Adam Hyde, widely recognised as one half of the acclaimed Australian electronic duo @PekingDuk joins us on the roof with his solo project @keliholiday.
Adam performs for us a mashup of ‘Into My Arms’, a Nick Cave cover (albeit potentially controversially different to the original however, nevertheless, a vibe) and ‘doyoulikeitornot?’ a ferociously catchy track off his new EP ‘JESTERMAN’ that definitely brought Keli Holiday to life in front of our eyes. The electro intro of Keli's 'Into My Arms' is hauntingly reminiscent of Vegas elevator music with a side note of Bangkok karaoke. Despite the cold temperatures, with his shirt off and sexy ‘80s rocker in LA’ feel combined with his new young drummer Molly Shield, there was a considerable amount of heat on the roof.
Adam’s exploration of his own music was initially an intimate affair, writing as an emotional outlet without the thought to release anything. Following a heavy break up and coming off the back of a super busy Peking Duk tour, he felt the need to go deeper on his self expression and put his emotions down sonically. After listening to a lot of bands from his youth, like New Order and Joy Division, and surrounded by the humid Mexi-Californian influences around him, the inspiration flowed.
What came from this pensive creative phase echoes the sweaty dance floors of Peking Duk, but with a new groovy bare-chested feel (very literally in this performance). The new Keli Holiday EP is easy going, and the perfect hot sunny day companion for your low-key pool party. The type with margaritas on repeat, no shoes or shirts allowed and when the sun goes down an illegal amount of hotties in the hot tub.
Holiday's 2022 debut album KELI received over 2 million streams, and received editorial support from NME, MILKY, Tone Deaf, Pilerats, Happy Mag, Life Without Andy, theMusic. Achieving the #1 song on triple j and further radio support from KCRW, and Sirius XMU Discovery we both key milestones for the performer. His continued support echoed across Spotify Editorials, being included in the playlists: New Music Friday (UK, AUNZ, India), Front Left, The Local List, and Indie Arrivals. It’s safe to say this EP is set to land well with anyone who loves a boogie in the sun and an ice cold drink in their hand.
