"WBEZ reviews Perfect Kiss "Alarms EP""

Having started out of the necessity to party, the Pilsen-based synth pop group Perfect Kiss have been moving the underground dance floors for some years and releasing rough homemade mixes of their songs. This year, the band decided to take things more seriously, and booked time in a professional studio. The result is their debut release Alarms EP - a collection of irresistibly danceable pop songs. - WBEZ

"Do312 Presents: Da Top 41"

These kids have hoped to keep the New-Wave Revivalism going in this new decade and have done so. Whether or not 2012 is the year of bad hairdos and over used synths, we just don’t know… However we do expect more great music from this Chicago quartet. - Do312

"Perfect Kiss"

Chicago’s Perfect Kiss formed when Leo Saucedo and Alfonso Mayen met through the South Side’s party circuit and quickly bonded over a mutual love for classic new wave. Steeped in the dark aesthetics of Depeche Mode and New Order, the band plays dance-driven pop coated with indulgent, sentimental vocals and a shiny synth veneer. Although Factory Records’ doors closed long ago, Perfect Kiss remain purveyors of the legendary label’s post-punk, pre-alternative sound.

"NCMF Artist Spotlight - Perfect Kiss"

Labor Day Weekend marks the end of summer and what better way to end the summer but with three days of music in Union Park, Chicago. North Coast Music Fest returns for it’s second year to give summer its send off.
The main draw for any festival is of course the headliners but lets not forget the those artists that are just trying to stake out their own piece of real estate in the overcrowded world of the music scene.

Perfect Kiss, home grown here in Chicago, has had gigs at The Metro, Empty Bottle, Lincoln Hall and House of Blues. Even though they have gained a larger fan base by playing some of Chicago’s premier live music spots, they are mostly known for playing in Chicago’s underground party scene.

Can’t tell if this tune is New Wave streaking with Electronica or Electronica streaking with New Wave. Either way, it will get you grooving! - Outside The Dial


"Listen - New Track From Perfect Kiss"

I’ve been following the Perfect Kiss crew on the local scene for awhile now. They are scrappy, fun and always put on a solid live show. But the one thing that they were lacking was polished material on the internets. Well, that has finally changed. The guys hit the studio and emerged with a electronically dipped, New Wave revivalist dance track.

Listen to the new track, “There’s No Time To Waste” HERE.

Perfect Kiss plays at this weekends North Coast Music Festival on the Magic Hat local stage at 6:15. Check it out.

They also play an unofficial North Coast after party at Cobra Lounge tonight with fellow excellent Chicago bands Valis and Black Light Saints. Legit.

Anyone else going to North Coast this weekend? - Red Eye

Bio

Captivating new wave revivalist band Perfect Kiss blend smoldering sensuality with electric dance beats to create a sound not heard since The Cure, Depeche Mode and other 80s heavy-hitters. Their cutting edge style instantly allowed them to share the stage with national names such as Kirby Kaiser, Paul Van Dyk, Green Velvet, Major Lazer and White Mystery. Less than a year after their formation the group was headlining North Coast Music Festival and multiple Lollapalooza after parties including the Hard Rock Hotels highly publicized event. Recently selected as one of the Top Bands in Chicago by Do312, Perfect Kiss has established themselves as one of the most respected artists in the scene.

Currently in the studio creating exciting new material for the waiting ears, Perfect Kiss will be releasing their first professional EP in the Spring of 2012. Each new track will preserve their distinctly recognizable sound yet reflect their ever-evolving talent that will further solidify their place in Chicago's scene and begin their journey to national rise.
