biography / portrait

Death by Kite is an alternative, noisy rockband from Copenhagen. The three members of the band met in autumn 2003, but it wasn't until mid-2004 they started playing together regularly. Since they came from fairly different musical backgrounds and genres, it took some time to find a sound which matched all three of them. But ultimately it was the differences that turned out to be the strength of the music, in which you may find reminiscences of bands such as Sonic Youth, Placebo, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division etc, all this combined in the unique sound of the band, which sets it apart from most Danish acts. The main threads in the music are the popish melodies as well as the noise and the alternative harmonies. A tight-rope walk between cold war punk, noiserock and indie.
