The Klittens are five musicians on a mission, untrained but unbothered. A band for those who have a knack for happy songs and sad sentiments. Their music is a surprising mix of indie-fuzz and DIY. The result: a repertoire that reaches from dark post-punk to danceable songs about grandma’s.
What initially started as a platform and creative outlet for political ideas, ended up in a group of friends that is growing into a professional band. An adventure that each of the members had always dreamed of, but never dared to make happen.
The girls are slowly crawling out of the Amsterdam underground scene: they toured the UK with York’s indie rock band Bull, supported SASAMI and Tacocat, and played shows with Dutch bands such as Personal Trainer, Pip Blom and global charming.
The band released their first three singles in 2020 which got a lot of recognition, despite the pandemic and limited possibilities. They kicked off with ‘Manic Dixi Dream Girl’ (self-released), followed by ‘Bleeding Gums’ (Permanent Creeps, UK) and ‘Liebe Resi’ (Geertruida, NL).
In April 2022 The Klittens have released their debut EP ‘Citrus’ (digital + vinyl) which included singles ‘Canned Air’, ‘Herkenbosch’, ‘Pristine Blue’ and ‘Benson’.
This new song “Atlas” is written and performed by The Klittens – Yaël Dekker, Katja Kahana, Michelle Geraerts, Winnie Conradi and Laurie Zantinge. Synthesizer by Gabriel de Oliveira.
