Kickstand Productions Presents: MICHELLE

Limited Seating. First Come, First Served. Through sharing the sacred space of meals and the secret space of dreams, MICHELLE presents a picture of a band enthralled by their craft, a group capable of melding six unique perspectives and backgrounds into one cohesive, impressive collection. AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS is the culmination of what it means for six friends and collaborators to continuously reimagine their worldon 14 succinct tracks. Born-and-bred New Yorkers, MICHELLE formed in 2018 around their celebrated debut album HEATWAVE. The band is comprised of Sofia DAngelo, Julian Kaufman, Charlie Kilgore, Layla Ku, Emma Lee and Jamee Lockard. On their forthcoming record, the predominantly POC and queer collective are closer than ever before as they continue to mix and match the writing and production groups amongst the six of them. Jamee notes, Weve learned how to maximize everyones strengths by listening to each other. The hallmarks of MICHELLEs music layered vocal harmonies, analog synthesizers, vibrant percussion, smoldering hooks dominate the sonic landscape of the album. Songs hop across genres, from funky Rs early songs, something they admit was learned by reflecting and allowing for artistic growth.Charlie notes, If HEATWAVE was a perfect image of every member of MICHELLE as a person at the end of their youth, this album really feels like a transition to adulthood, going from kids to...non-kids.
