KVN at The Iron Bear
KVN (pronounced Kevin) is an indie-pop, girl-power, supergroup composed of Austin-based artists DOSSEY, Primo the Alien, and Lady Heartwing.
Multi-instrumentalists and producers in their own right, KVN bonded over their mutual adoration of late 90s pop and R&B. Pop/dance music with intricate vocals and lush harmonies are a hallmark of KVN’s sound, with each member’s distinct musical style and vocal tone creating sound that is both captivating and distinct. While each member has, individually, made a name for herself in the Austin pop scene, together these women deliver a live show that is as high-energy as it is hilarious. KVN’s unique chemistry is rooted in friendship, and their silly, on-stage antics create effortless and infectious fun for audiences.
KVN released their first single, “High & Low,” in late 2021 and subsequently sold out their first ever live show. Since then, they have played SXSW, were awarded a grant from the prestigious Sonic Guild, and have been featured by Tunecore, Musixmatch, Audacity, House of Songs and KUTX 98.9. KVN released a steady stream of bangers in the summer and fall of 2023, with even more to come in Spring 2024.
