About Me

THE BRAND SPANKING NEW KOLO EP, 'THANK YOU FOR THE BURNING SENSATION' IS OUT NOW, ONCE AGAIN BEING GIVEN AWAY FOR FREE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS ONE....JUST MESSAGE US YOUR POSTAL ADDRESS ON MYSPACE OR EMAIL IT TO [email protected] & WE'LL STICK ONE IN THE POST FOR YOU

If you need reassuring that your address won't be used for stalking purposes, just check out this site and the Kolo forum to see the positive comments from people that have received the EP (and not had our drummer flashing in their front garden!).
History...Formed in the summer of 2005 by three former schoolmates, Kolo have established a large nationwide fanbase through a combination of their intensive gigging and the distribution of their acclaimed debut release, the 'Normandy House EP', to over 4,000 music lovers across the country (for FREE!).
Drawing influences from a wide range of their favourite artists (from The Jam to the incredible Beverley Craven), Kolo manage to incorpate operatic vocals, snappy 2 minute pop songs, attempted murder ballads, spanish salsas and trekking inspired indie-rock within their live set.
"A power pop trio from Exeter, Kolo rattled through a fantastic set of overwrought tunage and won us over with their operatic 80s vocals, a tribute to Eurythmics and their twatting around with a synthesiser. A SYNTHESISER! Yes, they were very good indeed." www.thepeoplesrepublicofsouthdevon.com
"Even if you try, you will not be able to wear out KOLOs music, their perky indie-pop is refreshingly unique in both its sound and delivery, with memorable lyrics and addictive melodies, Normandy House is one for the archive." Hysteria Magazine
