Straight out of Detroit, Kaleido embodies the no-nonsense hustle of their hometown as they uphold its sterling creative legacy (which, of course, spans rebels ranging from Alice Cooper to Eminem).
Fronted by sweet-as-sugar, tough-as-nails Christina Chriss, the group—rounded out by Joey Fava [drums] Cody Morales [bass] and Drew Johnston [guitar] —seamlessly stir hard rock, punk, metal, alternative and pop into a combustible and catchy signature style, buzzing as one of the most unpredictable, unapologetic, and undeniable musical forces today.
Kaleido has won four Detroit Music Awards, most recently named 2023 ‘Outstanding Heavy Rock Artist/Group’, in addition to impacting Active Rock radio nationwide and earning the praise of LoudWire, Metal Injection, Alt Press, All Access Magazine, Alternative Addiction, and AXS who raved, “Every once in a while a new artist creeps forth from the vast wasteland that has become popular music, bringing along a fresh and inspired style: Meet Kaleido.”
2020 saw them present the Deluxe Edition of their breakthrough album, Experience, which boasted “Die Tryin’.” The latter peaked #22 on the Billboard Rock Indicator Chart, while the album bowed at #11 on the Soundscan “Top New Artists Albums Chart.” At the same time, their music has sound tracked promos for the Pittsburgh Pirates and in Sidewalks TV. Renowned for an unforgettable live show, they’ve toured nationally and internationally, playing with everyone from Aerosmith, Slash, and Kid Rock to Halestorm, Twenty One Pilots, and Rob Zombie, in addition to gracing the bills of Van’s Warped Tour, Kiss Kruise, Shiprocked!, SUMMERFEST and more.
