KKS has quickly stamped their mark on a crowded Melbourne scene, with a style that is both distinctive and unique. Initiated by band-leader/vocalist/keyboardist/lovely lass Kate Kelsey-Sugg, the band rose from humble beginnings at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne. United by a collective love of R&B and Soul music, the philosophy of the band was to play “intelligent music that grooves.”
The setting is Rockwood Music Hall, on a calm summer evening. Talia Billig and the Canadiens have already begun their set. Led by the ravishing curly haired unmistakable vocal force that is Talia, the band has a mellow jazzy soulful sound, which I immediately take to liking. Pretty soon, my toe is tapping and judging by the visual head-bobbing response from the rest of the audience, everyone is enjoying the blissful tunes that have entered the small dimly lit room at Rockwood.
