Biography:

Katye Kellye and The Interruption emerged from the vibrant musical landscape of Asbury Park, New Jersey, blending decades of rock history into a fresh, genre-defying sound. Fronted by Katye Kellye—a sharp, emotionally resonant songwriter with punk roots—the band channels influences ranging from The Beatles and The Ramones to Carole King and 60s girl groups. After a long hiatus following her time with the punk band Toxic Shox, Katye returned to music in 2019 with renewed purpose, releasing Vanity Project, her first EP in over 35 years. The Interruption began as a studio collaboration with seasoned musicians but evolved into a dynamic live band featuring emerging artists who bring fresh energy to her vision.

Their music is a tapestry of rock, punk, pop, ska, folk, and even Celtic threads, stitched together with wit, grit, and emotional intelligence. 

Katye’s lyrics are unapologetically pointed—funny, raw, and deeply relatable—offering commentary on personal and societal contradictions with clarity and bite. Whether confronting heartbreak, hypocrisy, or hope, the band’s songs resonate with listeners who crave authenticity and edge. 

With fast tempos, electric arrangements, and a Jersey Shore attitude, Katye Kellye and The Interruption aren’t just revisiting rock history—they’re rewriting it with heart and humor.

Since 2019, the band has released another 3 full albums (Late Bloomer, 2020 Sophomore Slump, 2021 & Sparkle! 2023), and so far about 40 serial singles.  

Although KK&I has concentrated on recording for the past couple of years, they plan to play more live gigs in 2025 and beyond.
