Smoke Notes

You’d expect any self-respecting young North London band that boasts an average age of 16 to spend an inordinate amount of time filling their Iphones with remixes downloaded from blogs, rather than cutting their tunes onto 78s. But then brother-and two-sisters rock & roll enthusiasts Kitty Daisy & Lewis are no ordinary band. The three siblings – now aged 15,18 and 17 - first came together onstage at a country and rockabilly jam in a North London pub.

Five years later the 50s music, fashion and technology obsessed family have built a massive word of mouth audience through a stream of rapturously received gigs and festival appearances and are ready to release their first long player on Rob da Bank’s Sunday Best label.

Multi-instrumentalists Kitty Daisy & Lewis play guitar, piano, banjo, lap steel guitar, harmonica, double bass, ukulele, trombone and accordion between them. The album was recorded in glorious, utterly digital-free analogue by Lewis and his father Graeme in their home studio in Kentish Town. A stickler for living and breathing the music they play and talk so passionately about, Lewis DJs, collects and even cuts his own 78rpm records himself when he isn’t recording with his sisters.

Recorded between school and college duties the album is a mixture of the covers their dad used to sing to them when they were children, together with new material like the heart torn ‘Buggin’ Blues’, written by Lewis and inspired by the great late Otis Spann (Chess Records).

The album leads with the new single ‘Going Up The Country’ – a perfectly rounded summer holiday feel-good jam, full of harmonica solos, handclaps and lyrics about leaving the city smog for fairer country hills.

The album fuses Blues, Swing, Country and Rock 'n' Roll while all the time sounding as young and fresh as the band behind the music.
