Kate Boy (pretty new band, for fans of The Knife)

deep-blue [Edit] [Delete] 22:04, 31 October '13

Female vocalist with a weird voice? Check.
Huge beats? Check.
From Sweden? Check.
Arty videos? Check.
Mysterious image (plus weird name)? Check.

Kate Boy is an electropop quartet from Sweden. "Kate" is the Australian Kate Akhurst, "Boy" is the trio of Swedish producers Rocket Boy (Markus Dextegen, Oskar Sikow Engström and Hampus Nordgren Hemlin). They have an interesting sound, inspired by The Knife, Deep Cuts-era. Less weird than The Knife and definitely more listenable than Shaking the Habitual.

They made 3 videos so far (the only songs officially released so far):
Northern Lights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raqxctNC04k
The Way We Are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1-Zl6PGjKc
In Your Eyes (cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngBwzR1ZQHE

3 excellent live performances (amazing for such new band):
Lion For Real: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YqCgRg_gDY
The Way We Are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uar4HHXT3FE
Human Engine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL2pOkB1hyg

PS: The programming of their beats is really impressive in my opinion.
