About Kenelis
** DOWNLOAD FREE SINGLE 'SICK' ON KENELIS.COM NOW! **
Words to describe Kenelis! Alternative, Attitude, Punk, Rock, Grunge, Melodic & Anthemic. A unique mix which gives the band their own distinctive sound, with fans crossing over all alternative genres. Comparisons have included the raw angst of Hole, vulnerability of Placebo and diversity of Radiohead. Kenelis are constantly developing their sound and are known for experimenting with different time signatures and song structures, whilst staying true to creating unpretentious memorable rock music.
IN JANUARY 2009 Kenelis released their much anticipated debut album ‘Remember How It Felt’ produced by Angus Cowan (Reuben, Redwood) on their indie label Black Grass Records. To promote the album, Kenelis have released singles ‘Nobody See’s Me (But You)’ and ‘Drained’ and produced two professional music videos. Rapid album sales exceeded expectations by selling out three times within the first three weeks on hmv.com.
SO FAR THEIR CAREER HAS INCLUDED sharing the stage with the likes of Reuben, Hundred Reasons, Your Codename is: Milo, Fightstar, Ghost of a Thousand and The Levellers (Mark Chadwick). Exposure includes XFM, Total Rock Radio Metal Head Radio and various Student Radio stations all over the UK. Kenelis have played various Festivals including the famous Rock Sound Cave at Guilfest. Pride history includes London, Nottingham & Brighton and the band have generated a fast growing loyal following in well established London venues including the Borderline, Monto Water Rats, Jamm, 229 & The Cobden Club.
KENELIS HAVE A RAPIDLY INCREASING FANBASE with strong online presence, which can be seen over all the major social networking sites. Kenelis work hard to connect with their fans and understand that fan loyalty is imperative for a long lasting career.
Kenelis have an 8 year history on the rock scene and have worked their way up through the local/london music venues, always playing packed out weekend headline and main support slots in pro venues (given due to their ability to bring fans and energetic live performances) plus they have confirmed a Friday night main support slot at the IndgiO2 (At the O2 Arena) for their Official ‘Jealous’ single launch (first release of 2nd album) on 11th February 2010.
Kenelis played to over 30,000 people across the UK during the summer tour and are currently planning a European tour for next spring, UK Prides & Festivals and pending USA!
The new sound of Kenelis is current, original and on target to fill a huge gap in the market. For too long the industry has been empty of established female vocalists that wont take any prisoners and rock it as hard as the boys. With an army of sound and a musical ability to make you stand up and take notice Kenelis are ready to fill that void.
