Psychedelic pop rock band KIT is headlining the 40 Watt Club this week alongside supporting acts Meghan Dowlen and Nicholas Mallis and the Borealis. Dowlen is an Atlanta-based musician known for her big stage presence and powerhouse performances inspired by dance pop and new wave. Mallis’ weirdo pop performances are equally grand, combining elements of new wave, post-punk, disco and surf rock with a healthy dose of absurdity. This show also acts as a single release celebration for Mallis’ “The Contract,” a post-punky number that has a bit of a heavier sound than the band’s other music, written from the point of view of a crooked salesperson. The single, which was recorded this past April, precedes an album that the band plans to finish up this summer.
