Influences: Kerterver Cartzo can say with confidence that B-Movie baby is the only song to ever sample Jim Jarmusch's film "Down By Law".

Some Reviews:
Fopp, Bath, Sat 8th June 2007
"Two in particular stand out: Kerterver Cartzo and The Hysterical Injury. Kerterver Cartzo (don’t even ask, but I do wish they’d change the name, just because I can’t remember it) is really unusual and I’m not sure they are even aware of their strengths and uniqueness. The most-of-the-time lead singer is Tim Daddio (amazingly, real name), a well known dashing figure on the local scene. He looks like he just stepped out of Raging Bull, when in fact, he just stepped out of the audience to be on stage. Smart move; he was always the best looking guy on the floor and now he looks good on the other side. And sounds good with his sort of Nick Cave meets The Cramps musical style. It’s hypnotic, it’s weirdly ambient, it’s down to the bone of words and music and it sounds great." www.charleyspace.co.uk

"Kerterver Cartzo sound like: The Cramps, Nick Cave, Chris Isaac, Suicide and a host of other, but hopefully you get the idea. They also, most of all, sound like themselves, and that’s a good thing.
Their songs have fine lyrics – in fact, they work best as sort of sung poems with minimal accompaniment." www.charleyspace.co.uk

"They're a band that looks the perfect antidote to garish Christmas mawkishness. Daddio lives the moody front man look with his after-dark shades. The music is a soundtrack to dirty rain soaked streets where tough men walk alone - Tarantino or David Lynch should snap them up, music and anti-hero, perfect casting. There's no drums but a swagger which creates its own beat. The best track is the last when Daddio adds a second guitar and the music has an extra layer, added strung-out menace." www.moles.co.uk
"They attack Remember (Walking In The Sand)like Evel Knievel attempting nineteen cars at Ontarion, California in 71. Those daredevils! Playing David to Shadow Morton.s Goliath at the Little Big Horn at the end-of-the-pier. They land with scarcely a bump. The singer fumbles the mic like a nervous lover, his performance pitched somewhere between Dean Stockwell's suave Ben in Blue Velvetand Uncle Fester having a 'light bulb moment in the Addam's Family TV show. With music care of the rock'n'roll houseband from James Dean's highschool prom, we're watching the Kerterver Cartzo 3-D show in glorious technicolour, the greatest show on earth, and it's coming soon to a parallel universe near you. Be warned. Viva Kerterver Cartzo' Tim Purr.
Amazingly, we've somehow been on the same bill as some big names like "Blood Red Shoes" and the stunning, "Flies". KC are proud to be part of the current crop of innovative and exciting Bath and Bristol bands that include "The Hysterical Injury", "Venus Bogardus", "Supermagic" and "Emily Breeze".
