QLOWSKI
STYLE.
Propulsive rhythms, a modern spin on kiwi-pop and a weird combination of dark punk, noise rock and flower pop perfect for outsiders, weirdos, loners and sweethearts.
BIO.
Consisting of Michele Tellarini (vocals, guitars) and Cecilia Corapi (vocals, keyboard) who are both from Bologna in Italy, plus Irishman Danny Smartt (bass, clarinet) and the USA’s Christian Billard (drums & percussion).
Qlowski translates the restlessness of their thoughts into a full blown musical manifesto where early post-punk nuances are heightened by an extremely poetic and compelling vision encapsulating words, imagery, and noise.
