KALEV
Experimental electro-industrial, rising stars. Kalev celebrate their latest dark, rhythmic release in the form of double A-side 'Slight Death Of You' / 'Glass Crowd' with a return to New Cross Inn. A venue they "accidentally headlined" in such magnificent style that they've been enticed back. Check this out!!!
Following the success of singles 'Undoing' (winner of Zane Lowe's 'Fresh Meat' on Radio 1) and 'Cutting at Nothing' (Top 3 UK Rock chart and XFM 'Drive Time' winner), KALEV have toured the UK, played a session on the John Kennedy show and headlined Frog at The Astoria. The south london quintet have been described as 'the sonic equivalent to drawing a straight line from Ian Curtis to Trent Reznor' (Gigwise) and are winning a fierce reputation on the live circuit.
