Kava Kava

KAVA KAVA, who released 'Forwards' on June 23, 2009, have been already been profiled as one of the hottest new British imports to arrive in America.

It doesn’t hurt that many fans are already familiar with a few of the tracks off the new album since they have been featured in the Golden Globe Award-winning TV series, WEEDS, as well as JOHN FROM CINCINNATI and DIRT, and on the newly released XBOX 360 snowboarding game, STOKED.

They will be playing this weekend, June 27th, at the Glastonbury Festival alongside Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Nick Cave and many more.

As Kristin Anderson from Indie Music Universe explains, “Having started as a four-piece psychedelic funk band gracing the underground festival and party scene, KAVA KAVA has now expanded into a six piece force to be reckoned with - that fully realizes a distinct and unique sound that is bringing the indie music scene to its knees.”

The vocals of singer Pat Fulgoni are accompanied by a revolving line-up that includes Matt Bond on guitar, Martin Chung on bass, Chris Corrigan on drums, Steve Davies and Ian Bailey on horn section alongside vocals, guitars, electronica, brass, strings and a funky rhythm section.

Midnight Swimming is a new digital and vinyl label based in New York.

'FORWARDS' will be their first release.

Early reviews are raves:

“KAVA KAVA … fully realizes a distinct and unique sound that is bringing the indie music scene to its knees … Well-earned confidence leaks through every song like sex streams from your television.” - Indie Music Universe

"[The band]’s sound could best be described as ‘a musical rainbow.’ KAVA KAVA isn’t afraid to mix many different musical styles like, rock, psychedelic, club, electronica, soul and funk to achieve their band’s signature sound." - Indie Music Stop

“KAVA KAVA is definitely a band on the come up. Their brassy, electronic rock sound is reminiscent of … contemporaries like the Kaiser Chiefs and the Chemical Brothers.” - Liv2Ride

"[The album] is a 10-track hybrid testament to that fact that Kava Kava know where they’re headed - forwards." - Skope Magazine
