Kim and The Created
December 17 — Kim and The Created with SadGirl at Teragram Ballroom
As Grimy Goods writer/photographer Wes Marsala so perfectly described Kim and The Created after witnessing their live performance at Alice Cooper’s book event last month, “Kim House embodies the meaning of rock ‘n’ roll. There isn’t one show where this rocker does not give her all, sometimes with flesh and blood. That’s how chaotic and physically demanding her performances are.” Kim’s fascinating performances will undoubtedly leave concert-goers changed people and better for it. Lo-fi surf-woo trio SadGirl kicks off this memorable, raucous night of music! The Paranoyds and Espresso open.
