Savage guitar tones meet groovy riffs, cerebral yet still cool as heck. The Kite Machine channels the raw energy of rock, funk and prog to create a revolution of movement with a prowess on the live stage that has to be seen to be believed.

From their anthemic, progressive Double Single ‘5656/IP’, to their more kinetic output ‘Charlotte', ‘Your Touch’ and ‘Sinister Sound’, The Kite Machine swaggers effortlessly into an exciting new era of rock and roll, filled to the brim with decadent synths, supercharged guitars and a melodic sensibility usually reserved for glistening pop music.

Formed in Geelong, Victoria in the midst of its famously punk and psych-rock heavy scene, TKM stood apart from their contemporaries, intent to push the limits of their signature groovy, progressive rock style. This led to a slew of successful releases (Lunatics - #1 Triple J ‘Unearthed’ charts, Charlotte and Sinister Sound - both hitting 1 million streams on Spotify in 2022), multiple appearances at iconic festivals such as Queenscliff Music Festival, and East Coast tours with sold out shows.

This rise to indie scene cult status culminated in their self titled debut album released in 2019. They also scored plays on major sports broadcasts such as the NFL, Big Bash Cricket, F1 GrandPrix and Bathurst.

In 2021 Levi Anderson, Kane Sheriff & Liam Brennan were joined by longtime collaborator Cam Jerabek on keys, further pushing the envelope of their obsessively crafted, unique take on rock music.
