Live: Kellies (Female-Riot-Post-Punk/Buenos Aires/ARG)
Kellies started in 2005 when three girls met at a gig in Buenos Aires, borrowed their friends´ amps and instruments, and started playing music in a garage. Their third album, Kellies, recorded by Crang Records and Rastrillo Records and mixed by
Dennis Bovell (see The Slits, Madness, Bananarama, Fela Kuti), came out in August 2010, and sees the Kellies mixing those catchy garage sounds with cumbia, dub and post-punk.

Singing in Spanish, English, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Catalan and French, Kellies spent several years ensuring their prominenceonthe Argentinian underground music scene. With their firstrecord,Shaking Dog! (2007), they created an irresistible blend ofraw,spicy rock that owes as much to old rock and roll as it doestheRaincoats, which turned out to be a veritable birthday partyof arecord.
In 2009 was released their second independant record, Kalimera.Thatsame year Kellies took the new, tighter songs on their first international tour, Rocking the Old World, unleashing their infectious energy onto Europe with their garage rhythms,
teasing impertinence and all-out fun live shows that incorporated the convulated dress sense of Devo and the bounciness of ESG. After thetour, Argentinian record label Mun Discos released the single Hititoff Straight Away, which can be downloaded from their website.
