ABOUT


KiLNE is a contemporary nu-marching band made up of equal parts brass and drums, with a mission to spread positivity and inclusiveness through the joy of electronic music. It was formed in Stoke-on-Trent in 2023 by professional musicians Danny Shaw and Ben Oakes.

After getting a huge reaction to the video which was released a few weeks ago, KiLNE released their debut single, “(It Goes Like) Nanana”, a cover of the Peggy Gou instant classic, on 27th June 2024 to coincide with their appearance at Glastonbury Music Festival, which was their second ever live performance.

As musicians, KiLNE represents a rare opportunity to define a genre. We've created a band that is inherently inclusive, pulling from various musical styles, platforming players from differing personal and musical backgrounds, with the objective to engage with a broad audience. It is a deep privilege for us to steer this exciting project, and to present our first release as KiLNE- '(It Goes Like) Nanana.'
