KASMs

London, UK
2007 Kasms are Rachel-Mary Callaghan, Gemma Fleet, Scott R Walker and Rory Brattwell, they make make melancholic yet frantic alt-punk and the singer has a habit of knocking over audience members and doing summersaults, how sweet. KASMs met in October 2007 when the four band members got into a drunken row at a cash point in Dalston, it didn't quite come to fisticuffs and details are vague and vary from person to person but it involved a bendy bus, a kebab and a pigeon.
They then randomly bumped into each other a week later at a Get Hustle show and put our differences aside.
