Kempsey held the indie flag high, as traces of Weezer, Death Cab For Cutie and even some more bluesy feelings shone through, combining to create and enthralling combination. More about the songs and less about the image, the four-piece took every note in their stride, quickly winning the growing crowd over.
We don't have anything lined up at the moment- we're into exam crazy-times at uni and we have some rehearsing and recording to do! But yeah, looking forward to getting back into it. I love doing music stuff.
