Tenesee Kait are currently on a break at the moment. Check out Project Reno (www.myspace.com/projectrenorock) for Craig & Scotts new band. Project Reno have been gigging over the last few months and should hopefully be playing in a town near you soon!
If you are or were interested in booking Tenesee Kait for a gig then please fire me an email anyway and maybe Project Reno can help (its still Rock).
Intense and uncompromisingly brutal, yet with the ability to show a side of themselves that is subdued, contemplative and quite beautiful to behold: These startlingly effective loud/soft dynamics have become the lynch-pin of the Tenesee Kait sound, their own individual brand of alternative rock which they continue to showcase to its full effect on their second single, Vaseline Smile. Formed in 1998, Perthshire quartet Tenesee Kait immediately impressed with their first outings (in the form of self financed , The Illustrious Life and Pretty Please) gaining them a large, loyal fan base in Tayside and securing the band gigs across Scotland (taking in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee) and going on to catch the eye of local label, Buzz Records.
In 2001, their debut release on the label, Cherries, even managed to impress the notoriously 'hard to please' Radio 1 (seeing airplay on the prestigious Jo Whiley show and Session in Scotland). Follow up was the 2003 release Vaseline Smile. Another 3 track single which also included Halo? and Detroit Girl. All have variations on the theme of 'relationships' yet presented from three unique viewpoints, both lyrically and musically.
Support slots followed shortly after, playing dates with Annie Christian, Fifth Amendment, , Ginger Wildheart, Span, X is Loaded, thisGIRL, InMe and current alt-rock darlings Biffy Clyro, as well as securing them an exclusive showcase at the Northern Exposure music industry convention and Musicworks Glasgow 2004. Having honed their live skills to perfection though, Tenesee Kait returned to the studio and have recorded more brand new tracks for 2005: Weekend Sessions, this time on Local Label BrokenWing Records. With this new material and an even stonger live set Tenesee Kait are here to make an impression.
