Kunst were formed in August of 2008 by guitarists Peter Mengede (Helmet/Handsome) and Dale Watkinson (Manzuma/PornFunk Revivalist Allstars) who are joined by Damian Burge (Bolus) on bass, Ross McLennan (Lovejoy/The GoBetweens) on drums and Jimmy Sky (Flowers for Lily/A name Will Come) on vocals.
Kunst combine their influences – which they cite as themselves, and everyone from Bob Mould to My Bloody Valentine – into a wall of dissonant melody that spans the gap between indie and metal, between retro and experimental, all packaged into rolling, head-nodding grooves. Their set ranges from high-energy to downtempo but retains an over-arching emphasis on all things dark.

Hey guys, whats happening? Looking forward to the show tomorrow night. Should be rockin. I will be sure to come and introduce myself when i find ya's. Finney - Dirty Diamonds
You'll have to get on top of the beer/cigs regimen pretty quick, old son. As a grizzled rock hack doing three-set gigs for umpteen years, I can say it's a Herculean struggle against an innate lack of self-discipline. I guess that's why all those Irish bands sit down. You folks could easily hustle up gigs at the Annandale/Hopetoun etc down here, if you're up for some travel (plus we get to see you). As for Rebecca, we have a pre-production rehearsal on Tuesday, so I'll see what she wants you to play on, Shredmaster. I'll ask about roughs as well.
Salutations! Your very welcome dearies! To be honest...I have no idea how I found you, but I am very glad I did... Though I probably found you via Triple J...don't quote me :S
You guys sound pretty sweet; amazingly strong and impressive sound. I would definatly love to come see you at the Tivoli :) Any details on that yet >.< ? Cheers guys! Alyx.
