Kins U.S.A. Tour

KINS

Melbourne, Australia (by way of Brighton, UK) band Kins hits the Turf Club in Minneapolis tomorrow March 6th, for an intimate show in support of their debut self-titled release (on East City Records).



The quartet originally formed around a collection of home-demos by frontman Thomas Savage and just finished a short tour supporting fellow Melbourne act, Courtney Barnett. After re-locating to England, they gained a record contract and rhythm section to complete the band, and have been gathering buzz ever since.



An atmospheric, downtempo sound with “themes of confusion, guilt and nihilism”, this is clearly a band on the way up, and a chance to perhaps say, you saw them “when”.



Locals tiny deaths and The van Gobots round out the Minneapolis lineup.
