ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS OF THE 2010S IS NYC'S PSYCHEDELIC HARDCORE MUTANTS KALEIDOSCOPE. THIS BAND GREW OUT OF THE REMNANTS OF THE BAND DEFORMITY, WITH VOCALIST/GUITARIST SHIVA ADDANKI ALSO INVOLVED IN BLACK BOOT AND IVY. SCRAPPY EXPERIMENTAL EARLY TAPES ULTIMATELY LED TO THE FORMATION OF A FORMIDABLE LIVE FORCE IN POWER-TRIO CONFIGURATION THAT TOURED PRIMARILY 2017-2019. AT LEAST SINCE LATE 2020 AND THE RELEASE OF THE 'DECOLONIZATION' 7", IT SEEMS THAT THINGS HAVE BEEN AT A RELATIVE STANDSTILL FOR THIS BAND, WITH ALL THREE MEMBERS HIGHLY ACTIVE IN TOWER 7 UNTIL ITS RECENT RETIREMENT.
KALEIDOSCOPE IS CLOSELY LINKED WITH THE D4MT LABEL WHICH THE MEMBERS RUN. VISUAL PRESENTATION OF EACH D4MT RELEASE IS CONSISTENTLY COHESIVE AND DISTINCTIVE.
