Kitty, Daisy and Lewis

Kitty, Daisy and Lewis are three siblings from Britain, who with their recently formed band, bring something new and discuss-worthy to the Rockabilly revival... or if not Rockabilly specifically, a retro revival from both a musical and fashion-standpoint. Though they themselves don't claim to be rockabilly (Lewis: "Journalists don't know what to call us - they say 'Oh yeah, they've got quiffs, so they must be rockabilly...") the music is almost a perfect imitation of 40s and 50s swing, country and western, rhythm & blues, hawaiin and rock'n'roll, to name a few.

The band claims to use recording equipment only from 40s, 50s and 60s - with no computers or other modern recording equipment.

While the band isn't strictly trying to recreate an era completely accurately or in its entirety, their image and sound is very unique due to its "vintage" and "retro" style.
