Kelpie

Rising from the ashes of broken hearts and backflips, Kelpie’s punked up poetry is the best cure for seasickness. Sublime and filthy Americana set to loose, guitar-driven folk rock, Kelpie’s music is steeped in rich metaphor and literary references. Kelpie is an experience to be reckoned with, moving seamlessly from tender folk ballads to driving guitar rock and traversing a multiplicity of soundscapes in between. A project spanning more than a decade of songwriting, the songs feel like a world outside of time, where oceans, instruments, love, pain and cosmic mystery clash. After several years touring and gigging Melbourne, Newcastle and Hobart as Scurvy and the Dogs, this band of multi-talented multi-instrumentalists, took some time out to focus on circus and musical theatre projects. They return to the world of songwriting and performing with a new name, a new lineup and an album to drop. Guitar in hand, Kelpie deftly guides you through detailed worlds and distorted soundscapes with a striking honesty. You can dance, cry, howl at the moon and hug your friends.
