Summer on the Square with KaiserCartel
Sponsored by Kirksville Arts Association
KaiserCartel are the dynamic duo of Courtney Kaiser & Benjamin Cartel. Each previously leaders of their own indie bands, they met on March 4th four years ago and formed KaiserCartel when they joined forces to tour the country that summer.
They self-released an EP (Double Standard) and toured throughout the US and UK on their own before signing to Bluhammock Music late last year. March Forth, their debut album – was produced by Matt Hales (aka aqualung) and mixed by Matt and Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros) – and is full of low-fi, harmony-heavy, bittersweet songs full of charm.
The bands is currently on tour and intend to stay there until they’ve played for all of you. Here’s what 411mania.com has to say about the duo: “While KaiserCartel look like a couple of emo kids who have lost their way don’t be deceived, they certainly bring their own brand sunshine with them and that reflected light is as warm and inviting as anything you’ll find. A fantastic collection of songs from two people that know how to play with each other and for each other. My album of the year so far.”
