Introducing… The Special Ks /
Intelligent and edgy, five-piece electro pop outfit THE SPECIAL Ks have taken the south by storm with their catchy, synth driven pop, and with their debut album in the final stages of production they are now preparing to embark on their second UK tour.
Band members Howard Kaye (vocals), Darren Watts (keys), Mat Griffiths (guitar), Tom Gandolfo (bass) and Ryan Holt (drums), met through chance encounters after moving to Brighton from all over the UK in 2008. They began rehearsing together immediately and quickly developed a unique style of song writing, creating ways to weave each instrumental part while retaining their trademark energetic dance beats.
The band’s music bridges the gap between chart-topping pop and intensely clever live technology, and has gained them a legion of fans through their pitch perfect, high energy live shows.
Mentored at the time by the team behind The Kooks, The Special Ks embarked on a nationwide college tour, and were loved for their individual style and memorable tunes. Soon after, the band beat 3000 other acts to be crowned winners of the BREAKOUT FESTIVAL. The final showcase held at London’s former Carling Academy; the band went on to play at the Breakout Music Festival main event in the Maldives broadcast on MTV and Yahoo.
