Kav and the Band of Blaggers

'KAV proves why Kasabian have chosen him to open for them at O2 Academy Brixton"

NME.com

"Black Rebel Motorcycle Club-esque rock sleaze... Glorious Garage Rock”
TIME OUT London

"KAV is one of those one in a million artists that just exudes talent... Imagine if Bob Dylan was young in modern times & he had an addiction to sleaze and you’d be half way to understanding KAV’s sound... Simple, perfectly executed sleazy rock with hidden depths & a backpack full of attitude. Sick"

KERRANG! RADIO

‘Punky Britpop with style’

The Sun

‘KAV combines the Speed of the Scream with the Swagger of the Stones...’

This Blagger is a Latter-Day Jagger

The Guardian

‘Gritty Flavoured Dylan Rock’

Kevin Bronson – LA Buzz Bands

A beefy sound that mixes US punk à la The Stooges and earthy Brit rock.... a mix of dirty bluegrass instrumentals, killer riffs & a sing-along vibe that smacked of early Primal Scream. Eat your heart out, Ryan Adams.

The Daily Star

 

 

Hailing from Leicester & spending most of his time between LA & London, KAV’s sound has been compared by the UK press to Dylan, Primal Scream, BRMC, The Stones & The Stooges. He is backed Live by his Band of Blaggers.
