The Up Set

About Me

NEW EP!!! Making A Connection With The Ground (on workaholics on holiday! records) is available now! It's limited to 100 (for now) so act fast if you really really want one.
If you are not in the US, it may arrive sooner if you order from workaholics on holiday! records (via the bsbta boutique).

When asked to describe what The Up Set sounds like, one fan said, "I have no clue, I've never heard of them." I said, "That's ok."

Pretty much, it's me playing lo-fi indiepop / indie rock with the help of some friends.

I know that that's not much of a biography, but there isn't really any story here. I'm just writing songs and hoping that a few people will enjoy them too.

Thank You
- K.B.

Want us to play a show? let me know and we'll make that happen!

Happy Halloween!

Hi! A while ago I wrote and recorded a song about being a werewolf and I though now would be a good time for people to hear it. I couldn't think of a good title for it, so it's just called "Halloween ...
