KATA is a conceptual collective of dark beautiful sounds with deep attention to dynamics and mood, and a contrarian love for those subtleties and silence between the chaos and melody, which is too often left forgotten. A culmination of darkness and light and a weight so thick and ominous, yet heightened by abstracts of beauty that you lose yourself in the journey. KATA’s sound isn’t the only thing goliath about them, they’ve also had half of San Diego in the band—Gabe Serbian from the Locust and Le Butcherettes, members of ILYA, Goodbye Blue Monday, Hostile Combover, Skydiver, The Long and Short of It have all made collective appearances or act as full time members, as well as ex-Physics mastermind Jason Soares doing live visuals. With two live drummers and a full string section, KATA spares no expense on live performance, they will likely be one of the most beautifully encapsulating live performances you will ever experience. With their own studio and years of experience behind the wheel, KATA has been able to capture that live experience and even build upon it with their recordings.
