Kisschasy are an Australian rock band formed in Victoria, Australia, in 2002. Since forming, their line-up has consisted of lead vocalist Darren Cordeux, bassist Joel Vanderuit, guitarist Sean Thomas and drummer Karl Ammitzboll.
The band has released two gold certified studio albums, two extended plays, a documentary DVD and a compilation album in their 8 year career, selling in excess of 90,000 records.
In 2004, Kisschasy released two EPs on indie label Below Par Records, the first titled Darkside/Stay Awake, the second Cara Sposa. The band toured in support of these EP's right up to the point of recording their first album United Paper People.
The first single from the album was "Do-Do's & Whoa-Oh's", which gained heavy rotation on both commercial and alternative radio. The band received "Best breakthrough artist-single" ARIA nomination for "Do-Do's & Whoa-Oh's", as well as a Channel V Oz Artist of the Year nomination in 2005. Kisschasy were also nominated for the "Spankin' New Aussie Artist" award at the MTV Australia Video Music Awards 2006. The singles that followed from the album were "Face Without a Name", and "The Shake". United Paper People has since been certified gold in Australia, selling in excess of 35,000 copies.
Hymns for the Nonbeliever was released on 21 July 2007. Hymns for the Nonbeliever was Kisschasy's second album to be certified gold in Australia. The third single off the album was "Strings and Drums".
In May 2008, EMI released a 16 track Kisschasy compilation album, titled Too B or Not Too B. The album includes acoustic tracks and b-sides, with a bonus DVD of all their music videos from United Paper People and Hymns for the Nonbeliever (excluding "Ugly Birds In a Beautiful Cage" as it was released just after the DVD). In June 2009 they launched a new website in conjunction with the album's theme.
The album's first single, "Generation Why", was released to radio airplay and as a digital download on 7 July 2009. The song's music video was released onto YouTube prior to the single on 24 June 2009. It will be released as a CD single on 24 July 2009. The song is said to be about "armchair philosophers who love to complain," according to songwriter Darren Cordeux, who also said, "The title kind of came after the song was written so its not exactly specific to 'my generation' but I do spend the most time with people around my own age so I guess it could be taken that way". The album's second single, "Turnaround", was released in September 2009 and the video was shot at the Darlinghurst Community Centre, Sydney. In mid-January, 2010 it was announced that the band's third single of the album would be 'Dinosaur'. The music video was created by a university student and featured two animated dinosaurs.
Kisschasy is undertaking the Seizures tour around Australia in late 2009. Kisschasy were part of the first announcement lineup for the 2010 Big Day Out. Since their 2009 national tour, they have also performed at Southbound, MS Fest, Pushover and in have recently joined the lineup for Groovin' The Moo 2010 , a festival that specifically goes to regional areas of Australia.
