Kiss Kiss announce hiatus

After seven years together, Kiss Kiss have decided to go on hiatus until further notice. The announcement, which was made last night via Myspace, can be read below. The group promises a reunion tour, but gives no insight as to when that may take place. We at UTG wish Kiss Kiss the best on their future endeavors and thank them for two unforgettable releases.

Find the bodies of Kiss Kiss!
Come on Kids! Its easy, Its fun, and from far away you cannot smell the maggots.
(AKA, our usual odor)

I mean, what happened?
We went on a big national tour with The Venetia Fair and then Paper Chase, and then….

*POOF*

Well. We are alive.
We have been home.
We have been working ( crap jobs).
We have been not talking to each other.
You know, usual band shit.

Here is a Q and A of frequent questions we have been receiving.

Q) Did you guys break up? I heard you did!
A) No. We are on Hiatus.

Q) Will you play shows anytime soon?
A) No. For the time being we are filling up our lives with various other things I will get too, but we do plan a big Kiss Kiss reunion tour in the future, I am sure by that point once all the bad hipster shit dies down people who can actually play their instruments and write interesting songs will be cherished once again, and by then we will have influenced all the kids now who looked up to and were inspired by our music, and we will tour bigger and harder then ever before.

Q) Is it true the members in Kiss Kiss are all sterile and angry all the time? Kill babies and murder puppies with speech impediments?
A) Yes. On a daily basis each and every member of Kiss Kiss will shoot blanks, hurt living helpless creatures, and curse God!

All joking aside, the 7 years we were not on Hiatus, we were really blessed with the best damn fans any band could have. You guys were hardcore about us, and we are hardcore about you. Most bands don’t have the level of committed fans almost a decade of Kiss Kiss was able to provide. You guys drove across states, put us up in your homes and hotels, took us on tours of your cities, sent us your poetry and songs, and became many of our closest friends. To this, THANK YOU ALL! So very much from the bottoms of our hearts.

Here is a moment we will always remember.

Thats right, you helped us win MTVU’s the freshman, and we ate cat food, covered ourselves in milk and vasoline, and danced in drag.

So what now?

Well. 3 Members of Kiss Kiss have formed a new band, and the line up is even more unique then ever!!!!

Josh ( Kiss Kiss) – Piano/Synths/Vocals
Stephanie – Harp/Vocals ( That is right, freaking HARP!)
Rebecca (Kiss Kiss) – Violin/Vocals
James (Kiss Kiss ) – Upright Bass
Ben – Drums/Percussion

Our 1st show will be at this years CMJ
October 19th at Alphabet lounge 7pm
( Band Name yet to grace our minds)

We will soon have some videos of our new songs, and hopefully will hit the studio early 2011.

So please, Book us.
We will be ready soon!!!!

As for the other 2 Kiss Kisser’s
Mike is playing with The Gay Blades and his own band The Mayor.
Jared moved to Chicago and is playing drums in Damiera.
And Josh is in another band with the Singer from Bigger Princess. That band is called Echoland and will have a CD out soon.

So, on our end, all is well!

Kiss Kiss was a magical band.
We came to your town, rocked it, broke shit, and probably did something weird like wear a diaper, blow up fireworks, scream and dance? Sadly a hiatus was needed to get the creative juices flowing again. But fret not, Kiss Kiss is not dead, and if a great tour or show is offered, we will be on it like a fly on doody!

So til then.
Much Love Fans!
And stayed tuned for the new Project containing 3/5ths of us!

Much Love
JOSH
