Kelly Live at The Mint
Sounds LikeRoadhouse Rock and Blues. Vocally Kelly has been compared to Janis Joplin, Melissa Etheridge and Fiona Apple. The band has been compared to the classic rock bands from the 60's and early 70's and a few southern rock bands. *******HERE'S WHAT OTHERS SAY**Kelly’s Lot live up to their reputation as a blues-rock band with an alternative edge. Watching them is like experiencing the Blues Brothers backing Gwen Stefani - Tom Laurie from Music Connection.**You have a bluesy folksy style with guts. Bonnie Raitt on caffeine - Carlton, Texas**It might be unfair to try to draw too close a comparison, even on the level of titles or general theme, with Janis Joplin, but this lady pumps out some awesome blues vocals with the support of some fine musicians that sends a shiver or two up my spine. Great stuff - Electic Connection Radio**It's polka...no, it's blues...no, it's crossover country/rock...no, it's Kelly's Lot! - GoGirlsMusic.com**Imagine if the talent of Led Zepplin, Heart and Janis Joplin were confined to a coffee shop and you walked by while they were playing. Chances are you'd buy coffee there on a daily bases, even if you were allergic to the stuff. That's the feeling you get when stumbling on Kelly's Lot - Gregory, Ventura**I started out thinking you were kind of Chrissy Hinds type, then Ronstadt-esque, then Cher, Carly, and all that, then I realized you're a total original. You have a great voice, and you're a terrific storyteller - Steve**I hadn't a clue as to what type of music it would be and found it to be some great straight up rock and roll. Exceptional musicians the whole "LOT" - Kevin, Rock City News.*******Here's a Slide show courtesy of Mumu.

   About Kellys Lot
EUROPE WAS AMAZING - we are planning our next tour! *************************************************Join our mailing list! - Send us a message with your email address and we will add you to our private email list.****************Our NEW CD "The Light" is now available at www.KellysLot.com******* "Kelly's Lot latest release, The Light, is filled with 10 amazing tracks that will leave you wanting more, much more! The title song The Light is stuck in my head and if you must have a song stuck in your head, it should be a Kelly's Lot song.-- Madalyn Sklar, GoGirlsMusic.com ************************************************** Kelly's Lot has been involved in raising awareness of Hepatitis C since 2000 after losing a friend to the virus. Please visit our Top friend "Hepatitis C Awareness" for more info. There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C and it is the number reason for Liver Transplants. Get the facts! ************************************************* HERE's another REVIEW OF OUR NEW CD "The Light" by Billy Bunker!---------- Kelly's Lot has pulled out all the stops and turned the blues up to 11 on their amps for an assault on the darkness aimed at shooting off the lampshades. This album breaks on through to the other side of midnight. At first listen to Kelly Zirbes' blast above the tower of power I say, "We've had this date from the beginning!" Hang on to your illusions if you can, all that ambition that's been driving you may find a little focus in this Lot's blast furnace to knock right off the road to nowhere. That's hyperbole. I know it. I'm trying to find a clever way to say it. This album moves me. A great album should not be a guilty pleasure, it should be worthy of your heart. This album will damn straight get somebody through a month they might not make it any other way. This band did what music is supposed to do. It makes me want to be a better man. They did it the old fashioned way with great songs, inventive powerful music, and something honest to sing. The road to The Light begins with rejecting the lies, denial and half empty promises on the road to love. There's plenty of rejection in the blues on this album. Kelly Zirbes has the focus to see the truth. Kelly's Lot is a damn fine blues band, with tricks up it's sleeve to take it where it needs to go. The combination of polish and power is heard to find, and positive messages fail in the drool of hearts and flowers half the time. Not so this album. There's plenty of darkness on the road to The Light. Kelly has spent eight years or more spreading the word about Hep C, and giving hope to people who came near the brink of dying. (There's a link to a Hep C site below. Kelly's word on the eight years, "I'd rather save a life than get famous singing the blues.") She's not whistling Dixie when she says, "Say yes to life." This music comes from the deep waters of a half full glass from a band whose seen the dehydrated world gasping for love in clubs and bars, and wasting away in front of their TVs. Kelly Z isn't a poser. I've seen an abbreviated Kelly's Lot sing a couple of songs at a benefit. They were damn good! I've heard the previous album, and it was a fine thing. This new CD makes good on the promise and exceeds expectations. There's something hard to describe makes an album great. Every song has to connect. The musicians have to have the chops and they have to play the song like they mean it. The combination of skill, heart and love of life and music kicks out the doubt and makes a statement of every song. This album rocks. There's pop power where it's needed, and the still beating heart of the front porch folk song when nothing else will do. Kelly's vocals have never been better. I think she nails it from the heart. Guitarist and frequent co-writer Perry Robertson is Stevie Ray and Ryan Adams by turns as clean and powerful as I've heard. Bill Johnston makes some of these songs possible with his inventive sax and clarinet. He extends the color and range of the band. Rob Zucca offers that alternative voice on guitar that fits and fills out the meaning of the song. Mark Drews on bass is one of the great supportive electric players on this album. Sebastian Sheehan's drums nail each song. Kelly's harmonica players are a cut above in Linda Moss and Gary Seagrove. Here's the kicker. There's not a hint of studio musician slick in the bunch. Kelly's Lot is a band from Los Angeles. That's a rare thing. Bands play together with one voice and know the song. They did that on this album, and they do it live. This album is a gift. It rocks. It moves me.

Hello!

I stopped by to introduce myself, I am Emiel, a new programmer for C-tv.
I'll be scouting for bands in the Hardrock / Metal scene, and everything that is related.

So if you know a band, that in your opinion needs promotion, let us know!
Offcourse we are always open to other music styles, so feel free to approach us.


With kind regards
