their feet. They learned the crafts of writing and performing one song and one gig at a time. Back then the grind of non-stop touring would slowly polish these rough diamonds until their third album and that’s when they would usually start to shine. “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1”, “East”, “Human Frailty”, “Shabooh, Shoobah”… All of them Australian classics, all of them third albums. Such days are supposed to be long gone but somebody apparently forgot to tell KISSCHASY because in their own small way they seem to have (re)traced that journey over the last five years. The group’s songwriter/singer/guitarist, Darren “Daz” Cordeux wrote their first album as a teenager. Now with the imminent release of their third album – the aptly titled Seizures – he and his band-mates, Sean Thomas (guitar), Joel Vanderuit (bass) & Karl Ammitzboll (drums), have ripened into one of Australia’s most important young rock bands.
