Bratmobile meets The Fall
Artist Biography
by Mike DaRonco
Since their Austin, TX, debut in 1997, the Kiss-Offs
have brought on their hectic, noisy garage punk comparable to the likes
of the Grifters, Emily's Sassy Lime, and Bratmobile. Accompanied by a tongue in cheek stage show that included the use of strobe lights and pyrotechnics, Dwayne Barnes
(drums/ vocals), Gavin Scott (bass/ vocals), Katey Jones (keyboard/
vocals), Travis Higdon (guitar/ vocals), and Phillip Niemeyer (guitar/
vocals) released their first EP, Love Evidence, through Peek-A-Boo
Records in 1997. Following two additional singles, the Kiss-Offs
recorded their first album, Goodbye Private Life, in Dwayne Barnes'
garage before having Peek-a-Boo Records release it in 1999. A
nation-wide tour in support of it would follow for the duration of the
year, including a brief stint opening for the Rondells. Another studio release, entitled Rock Bottom, surfaced in early 2001.
