Alice Sweet Alice are mavericks in the Alt Rock music world,
defying any easy pigeonhole. In fact,
ASA invented one word to describe their unique- and ever-evolving sound: “Electropostpunkadelic”. As one Kansas City reviewer described Alice
Sweet Alice's music: "Take the
turbulent undercurrent of Joy Division, add edgy guitar-synth crunch and hooks
ala Garbage, drop in the haunting post-punk of Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees,
a dash of Love and Rockets psychedelics, and polish the whole mix with
angst-meets-curious inclinations inspired by The Cure's rhythmic urges. Something like that with a twist.” A UK review for ASA's most recent album “MANDALA”,
stated: “It's hard to say what you
notice first about Alice Sweet Alice, but it's probably fair to say that Ali
Kat's vocals come fairly close to the top of the list. Tuneful and soulful, she
is (thankfully) not given to the histrionics found on your average Evanescence
album, instead opting for a tuneful drawl in the vein of The Kills or the Yeah
Yeah Yeahs, albeit with a significantly more interesting musical backdrop.”
Despite being 4 years old, and having 2 top
selling full-length albums and one live album under their belt, Alice Sweet
Alice remains relatively unknown on their home turf. However, on the 17th of October 2011, Alice 102 in Kansas City,
a commercial radio station, placed Alice Sweet Alice's first single from their
new album MANDALA entitled “Full Circle” in light rotation. Also, in December 2011, ASA was chosen to
work with Gotham Music Placement in Santa Monica, CA and is currently working
with them on multimedia, film and TV placements. ASA has had some success overseas, where via their eastern
European distributor “AMAdea Records”, Alice Sweet Alice has consistently
remained at the top selling status with their first two albums.
ASA released MANDALA on 27 September 2011 their first
studio album since 2009. Many of the
songs were recorded live at AUDIO CAVE RECORDING STUDIO to capture ASA's inter-band dynamics and energy, which
is conveyed during ASA's live performances.
To support MANDALA, ASA is playing regionally and are planning a
supporting tour of the central US for 2012 and perhaps Europe for ASA's eager
European fanbase.
