KELLER KINDER

About Me

Formed in 2007, Keller Kinder have cemented themselves as one of New Zealand's most promising dark-end bands. Successfully bridging goth, industrial and metal, Keller Kinder's debut album is dark and intense, with pummeling dance-metal tracks meeting dirgy doom-and-gloom throughout. Stomping drum beats, epic synth lines and a multitude of guitars accompany bilingual vocals that span harsh aggression and vulnerable isolation. All the while Keller Kinder keep their tongues firmly in their cheeks, remembering that it's good to laugh at yourself from time to time too. 2007 saw Keller Kinder play support for Psyche in Auckland, and 2008 saw Keller Kinder perform their first international show at the Under the Blue Moon festival in Sydney, as well as being the first and only band to perform at both of the 2008 Fetish Balls in Wellington and Christchurch, to crowds of over 1,000. Keller Kinder are currently planning further NZ and Australian tours, and the production of more music videos.Music Video: She Likes the Candle Burning
