Too B or Not Too B

Do you remember back in 2004 when a young band from the Mornington Peninsula released two influential EP's on indie label Below Par Records? These two EP's each sold a few thousand copies and enjoyed some Triple J and community radio play, but still remained mainly under the radar. The band also did back to back tours in a 12 seater van all over the country and shortly after the EP's were deleted as the band went on to release their debut album.

Have you guessed who it is yet?

Four years later, that young band has now sold in excess of 90,000 records, have two gold certified albums, a slew of award nominations, have toured internationally and played to packed houses everywhere they went. However the old school fans were still requesting to hear these old songs from the EP's at shows every time the band tour, so it seemed fitting to compile both of these EP's and release them on one disc.

What came next was the fact that the B-sides from the singles from their debut album, United Paper People, have also been deleted - so it was decided that these B-sides would also be part of this collection titled 'Too B or Not Too B'.

Are you still guessing??....because it's us of course.

Still not feeling complete we decided to add three previously unreleased tracks to the compilation to give our fans a package that every Kisschasy fan would want to own. These tracks are "Jack The Alien", "Wake. Turn. Sleep. Repeat" and "Electric In The Chair". On top of all of this there is also a bonus DVD which features all of our music videos to date. It all fits into a nice package to be released the week prior to our upcoming tour, which will see us playing a collection of new and old songs for the very first time.

‘Too B Or Not Too B’ will come with 16 tracks plus a bonus DVD featuring all our music videos from United Paper People and our current record Hymns For The Non Believer. The collection will also tie in with our upcoming "Bones and Skin" tour, which will see us headlining the biggest venues to date. Supporting us on the tour will be US all girl rock band The Donnas and Melbourne's The Getaway Plan.

Tix are still available for all shows so don't delay, get yours today. Then after you've bought them, enter the competition to win one of the paintings from the 'Hymns for the Non Believer' booklet (more details can be found in the news section).

We will also be in Sydney this weekend to perform at the MTVAA's so be sure to tune into MTV on Sat to catch the awards live.
