The Hundred Days
With driving rhythms, soaring guitars, textural keyboards and powerful vocal melodies, The Hundred Days (formerly named Peluka) pushes indie in new directions. Drawing from a variety of influences (post punk, shoegaze, alternative, britpop), the band hits hard with a sound that has been compared to The Cure, Interpol and Radiohead. The band showcases their pop writing abilities with both sophistication and urgency. As a moody, dynamic indie rock band, The Hundred Days aims to please but keeps you guessing.
The Hundred Days music has received adds on Top 40 and Hot AC stations all over the U.S. and has been put into regular rotation on over 20 commercial FM stations nationwide. Recently, The Hundred Days is receiving airplay on San Francisco’s biggest commercial alternative stations Live 105 and Alice 97.3 and was asked to join the 5 selected bands out of 200 submissions to perform at the Live 105 Local Lounge Showcase. Their song “Mac Truck” has been used twice on the new ABC series Knock First and the corresponding Knock First soundtrack. 107.7 FM "The Bone" Morning Show had The Hundred Days in-studio for a live performance. The band was also featured in an issue of Independent Musician Magazine as well as their songs in the I.M. magazine compilation cd. The Hundred Days has been part of the west coast music scene since 2001 and has just returned from a three week northwest tour covering California to Canada.

Kiss Her for the Kid writes unforgettable pop-rock-fizz tunes. Their songs are well crafted, melodic, and bursting with energy. They make you want to dance and reminisce at the same time. They exude an indie-punk style that everyone is welcome to enjoy. Their music been compared to The Pixies, X, The B-52's, and Liz Phair to name a few. KHFTK's members hail from both California and Seattle. Including former California bands The Hookers, Low Rent, and The Vessels. Former Seattle bands that they have played in include Atma, Enemy Kite, and Mr. Twit.
