Much like the Morrissey single "November Spawned a Monster," the band Kelpie is a result of the bleak November of 2002. In the song Moz sings, "What can make good all the bad that's been done?" Taking this to heart, drummer John Momberg, vocalist/guitarist Casey Burge, bassist Nate Harold, and keyboardist/guitarist Josh Atkinson, used the untimely disintegration of their long term musical projects to form the monster known as Kelpie. As a collective, the four-piece strives to create something entirely new and unlike their previous musical endeavors. They have completed five national tours and multiple local and regional shows. Kelpie recorded their second full-length this past winter with Matt Talbot (formerly of HUM), at his studio, Great Western Record Recorders in Champaign, IL. Recently signed with a new label, Birthday Party Records, Kelpie hopes to move forward with their refreshing, new sound, and bring it to a wider audience. Drawing on influences ranging from the Beatles, The Beach Boys, Converge, Hum, and Elvis Costello, Kelpie has been described as lounge-rock, a mathy singer/ songwriter project, progressive pop, "fancylad meandermusik," and everything in-between.
