The story
Based in Austin, Texas Killer Kaya synthesizes a diverse sonic palette that draws as much from latin jazz, dub, tropicalia, prog & stoner rock as it does the late-’60s sounds of Big Brother, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Shocking Blue, and Curved Air.
Killer Kaya—who have already shared bills with Shuggie Otis, The Kills, Cat Power, Teenage Fanclub, Levitation Room, Sugar Candy Mountain, Spindrift & The Strawberry Alarm Clock—further carve out their niche when the vocals enter, unveiling the hypnotically droning, operatic and instantly identifiable howl of classically trained lead singer Apoorva Chiplunkar, whose vocal style Shindig! magazine compared to Kate Bush & Klaus Nomi. Killer Kaya's members include: Vocalist Apoorva Chiplunkar, founding guitarist / keyboardist Zach Rengert, drummer Sal Villalobos, guitarist George Fox and bassist Pete Legasey, the latter formerly of Beatnik Bandits.
