KAV

I discovered Kav many years ago when he joined, in 2004, the band Happy Mondays , a band I love since when I was a kid. With this band, he co-write the last album "Uncle Dysfunktional" and the song "Playground Superstar".

Previously, he was in a band called A.K.A.Weave with who he toured the UK, after that he co-launched the club night "Getloaded" at London's Turnmills nightclub. This was the start of a partnership with Turnmills MD and House promoter Danny Newman. Over the next 18 months, Sandhu brought various musicians to "Getloaded", including Factory Records boss Tony Wilson, Howard Marks (Mr Nice), Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets/ XFM) Peter Hook (New Order/ Joy Division), Annie Mac (Radio 1), Steve Lamacq (Radio 1/ 6Music), Carl Barat (Libertines/ Dirty Pretty Things) Beta Band, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce (The Smiths), The Farm, Client, and El Presidente. (cf wikipedia!!! )

Kav Launched his solo project in 2008 and the first EP came quite quickly in April of the same year. The EP called "Blaggers N' Liars"  received lots of good reviews and Kav get compared to a young Bob Dylan addicted to sleaze.

 

In November 2010, KAV released 'The Mr Nice EP' featuring British legend Howard Marks. This EP  surrounding Howard's biopic film 'Mr Nice' starring Rhys Ifans ( one of my fave actor!!) & Chloë Sevigny. 

During the years 2010/2011, KAV toured around the US, because Kav is from Leicester (another one! :) ) but now he used to share his life between the US, London and Leicester. He even played at SXSW in 2010 but also at the Viper Room in July 2011. He recorded his first album in Los-Angeles, this album will be released in a studio version but also in a live version. This album will be officially released in March 2012.
