Band
The Kelvins play a powerful punk ‘n’ roll with the classic backline: two guitars, bass and drums, make out of the amps a mixture of punk (Ramones, Nine Pound Hammer, Supersuckers), rock ‘n’ roll and country music (Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Hank Williams).
A lot of gigs, in Italy and beyond, during the past 4 years of musical experience. Some of the most amazing shows have been supporting the Queers, Nashville Pussy, Manges, Peawees, thee S.T.P, Retarded, Marsh Mallows, Vanilla Sky, Even in Blackouts, and many more.
Once more a big deal is the second supporting act to the Queers (summer 2005) in Torino while they were touring across Europe.
In the last months of the summer 2005 the Kelvins made out their first full-lenght, “Shake your ass, baby!!”, produced by theirselves and out in stores in fall ’05. The album is co-produced by the Italian punk rock label San Martin Records with the participation of El Paso, Panc Records and the german Devil Shitburner Records, and distributed in Italy (Goodfellas), Germany-France-Benelux (DSB Records), USA (It’s Alive) and Japan (Dream-on Records).
It begins the promotional tour for the brand new album: the band toured across Italy and Europe; in august 2005 The Kelvins are selected by the Venice Rock Festival to support the italian show of the Motorhead (but the gig has been unfortunately cancelled for the health problems of the frontman Lemmy); in december 2005 the band made some fabulous gigs in Germany supporting band like Diamond Dogs and Nashville Pussy.
In april 2006 is out a split-CD with the Boozed, german rockers hosted by the Bitzcore Records. This record is, as well as the first one, entirely produced by the band and released in Italy and Germany in 300 copies Limited Edition CD with a video bonus track of the two bands.
Meanwhile press hails Kelvins’ issues; they get lots of enthusiastic mentions about their records and live shows on fanzines, musical magazines and websites concerning punk rock or, more generally, music and passion for rock ‘n’ roll.
