Sidekick Kato

Copacetic emo rock for sunny days with the windows down. Narcotic guitar hooks and pleading vocals guarranteed to make you feel silly about being so pleased.

Sidekick Kato drop syrupy kisses into your ears while bouncing alongside you on the neighborhood trampoline.

They put their unique spin on the indie rock sound. With alluring droning rhythms and a knack for melodic styling, Sidekick Kato seems wondrously akin to the likes of Superchunk and Archers of Loaf. However, their often otherworldly musical embellishments sidestep the typical in favor of a more exotic approach to this thoroughly traversed genre. Their song "Understanding Liquid Courage" plays like a topographic map of the pubescent heart: A rock driven romp with emotional flavor and wit.
