Description

*Channeling Senator Joseph McCarthy*
I have here, a list of 205 or 57 or 81 known Communists. And I can say that Communist Kayte is NOT on that list. Whoa! That was weird. Ok, I’m back now, although I feel a little tipsy after that. Old Tail-Gunner Joe loved his whiskey. But getting back to Communist Kayte, I wonder where they got their name from. Author (and I use that term loosely) Jerome Corsi called Katie Couric “Little Katie Communist.” But you won’t see Communist Kayte debouch on stage waving red flags around. What you’ll get is a band whose goal is to bring melodic pop punk back. That sound has waned a little bit since the 90s and early 2000s – thanks a lot, emo. Communist Kayte respects the past and will be one the crest of the second wave, whenever it comes. Tonight is a trio of EP releases from this band, And Then There Was Zax and Stickup Kid. – Beau Dowling sanjose.com
