Kristeen Young Residency with STUNTDRIVER & Don De Vore at The
Satellite - Free Show - RSVP Starting out life as a foster kid in St.
Louis, the half-Apache/half-German, hard-to-describe (pin down and
destroy) artist, Kristeen Young, has always been the very definition
of D.I.Y. Step by small step (without a record label, booking agent,
or manager) Young has moved from difficult beginnings to recording and
touring (as opening act) with some of the most respected musicians of
the era: David Bowie, Morrissey, Dave Grohl & Pat Smear, Nick Zinner
(and more). With her new album, “The SubSet” (tbr Sep. 4, 2019)
Young continues this take-the-reigns rule of action by writing,
arranging, producing, mixing, and playing almost every instrument
(except live drums: played by drummer, Jefferson “Baby Jef” White)
herself. The dissonant piano bashing, tribal beats, operatic vocals,
and incisive lyric moments are all there, but in changing contexts and
mixed-genre settings. In support of the release this autumn, Young
will be playing residencies in various cities: including Berlin in NYC
in September, The Satellite in Los Angeles and DNA Lounge in San
Francisco in October, and various venues in London in November.
