Since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album A Novel, the local indie pop act The Kindness Kind has been wowing crowds with their catchy electro-infused sound that rightfully draws quick comparisons to The Cure or The Smiths. Jumping between tones and time signatures, the deliberate compositions and melodic flares serve as perfect backdrop for the distinctive vocals of songstress Alessandra Rose–accenting more than overpowering her. Theres been no official release since the bands 2008 self-titled sophomore effort, but you can be sure that this show will be sprinkled with a taste of material from their forthcoming record, due out sometime this year.
