"KEYMONO Q&A"

Keymono, formerly known as BrassBastardz, are one of the hot, exciting acts performing at Big Chill Live Presents Four Roses Speak Easy with 44 tomorrow night! Winners of the best Dance / Electronica act at The People’s Music Awards, Keymono transform, combine, and synthesize sounds to create unifying music. We thought we’d delve a little deeper and find out a bit more about the group’s members…

KEYMONO originally formed in 2003 when producer Alvydas

During that year vocalist Daiva Starinskaite joined the band.
Various musicians came and went in the years that followed
but in 2009, when drummer Marijus Aleksa joined forces, the
lineup was finally complete.
“KEYMONO are one of the breakthrough bands from this
year’s awards. Winners of the best dance/electronica act, their
performance and energy at this years awards ceremony was
absolutely amazing and the highlight of the awards for me.
Their music fuses pumping electronic bass and beats with fat
synthesizers and singer Daiva’s powerful vocals, creating a
unique and adventurous yet mature sound that is sure to delight
anyone with an ear for good dance music”
