Kaito - Early singles

 Kaito were a band that used to travel down from Norwich to Cambridge to play gigs quite regularly. As a result I have enjoyed their music for the entire lifespan of the band. Kaito were never very successful in the UK, but for some reason had a much bigger following in the US. Consequently, they seemed to be forever on tour over there once they had albums out. Kaito split up in 2006. Niki went on to be in Factory Floor. Gemma teaches the ukulele to kids. Don't know what Dave and Dieter are doing now, although Dave's probably back in Norfolk making strange noises to pigs.

Here are some freshly ripped singles from the end of the 20th century. First up is "Whoee Owee" from 1998. A lovely orange vinyl 7" on Vibrations From The Edge Of Sanity Records.

Second up, another single on Vibrations, this time on powder blue vinyl, is "60 Second Popstar/Manual Speed"

A minute to win it

Thirdly, a track that appeared on a split with Derby band Cato on the Sickroom Gramophonic Collective label. The track "Go" re-appeared on their first album "You've Seen Us... You Must Have Seen Us".

Stop!


Finally, their first single on Fierce Panda "Cat-nap", also taken from their first album.

Purr-fect
