Kicking Daisies is an authentic, original rock band that resonates across a broad swath of tweens and teens for its honesty and intense musicianship. It is a sound that combines modern rock rhythms with hook laden melodies and flavors it all with virtuoso guitar and drum flourishes. Their music sounds great in the studio; but you need to experience Kicking Daisies live to fully comprehend the talent of these young prodigies. The band members are truly gifted songwriters and musicians and have a powerful stage presence that doesn’t seem possible from kids their age.
Lead singer Duran Visek, 14, sings, writes songs, plays guitar, piano and drums; but it’s when he walks on stage and all eyes become riveted on him that you know you have met the next great rock star for a new generation!
Caitlin Kalafus is a cosmic force of nature. At just 16, she has already holds the title of "world’s fastest female drummer". Quite simply, she is the best drummer of her generation. Her notoriety as a drummer (she already has millions of hits for her You Tube videos) may soon be surpassed by her ability to write songs that touch your soul while rocking your body.
Her sister, 13 year old Carly Kalafus joined the band at Caitlin’s insistence to play bass and complement her on vocal harmonies. Carly is the group’s fashionista, as well as a bona fide genius, and defines the word overachiever. Although Carly is a gifted piano player, she only picked up the bass eight months ago when she joined the band.
13 year old Ben Spremulli explodes on the guitar with fiery pyrotechnics but also has mastered the subtle accents needed to complement the pop melodies that the band excels in. He has been compared to talents as diverse as Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eddie Van Halen. Simply put when Ben plays, jaws drop.
Singers, songwriters and multi instrumentalists intent on setting a new path that blends riff driven rock with incredible vocal harmonies to create a sound that fills you with that " I’ve just heard something amazing" feeling. Kicking Daisies captures the essence of teen yearning, rebellion and idealism yet is firmly grounded in optimism and a positive outlook towards life.
