Kisschasy unleash video clip + announce album launches
An armchair, a coffee table, a lamp, a fireplace, a phone and a bookshelf. Sounds like your average lounge room yeah? Well, not quite.
Add an exploding TV, a weeping statue of Mary and an undisclosed amount of flying red liquid engulfing the room and you have GENERATION WHY the brand new video from KISSCHASY.
This electrifying new video is directed by Mathematics - the brains trust behind the latest Empire of the Sun & Hilltop Hoods clips.
Written during a year where songwriter/frontman Darren Cordeux says he got “ripped off, pissed off, bored and watched a lot of TV” the deliberately chaotic scene that unfolds in the clip reflects the ‘armchair philosopher’ concept that inspired GENERATION WHY.
“It’s about people who love to complain” Darren says. “People that constantly whine about things that they really have no intention of doing anything about. Being negative is the best. Really we could all do a lot more about the state of the world. So it’s just a little commentary on society.”
The new video from KISSCHASY will have its exclusive worldwide premiere on You Tube this Friday June 26 at 9am AEST via www.kisschasy.com.
To celebrate the release of GENERATION WHY, KISSCHASY will launch their brand new single in superb style – playing shows at Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory on Thursday July 23 and at Melbourne’s Ding Dong Lounge on Tuesday July 28.
Tickets are $20 and include a copy of the single GENERATION WHY (or you can purchase a ticket without the single for $18). Tickets go on sale at 9am Monday June 29. For all venue & ticketing info hit www.kisschasy.com.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Haha, it could be anything really, from drinking jager to dancing to ‘Shake Your Tail Feather;’ it has happened before… Depends on what side of the actual show you’re there for. We go pretty easy before a gig and after the gig we’ll be drinking if nobody has pinched the drink rider or smashed it too hard.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
That’s the easiest question in the world to answer: Buck Hunter – Safari, with unlimited credits. BOOM!
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
The band that we just toured with in the states, ‘Fairway to Midland’ is awesome. They were probably one of the nicest touring acts that we’ve ever played with, very accommodating seeing as they were headlining most of the shows and the performance was definitely something to behold. The singer Darroh had a really awesome voice, although he suffered a lot of throat problems in the first couple of weeks. It didn’t stop him though, every night after they played he always exhausted everything he had and it wasn’t uncommon to see him sprawled on the floor with a bloody nose. I was impressed by not only his charisma on stage but by the solidarity of the band backing up his every move. Very entertaining and worth checking out live.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
Don’t forget your phone charger. Internationally, you also have to remember your passport and a tube of vegemite as that’s pretty hard to come by outside Australia.
What's your secret talent?
I’m the most inflexible person in the world, much like a rod of steel. It takes years of slovenly laziness to be as inflexible as me, quite an achievement. I’m about a foot off touching my toes. Amazing.
AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
Well personally I only have facebook out of those three and I hardly ever check it because I have better things to do with the little spare time that I have. Of course the band as whole has a my space site where people can get tour news and the like http://www.myspace.com/karnivool In my opinion Twitter is a fucking waste of phone-internet technology and is the downfall of humanity, much like the snooze button on an alarm clock (see Seinfeld episode). Fuck Twitter. I mean what is the point, really…?
New Empire
Since their formation, the Sydney four-piece have constantly been experimenting and fusing different styles to create their original and powerful brand of music. New Empire's high energy and powerful live show combined with their heartfelt and honest music makes them one of Sydney's most popular new bands. Awoe magazine has described New Empire as "the essentials of the rock pop culture", and this is clearly echoed by thousands of music lovers across the country.
Forming in the late Summer of 2003, Euphoria Audio are a Rock/Popular band from Wakefield, UK. They have worked closely with producers Stuart Epps (Oasis, Robbie Williams, Jimmy Page) and Steve Levine (Culture Club, The Beach Boys), and most recently have recorded in Trondheim, Norway with Universals D-sign Music (Kylie Minogue, Joe Cocker).
In 2010 the band showcased at the Musexpo music conference in Los Angeles in front of world-wide delegates as well as a performance at the legendary Viper Room.
