KULEEANGEE + FINNFM
10KuleeAngee, formed by Scottish friends Duncan Grant and Keshav Kanabar,
blends guitar-driven melodies with acid house influences, aiming to get people
moving in clubs and on festival stages.
Hailing from different parts of Scotland—Duncan from suburban Edinburgh and
Keshav from South Glasgow—the duo's rich musical backgrounds and experience
in various projects help shape their sound. They formed the band whilst waiting in
the line at Dalston Superstore London, having met in the city on the circuit as
session musicians.
Despite this being their first official release, they generated significant interest
earlier this year with a demo titled "Television," which unexpectedly racked up over
60,000 streams on Soundcloud due to a mix-up. Kesh mistakenly sent a link to
Duncan without setting private and the music instantly attracted attention.
Their first official single, "Animated Love", launches today 6 th November 2024
and is designed to inspire listeners to embrace life’s highs and lows while striving
for their best selves. The track combines feel-good indie with dancefloor ready
energy.
The name KuleeAngee derives from ‘Kalyan Ji’ a distant relative in Kesh’s family
from India. "Kalyan," meaning "new dawn" in Sanskrit, reflects the duo's ethos of
breaking down barriers of language, race, and sexuality, and living fully in the
present.
Already making a mark in the Glasgow music scene, KuleeAngee recently
performed at the Tenement Trail in Barrowlands 2, for BBC Introducing and
supported Porij at King Tut's. They are gearing up for a UK tour with headline
shows in Edinburgh and Glasgow this December, with more music and
performances on the horizon for early 2025.
