Keller Kinder

Bio:

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.

2009 saw more touring and promotion, including playing support for Hanzel Und Gretyl, and the completion of the band's second music video, to their song Labyrinth.

2010 has so far included more touring around NZ, and the release of the Labyrinth EP, which includes alternate versions and remixes from some of NZ's leading industrial artists. Further NZ and Australian tours are also being planned, and new material is also being written.
