Kickball
Kickball has been doing their thing in Olympia for a while now, making pop music that you can quite put a finger on. Hailing from various different Olympia bands some of which are still active. All members of the band perform vocal duties in the basic as ever bass/guitar/drums trio you might think you’ve heard a million times, until Kickball. Their fourth full length, Everything Is a Miracle Nothing Is a Miracle Everything Is will be out this spring on Highfives and Handshakes and the CD will be self-released by the band. Kickball is rolling out for a month in Europe then a month in the states w/ Clara Clara from Fraaaaaaance. Kickball is Lisa (drummer), Jacob (guitar), and Adam (big bear bass).
The new album Everythingisamiraclenothingisamiracleeverythingis is available on this website and from Kickball.
“A Kickball show would be a party even if the audience never showed up to see it. The trio creates its own energy with frantic, schizophrenic disco beats that drive adventurous basslines and start-stop buzzsaw guitar the whole mess of which can juggernaut from sexy, bleeding-heart dance funk into soaring, ecstatic Arcade Fire-style choruses before your oft-shaking ass can tell the difference. ”

“Hearing their songs for the first time is like walking down a trail and unconsciously knowing which way to turn when it forks. ”
