Planet Notion - The Kabeedies

How can a name be so indefinable, yet so appropriate? Kabeedies sounds like a Wurlitzer crossed with a cuddly toy carousel animal. So you get all the lovability and cuteness of stuffed fabric and the spinning, vomit-inducing insanity of a fairground ride dosed up on sugary donuts and candyfloss. ‘That's how a performance is meant to be, chaotic and fun. Rory's got himself a massive blotch on his forehead from smacking his face on the microphone, and usually I'm passing out from exhaustion and Katie and Evan have lost their voices,’ explains Fab. The whirling dervish that is Katie can’t help but be the band’s focal point, but every one of them looks like they’re having the time of their lives on stage and they’re only 16-18. We’re jealous.Having mapped out their deliciously sweet sound on forthcoming Cool For Cats single, ‘Treasure Hunting,’ a crossed-swords balance of galloping bass, chiming guitars and hyperactive voices, it can’t be long before those saccharine sounds capture everyone’s sweet tooth. They already had ‘close to 1000’ people watching them at Latitude Festival this year, in the rain. Come next year’s festivals, they may well still be that sweet lil’ indie band but they’ll be towering over you…probably on unicycles and stilts.
