Kimeera

Kimeera's live performances have been said to give you the same feeling as you get in the moments leading up to a thunder storm; you can feel the tension building in the air, a great energy is about to be released and the sense that when it breaks it will be full of power and beauty.

A bass melody is driven forward by pounding drums while the guitar switches from gentle melody to a distorted wall of noise and back again.  All of this acts as the setting for Richard Owen's raw, angst ridden vocals which often sound as if he's on the verge of a breakdown.

The Sheffield 3 piece have been playing together since 2001 and after a string of incendiary performances gained a reputatio as an exciting specticle.  The sound has been compared to The Pixies, Sonic Youth, Joy Division and Nirvana.
