Kill The Pain, I Do What I Do

Available on all digital platforms from December 1, 2022, distributed in Italy by You Independent for Mhodì Music Company. Now on digital radio: "I Do What I Do" by the female duo Kill The Pain.

Kill the pain?

In 2005, Phoebe Killdeer and Melanie Pain found themselves together on stage with the French band Nouvelle Vague. Partly out of irony, partly out of equality, they created a sort of game, a give-and-take, with each other but above all with the audience. Getting along, to say the least, very little...

500 shows later, during a break in Paris, something newer than nouvelle happened: an intoxicating mix of writing and jamming, punctuated by a glass of wine, turned into a quick and dirty way of working and playing -- low-cost, fast, and above all fun.

From these experiments, Phoebe and Melanie emerged as Kill the Pain (KTP), a dynamic duo, stripped down and powered up, standing on the shoulders of Nouvelle Vague. But where NV pushed backward with their relentless revisitations of punk classics, KTP push forward, with one hand reaching for the stars and the other reaching for the gutter.

Kill The Pain literally moves between nostalgic styles, disrupting time as much as possible, with shameless pleasure.

Eccentric Women of Pop Culture

In the tradition of pop culture's eccentric women, the duo allows itself to reach a state of madness, in the vein of films like Thelma and Louise, Daisies, or the Kill Bill scene by Tarantino where Phoebe and Melanie would fit in perfectly...

Like the collage illustrations that accompany their kaleidoscope of musical genres, things could take, and certainly will take, an unexpected turn.
