Kellies - Las Kellies

Review by Noel Gardner

A totally kickin’ album for anyone who likes the springy, sinewy post-punk that came out of early-Eighties Britain and the equivalent period NYC.»

there's only thing you can bank on when you're confronted with las kellies: to expect the unexpected. from the raw rock & roll of their 2007 debut 'shaking dog' - described by the great everett true as "entirely ace" - to the devo and esg influenced sound of 2009's follow-up 'kalimera', this argentinian three-piece have carved out a reputation for ripping up the form-book, delving into their box of magic tricks and serving up something entirely different. and so it is again on their third album 'kellies': whether it's embracing what they term as their "new sound" of groove-laden and irresistibly catchy post-punk or recruiting reggae legend dennis bovell to help in the studio, it's the sound of a band who always keep things fresh.
