MORE ABOUT KELSY KARTER AND THE HEROINES:

Hailing from the vibrant confluence of British grit and Australian charm, Kelsy Karter & The Heroines have stormed the global music scene with an electrifying blend of rebellious rock n roll and unbridled creativity. Formed five years ago, this dynamic four-piece is spearheaded by the unapologetic Kelsy Karter, whose fiery persona and theatrical roots set the stage for the band’s thrilling ride in rock music today.

Kelsy Karter, an Australian theatre kid turned rock frontwoman, leads the charge with a blend of potty-mouthed charm and heartfelt sincerity. Known for her audacious approach to self-promotion, Kelsy has become a media sensation for her innovative, often outrageous marketing stunts. TIME magazine once drew comparisons between her and rock legends like Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper. Kelsy’s fearless attitude towards online hate and her advocacy for self-expression and anti-bullying have made her a powerful voice both on and off the stage.

The band’s core is completed by the inseparable English trio of lead guitarist Matt Peach, drummer Sebastian Boyse, and bassist Tommy Gent. Hailing from Derby, England, these three have been friends since childhood and share an undeniable chemistry that fuels their explosive performances. Their combined talents create a rich, guitar-drenched sound steeped in glam rock and 80s punk, offering a musical experience that is both timeless and contemporary.

Their debut album, Missing Person, was a critical triumph, marking the band as a unique force in modern rock, which led to the album being spotlighted by Rolling Stone Magazine as “The Album Rolling Stone Recommends” in their print issue the month following the album’s release.

With over 800k followers across social media platforms, Kelsy Karter & The Heroines have built a digital circus of live performances, comedy skits, and touring anecdotes. Their social media presence is as electric as their music, showcasing the band’s cheek and charm and Kelsy’s candid advice on everything from self-help to embracing one’s true self.

The Heroines’ spirit were recognized in January 2024 when they won the Spirit Award at the 12th Annual She Rocks Awards, celebrating Kelsy’s influence as a woman in rock music and the band’s impact on the rock n roll scene. Their endorsement deals with Monster Energy, Shure, Fender, and Taylor Guitars further attest to their growing prominence.

Currently, the band is preparing for the release of their highly anticipated second album – “Love Made Me Do It” – rock opera described as an electric and emotional adventure. As they continue to headline tours, support rock legends from past and present and explode on festival stages around the globe, Kelsy Karter & The Heroines remain at the forefront of rock music, proving that when the front door slams, and the back door’s locked, they’ll always find a way through the window.

MORE ABOUT THE KNEE HI’S: One day The Knee-Hi’s were walking down the road and a little girl was crying. They cheered her up with some ironic and bittersweet 1950s pop melodies and she smiled as they danced and sang harmonies in the sunshine. That little girl grew up to be the artist known as Joan Jett. True story.
