Kyoto are currently on a lengthy hiatus. Call it hibernation or suspended animation! We don't like to say we have 'split up', but the whole band has been put on the back-burner for the forseeable future whilst we concentrate on our own individual band projects.
Stu & Greg can be found in their new band Solmyre and Mike can be found in his new band Anon.

'One dreary night in St Mary's, Southampton a little known music journalist bared witness to a little known local band named Kyoto. He was impressed. He liked the heaviness mixed with angelic vocals. He liked the authority with which they stormed the Joiners upon that evening. All of which was magnified when the following band of the night paled in comparison to Kyoto. That journalist is me by the way, and now I have their CD in my grubby little hands to pass critical eye over.If there's one thing that sticks in my mind about Kyoto's performance that night it's the infectious main riff on opener "Sequel". Criminally simple (perhaps the secret to its success), it lodges itself inside your head and refuses to budge, and it's certainly obvious why the lads chose this cracker to kick the album off with. "...and More" continues the trend with a majestically sweeping vocal line in the chorus (at least I think it's a chorus) that contrasts with the minimalist verses. So far, so good.'

NEW LIVE REVIEW
Standing relatively close up to appreciate the full impact of this band (and also to try and figure out whether or not this is Kyoto), I'm surprised by the excellent sound pumping out of the guitarist's amp and the PA. The Joiners usually has great sound but these guys have sorted out their levels just right, allowing the soulful vocals and groovy, grungy riffs to hit the audience with full force. There are elements of Muse, Incubus and Jimmy Eat World in this soaring vocal line, not to mention the confident smirk of Jack Black that lines the front man's stage presence. This 3 piece fills the stage with such confidence it's hard to believe that they're the first on tonight.The music itself is hard to pin down as the set is kept lively with elements of funk and thrash that intersect the grunge basis of the sound. This is the difference between seeing these lads tonight and seeing countless other unsigned bands of the same genre; I'm watching what is essentially a chord-based rock band with simple arrangements but I'm not exactly sure what will come next. It holds my attention and I can't help but grin at some of these infectious riffs. As I await the next thrash intersection I overhear someone mention that this is Kyoto. Well I'm glad I enjoy it, this makes obtaining a CD for review a whole lot easier.'

A fantastic piece of music. Very well structured. Reminded me of a soft Placebo song in style - CDDK Musik
