Garage + Soul + Gospel + 3 Powerhouse Female Vocals = soulful and gritty, intimate and spacious, honest and metaphoric, dynamic and sweaty, dirty and sexy...something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, found at the intersection of Holly Golightly,Dex Romweber,Nina Simone,Al Green and Otis Redding. To quote Little Richard,they will curl up under your big toe. "The Perfect Children" was formed by Cincinnati singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist Kristen Kreft, whose years of experience singing is evident in her booming, soulful pipes. With drummer Adam Shelton providing the primal backbeat, The Perfect Children's songs are achingly raw and arranged sparingly, letting the from-the-gut vocals and melodies soar up front with an almost religious, Gospel ferver (especially when backing vocalists Beth Harris and Nicole Potter-Borngrebe wrap huge harmonies around Kreft's voice.) Recently adding bassist Victor Strunk to the lineup, The Perfect Children has increasingly become one of the more talked about original bands on the Greater Cincinnati club circuit. Working with the tools of American music originators in the fields of Blues, Folk, Soul and R&B, pure passion and pain drips from every note The Perfect Children plays, giving the band an air of authenticity that can't be taught or learned." YDIIYD: Bessie Smith, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Holly Golightly ---Mike Breen, CityBeat The Perfect Children::Spotlight Music – The Northsider "...their energy, catchy vocals and harmonies are infectious. The easiest way describe their sound is a mix between Rockabilly and Soul....though The Perfect Children's lyrics are fun, they cannot be brushed aside as a secondary or superfluous way to engage the sound....diverse, serious about their craft but fun and approachable. You can catch their debut album this summer which was recorded at The Diamonds Building by Brian Olive." --Rae Hoffman "The Perfect Children Appearing at Northside Tavern Saturday 9/7 with Wesley Bright & The Hi-Lites – Cincygroove.com It’s as if word of the sheer intensity witnessed at The Perfect Children’s live show has gone viral In just under 2 years, the band’s sonic stew of gospel, garage, blues, rock and even punk has created a buzz that’s leaving jaws open, rumps shakin’ and feet stompin’. With singer/songwriter Kristen Kreft (Pearlene/J. Dorsey Blues Revival) at the helm, the dynamic duo of Beth Harris(The Hiders/Pearlene/Owner and Operator of The Listing Loon) and Nicole Potter Borngrebe on backing vox, and the rhythm section inertia of Adam Shelton(RX2/Kallip) on drums and freshly-recruited bass player Victor Strunk (Magnolia Mountain/Me Or The Moon), the vocal velocity of this frenetic force will etch an impression that will last. They are something to behold."
