KIEV

Kiev is an American indie rock band from Orange, California. It consists of members Andrew Stavas (keys, saxophone), Brandon Corn (drums, percussion), Derek Poulsen (bass, computers), and Robert Brinkerhoff (guitar, vocals). They self-released their first EP titled Ain't No Scary Folks In On Around Here in 2010, which Los Angeles radio station KROQ characterized as "like having your ear work on a good puzzle". Their first single "Crooked Strings" received airplay on KROQ's Locals Only show. The band's second EP was released in 2011, titled Be Gone Dull Cage & Others. They were named "Best Indie Band" at the 2011 Orange County Music Awards. Los Angeles blog Buzzbands.LA described their sound as "trippy and cerebral at the same time, occupying that sometimes-exhilarating, sometimes-discomfiting space between left and right brain". Kiev's first full-length album, Falling Bough Wisdom Teeth, was released on October 22, 2013 by Suspended Sunrise Recordings. In November 2014, the band's single "Be Gone Dull Cage" was featured on The Walking Dead episode "Slabtown".
