Kites: General Info

Member Since	11/3/2007
Band Members	Jean-Philip Grobler
Influences	Everything I've ever heard and liked, and everything I've ever seen and liked
Sounds Like	"I'm curious as to whether such talent is even capable of creating a sub-par song...There's a definite sophistication to the music, the kind of effortless prog rock that feels like the low key parts of Radiohead's "Paranoid Android." Jean isn't trying to be anyone, he isn't trying to be any particular genre, he just wants perfection. And I'd be hard pressed to say he's creating anything short of that." ---Stranded In Stereo----- ''Kaleidoscopic is an apt description for this EP, from its sheer breadth of instrumentation to its lush, lattice-work musical and vocal composition to its dynamic tempo shifts that make it easy to get swept up by the songs and their rapidly evolving complexity." ---Delusions of Adequacy----- "Powerful and Masterful" ---A Limerick Ox----- "A Pop Gem" ---Lunch of Champions----- "...urgent, melodic songs that cry out for - and deserve - mass acceptance." ---Leonards Lair----- "There are moments where it might sound like a long lost Brian Wilson masterpiece" ---The Run-Off Groove----- "Thankfully for Kites, three years led to something great" ---Consequence of Sound----- "Jean-Philip Grobler just wants to represent the beauty of pop music. No mean feat but Grobler succeeds" ---The Power of Pop----- "These guys really didn't remind me of anything, and I can't think of a higher compliment to give a band" ---1938Music----- "Holla die Waldfee, das ist ja richtig gut!!!" ---The Last Pop Song-----
Record Label	Unsigned

Martine Marbel	Jun 14 2009 10:43 AM Hi Jean-Philip! (sorry I didn't believe it was your real name, I guess my long sought-after scepticism kicked in at a strange moment :p). Thursday was great! Had loads of fun, I think I'm still a bit hungover actually! Nice to hear that you like my music, even if it doesn't work with the corpse bride image i've got going on :p Anyway, it was great meeting you! Hope to see you soon, and in the meantime, enjoy your NY-life!
