- The evolution in the band’s music can be heard in the new album
Hailing Yorkshire, England, Kate traveled the world while performing before moving to Austin and starting neo-soul band KP and the Boom Boom
“My aim and mission, as far as music goes, is to really give back in a positive, kinda healing way” – Kate Priestley
Nick graduated from UT and was one of the founding members of KP and the Boom Boom.
“I don’t think we had a collective group idea about what we wanted the band to be. That took a lot of exploring and a lot of working together to figure that one out.” – Nick Wong
