The indie rock four piece (ben-guitar vocals, jed-bass, jeff-guitar vocals, nate-drums) from Kalamazoo, Michigan is bringing their brand of compelling hooks, lyrical genius, and unique arrangements to your town and every other you could possibly ever imagine.

Kiss Me Quick is no stranger to playing live with well over 100 shows performed. They�ve played tour dates with Crooked Fingers, Karate, The Constantines, Engine Down, Mock Orange, Q and Not U, Don Caballero, Mates of State, Bear Vs. Shark, and Thunderbirds are Now! just to name only a few.

With their first release �The Mastodon�, available through Hearts on Fire Records, Kiss Me Quick will be trekking throughout the eastern half of the United States through the month of August with the western portion coming in December and March.

�The Mastodon� was recorded by Matt Talbot (HUM, Centaur) at his studio The Great Western Record Recorders in Tolono, IL and mixing and mastering was done at Tempermill Studios by Dave Feeney in Ferndale, MI.

Kiss Me Quick is not just a studio band, and their intense live show is one not to be missed.
