June 02, 2011 - NEW SHOWS ANNOUNCED	» Show News Post
Hello Ladies and Gents, Just popping our heads up to let you know about a couple of little events we're lucky enough to be involved with. Now whilst we've been extremely busy, (I'm not really sure what the other boys have been doing) but I've been tending to my veggie patch and for those that care, my carrots and broccoli will be ready in two weeks! Fresh vegetable soup anyone? So, veggie garden aside, we're going to be doing two shows at the end of June at some of our old haunts. And the good news is one is in Melbourne, and we're coming back to Sydney for a brief little stint too. We were actually going to come up to Sydney anyways just to have breakfast on Crown St (ha!) but it just so happens that some lovely people asked us to play a couple tunes for you in-between dining. Love it when the stars align like that. We'll be playing a show in Sydney at The Gaelic on Saturday June 25 for DESTROY ALL LINES w/ Ladies and Gentleman, and the second show will be at in Melbourne at Brown Alley (The Colonial Hotel) on Thursday June 30 for NEXT's 6th Birthday! Our friends Viking Frontier, We Rob Banks and Built on Secrets will be joining us for this one. Given we have played these venues a whole bunch, we're hopefully going to revive a few of the older tracks for our earlier fans. So get posting your requests on our FB page so we can read 'em and see if we can treat you all :) We're really looking forward to these upcoming shows and who knows, maybe they'll give us the kick up the bum we need to write some new tunes for you guys. Hope to see you all at our shows. Until then, love and miss you all, Joel and that X Date: Saturday 25th June Event: Destroy All Lines Monthly Night Venue: Gaelic Club Address: 64 Devonshire St. Surry Hills NSW Tickets: $20.00 General Admission / $15.00 Guest List Doors open: 8:30pm Support: Ladies and Gentleman Date: Thursday 30th June Event: NEXT 6th Birthday Venue: The Colonial Hotel Address: Crn King & Londale St, Melbourne VIC Tickets: $15.00 General Admission / $12.00 Host List or Student Card entry.

March 17, 2011 - KISSCHASY TO PERFORM @ THE CLOSING DOWN CELEBRATIONS OF MELBOURNE'S ROCK INSTITUTION THE ARTHOUSE	» Show News Post
KISSCHASY have announced a show on Sunday April 3 at Melbourne's punk rock institution, The Arthouse, which is sadly closing its doors after over two decades of supporting live music. Back in 2002, KISSCHASY had only just formed as a band and were lucky enough to score a gig at The Arthouse, so the venue holds a special place in the band's heart. When the invitation arrived to do a show on the last night the venues doors will be open the band jumped at the chance to take part in the farewell celebrations. Kisschasys bassist, Joel Vanderuit recalls, "The Arthouse, in our minds, will always remain one of the most iconic venues in Melbourne - even Australia. The venue became a regular haunt for us seeing bands play there, and eventually lead to us landing our first ever Arthouse gig back in 2002. That was considered a big deal back then given we were still an underground band from The Mornington Peninsula. With one of Melbournes greatest venues for up-and-coming bands sadly closing its doors, we feel really privileged to be invited back to do one of the final shows there alongside some amazing bands who cut their teeth at the Arty." Opening for KISSCHASY on the night are local bands VIKING FRONTIER and ANCHORS AWAY. Tickets are on sale now and selling fast. Make sure you get in quick to avoid disappointment! Sunday April 3 - The Arthouse 616 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne w/ special guests Viking Frontier and Anchors Away 18+ / Doors 8pm / Tickets $20 + B.F / Door Price $25 TICKETS ON SALE NOW from www.oztix.com.au Buy your ticket HERE
February 22, 2011 - SYDNEY GIG TOMORROW NIGHT!	» Show News Post
Hey Y'All What's been happening out there? Whilst I can't lie, we are still being pretty lazy in comparison to our previous schedules. But we have been preparing to come to SYDNEY for a one off show. We're going to be at the UNSW Roundhouse this Wednesday February 23 (yes tomorrow!) joined by two incredible bands - Papa vs Pretty and Enola Fall. Now whilst this is a University O week event, it is by no means limited to Uni students only. So everyone come down and I can guarantee that everyone will have a cracking party. You can buy your tickets HERE or on the night. Doors at 7pm and it's 18+. We're still on a little bit of a writing/touring break at the moment, but believe me, we will be back before you can count the grains of sand on Bondi Beach! Probably won't be that long, but if anyone comes up with an answer, get at me! Hope to see you at the show and love to each and every... Joel and the rest of 'em.

December 21, 2010 - CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM KISSCHASY	» Show News Post
Ladies and Gentlemen, It's once again that time of the year, everyone is finishing up work, school or still enjoying unemployment! We too have been taking a bit of a break. We've all been enjoying a bit of time at home with our families and the friends that still remember us! I'm sure the lovely staff at the various airports of Australia have missed us but they may rest assured that we'll be back begging for relief of excess baggage in no time. Although we are on a 'kisschasy' holiday, everyone is keeping busy with various other projects, musical and 'other'. For those that care my handicap (golf) is severely suffering for no apparent reason. But I am in the middle of creating a cracking veggie garden at home, which should be finished by Christmas 2016 at my current work rate! Anyways, we just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas and a cracking new year! May all your resolutions last at least 3 weeks. Make sure you go out and catch some bands over the holiday period, there is so many amazing bands touring at the moment, I hope they help fill the void during our hiatus ;) Thanks for all of your support during 2010, and we'll catch you all in the new year! Love Joel and the other hippies of Kisschasy xxx

June 08, 2010 - PHOTOS, NEW SINGLE AND UPCOMING SHOWS	» Show News Post
Hey All, Firstly we want to thank all you lovely folks who came to see us at Groovin' The Moo. We had a great time and hope you did too. You can check out all our festival & backstage photos in our gallery! For those of you who didn't get the chance to make it to the GTM shows, and still need your Kisschasy fix, listen up! It's looking like we're only going to schedule a few more shows between now and the end of the year. We're going to be playing a one-off show in Frankston on JUNE 12TH @ THE PIER LIVE (18+) and JUNE 13TH @ COME TOGETHER festival in Sydney (All Ages). Tickets for both are on sale now. Also, we have a brand new single at radio from our album SEIZURES, it's called WEEKEND. It's a song full of sexual innuendo's whipped into a cannibalistic feast of guitar pop :) It's actually one of my personal favourites from the album. I really challenged myself to write a 'sexually charged' song because it's an area that I've never voyaged into creatively. I was actually listening to a lot of Pavement when I wrote it, hence the 'slacker' feel of the beat and the 'is my arm moving up and down, or am i just letting gravity do it's thing?' guitar line. It's a dirty, dirty song that you shouldn't show your mum ... unless she's into that sort of thing, in which case GO MUM! Lastly, huge thanks for all the 'Dinosaur' love support. The song has been hanging in the Top 40 on iTunes for weeks now which is awesome, and is Top 40 on the ARIA chart! You can HEAR/BUY it on iTunes It's like one and a half dollars. Seriously! Hope to see you at the upcoming shows! Until then .. Darren

April 07, 2010 - APRIL UPDATE	» Show News Post
Ladies and germs, how's it going? So it's been a little while since we've kept you all in the loop, so here's where it's at! We've just begun rehearsals for Groovin the Moo, We are super pumped for this tour, as we love being able to get out to the regional areas. And to be able to do it on a tour of this scale, with bands like Silverchair, Empire Of the Sun, Vampire Weekend etc etc is so massive. As you're probably already aware a few of the shows have sold out, so if your show hasn't, you should probably get on top of that ASAP. Also, coming out on the 9th of April is the new Gyroscope record, I've heard a few of these tracks, and even if I hadn't, I could bet my bottom dollar it's going to be amazing! But I have... So I can say with glee that it's going to be a cracking album that you should all go and get. Big thanks to all of you for supporting "Dinosaur" we love the song and glad you do too! Don't forget to request it on your fave radio & video shows! Any who, back to the driving range for me! Adios Joel and the fellas xx

February 10, 2010 - COUNTDOWN TO THE PREMIERE OF OUR BRAND NEW VIDEO FOR 'DINOSAUR'	» Show News Post
Hey there, Sooooo when it came time to decide about the video to go with our latest single DINOSAUR the one thing we knew for sure is we didnt wanna go about it in the usual way. We decided to run a comp for animation film school students around the country. Fast forward a little and the entries rolled in.... we played Judge Judy...we decided on a winner. Swinburne University student Chris Scott Baker....Congratulations!!! Here is what Chris had to say about making the clip 'I had a three day window between the final submission of my 2nd year film and the due date for the Dinosaur clip. I loaded up on caffeine, bit the bullet and just rushed out a bare bones animation, a shell of the clip I had in my head. With sleep deprivation and two litres of instant coffee flowing through my veins, my eye for quality wasn't exactly the sharpest and my ability to stay awake was waning. But come Monday morning I had a music video for Kisschasy!' Good onya Chris! DINOSAUR will have its exclusive premiere on Thursday Feb 11 at 9am EST at www.novafm.com.au. So make sure you go to NOVA and check it out! Love Kisschasy xxooo

February 09, 2010 - KISSCHASY vs MUSE ON THE FOOTY FIELD!	» Show News Post
hey there, Sooooo when the biggest band on the big day out asks you to come play soccer at the biggest stadium in Victoria you go....Even if you suck. The day after Melbourne BDO we fronted up at Etihad Stadium representing Kisschasy (and Australia) for a friendly game of (hungover) BDO Band soccer called by Muse. It was when we saw footy boots, shin guards and socks we knew we had underestimated the seriousness of the day. Hierarchy and Status aside, it was just man vs. man. The day commenced with Chris from Muse kicking 4 or 5 goals straight against the Aussie side-comprising mainly of members from Karnivool, Kisschasy, Sugar Army and our adopted Aussies DJ Sasha and crew. When all hope was lost and a pants down lap seemed imminent, Mark Stewart scored the first goal for us, as Matt Bellamy trash talked the Umpire for not using his whistle for a missed free kick. That hope Stewy found was soon forgotten as another 3 goals were fired straight through despite Sean's defensive pressure, Hoss from Karnivool's Goalie Skills and our united trash talk...I managed to get a lucky goal before probably another 4 were kicked against us. We changed ends, and before we knew it we were getting kicked off the ground by staff... There were rumours of a $2000 bar tab upstairs, but everyone was in the zone and the game was taken off to Albert Park Reserve to continue the onslaught. Official End result were 10-2, though we tried the old 'Next goal wins!!' They kicked another - and we predictably said it didn't count. Our secret shame of not being very sporty now clearly out in the open, we'd play again in a heartbeat! love karl
February 02, 2010 - ADELAIDE AND PERTH BIG DAY OUT BLOG	» Show News Post
Well last night I finally got 8 hours sleep. We are home from our first Big Day Out tour ever. And may I say that we had the most amazing time. Adelaide was a really fun day, our stage was set-up in a giant shed, so it felt more like a club show than a festival. We had one of the biggest crowds in for the day, so that was nice! I watched a lot of bands that day, I watched Lisa Mitchell, Miami Horror, Rise Against, Jet, Grinspoon, The Decemberists and The Temper Trap. Every band absolutely nailed it. We had a lot of fun with our close neighbours in the dressing rooms Lisa Mitchell (and band) and Miami Horror. It was a long day, with probably a few too many refreshments, but it was a memorable day. Perth was quite similar to Adelaide, you could sense the end was near and everyone was letting their hair down just a touch. We had amazing weather for every show on the tour, albeit a little warm on some of the days, it's better than rain! We would like to thank the Big Day Out, all the bands we made friends with, our crew and all the fans that chose to watch us with sooooo many other bands on offer. It made for a really special tour! Til next time Joel and the fellas x

January 28, 2010 - MELBOURNE BIG DAY OUT - AUSTRALIA DAY	» Show News Post
Hometown, Australia Day, 2 Shows. HECTIC. So we finally got to spend a night at home which was rad, didn't sleep a whole bunch as if I give my body a chance to catchup I think it will shut-down in spite. Our set has been tweaked throughout the tour, but I think Melbourne we got it just right. Perfect festival weather. Not too hot, but nice and sunny. Everyone looked like the were having a rad day. We, however finished our set and had to leg it out to the Australian Open tennis to entertain all the crew out in the outdoor bar. There was some pretty amazing fans out there, Darren and I had the pleasure of meeting and taking some happy snaps with. I'm writing this in a rush as I will be boarding a plane to Adelaide today and heading out there for the last couple of shows. ALSO, a special mention to Karl, Sean and Mark from our team for representing the Chasy at the BDO Soccer game at Etihad stadium. Karl and Mark kicked the only goals for the Aussie team. We did, however, lose 10 - 2. But the internationals had an unfair advantage, the Muse guys even had shinguards and footy boots, and quite some skill to boot. Anyways, I must depart, looking forward to seeing the rest of you in the coming days! Stay happy! Joel and the boys

January 20, 2010 - BIG DAY OUT BLOG #1	» Show News Post
Gold Coast 17/01/10 Being the first show, we decided we'd get on site early. It was a sizzling day in the goldy, and everyone pretty much needed a shower 5 mins after arrival. The activity backstage is hectic, there are dudes running around on motor bikes and hotted up golf carts every where. We're on the green stage, which has an amazing line-up. We watched a few songs of Lisa Mitchell, who was amazing. Felt sorry for her in her amazing (yet extremely warm looking) dress. In my opinion, I feel we had an amazing set, tent was full, hills beyond the tent were full, and we played pretty solid. I must say, however, it was near on 50 degrees on stage. After the show a few more beers were consumed, more to keep our core temperature down that anything. The Decemberists were also quite amazing. Didn't get to see many more acts, but Sydney I'll be everywhere watching everyone. I also saw a man pissing on the punter barrier during hilltops set! Highlight! Joel

June 22, 2009 - LISTEN TO OUR BRAND NEW SINGLE - GENERATION WHY - NOW	» Show News Post
Ok Folks, Here is the first single from our album Seizures, it's called Generation Why. Generation Why was one of the first songs I wrote for the record and after listening back to the demos I found that I really loved the energy of the song and it was the first time I really noticed an evolution in my writing and the Kisschasy sound. There are chords here that we've not used before - really angular guitar leads and jazzy notes. The lyrics in Generation Why are the high point for me. I wrote the song after a few steady nights of drinking with my friends and we were having the typical "the world is so fucked up" conversations at 3am in the morning. After getting home I wrote the song about people who love to complain but aren't willing to do anything to change the things they complain about. I'm definitely one of those people sometimes. Y'know, the type of person who complains about the world food shortage and global warming from the comfort of their heated lounge room. I believe Generation Why is a good example of the Seizures sound - it's more personal, a little left of center and a huge step forward musically. As our tastes and abilities evolve, so does the Kisschasy sound - I hope you enjoy it. Daz. Generation Why I've got a frustration With higher education The theory of creation is dumbing me down And yes I've got an issue with the current situation Going on in the country whose name I can't pronounce... Being negative is the best I'm feeling so happy that I'm depressed Give my love to my enemies I'm paranoid and that's ok with me The earth is getting warmer Soon it will be a sauna And we will have to move our things to outer space Look at all the slaves Making jackets out of suede The corporations run the world and I can't complain... Being negative is the best I'm feeling so happy that I'm depressed Give my love to my enemies I'm paranoid and that's ok with me La la la la etc. Incurable diseases And followers of Jesus Are trying to end contraception are they insane?! The sexist and the racist Are loving all the hate And the homophobe, homophobes, homophobes are secretly gay... Being negative is the best I'm feeling so happy that I'm depressed Give my love to my enemies I'm paranoid and that's ok with me Being negative is the best I'm feeling so damn happy that I'm depressed Give my love to my enemies I'm paranoid and that's ok with me That's ok with me

Simply download our new single GENERATION WHY free ringtone & new album SEIZURES wallpaper from www.kisschasy.com and you will get an SMS telling you how to go into the draw to win SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS tickets & camping passes. Easy right? The new single will be made available from JULY 3 and the album will be released AUGUST 21. Good luck joel x
June 14, 2009 - Ladies and Germs...	» Show News Post
Well how close are we now? Our new site is here, the album is just around the corner. Now because we're so excited to get these new songs out to you, we decided that we couldn't wait for the radio to give you a glimpse we've gone one better. We're offering you a free ringtone of our first single 'Generation Why' from our new album 'Seizures', super exclusive, before radio, before TV... Just for our bestest fans! And as a little kicker, there is also a free wallpaper featuring the album cover, so you can stare in anticipation at that whilst constantly calling yourself to hear the new track :) Now whilst we're in the spirit of giving (when aren't we?) for those of you who were a little slow in buying 'Splendour In The Grass' festival tickets we have got you covered. Well... Not all of you, but someone will be lucky enough to win tickets, and a camping pass to boot. All you have to do is pre-order the new single 'Generation Why' for a measly $2 when you download your free ringtone & wallpaper - That is cheaper than the raffle tickets the old ladies at the supermarket are selling, and the prize is way better than a hamper with chocolate, olives and a stuffed teddy. So make sure you check out the offer on our splash page and get in early for that! Lastly, we've picked our top 10 songs of all time in JJJ's hottest 100 of all time. The lovely crew over there actually valued our opinions enough to ask us what we liked, and have even been good enough to feature it on the JJJ site! So you can all go and check it our top 10 here Whilst you're there, you should probably drop a vote or 2 for us to be included in the HOTTEST 100 OF ALL TIME. You can vote here I know how good you guys are at voting for stuff :) We can't wait for you guys to let us know what you think of everything, and we can't wait to get on the road and play these songs for you on stage. We know it's been a long time between drinks, but I had to perfect my golf game before we could do anymore touring, so for that I apologize... But good things come to those who wait! See you all soon, Joel and the boys xxx
