STUNTDRIVER Los Angeles STUNTDRIVER is an LA performance-driven genre-bending rock spectacle with its “Diva” Knievel white racecar suits, gold helmets, painted faces, Janet Jackson-esque choreography, and dark-synth laced heavy electrorock that makes everyone feel like they’re on the same punk rock team. The bold undertaking is spearheaded by campy, fierce performance artist/music-maker Kym Priess and playfully examines the age-old battle of Good vs. Evil. The project was originally conceived as a wildly creative/immersive multi-media show in LA consisting of actors, band and Yellow Brick Road-like set. After, SD honed into sleek concert venue band shows playing the likes of Echo Park Rising and local residencies and was in route to play SXSW then something called Covid happened. Livestreams have been Priess solo, but not without theatrics, surprise guests and plans for full band online shows (Because hey that’s where we’re at.) STUNTDRIVER’s visceral, whimsically absurd video for their new-wave/post-rock track “Plastic Faces” premiered on August 4 by New Noise Magazine and just so happens to be about mask, identity and the reformation of society. It was made alone by Priess in a garage. The full concept album called “SAGA” will (hopefully!) blast out early 2021, co-produced by John Avila (OingoBoingo) & Anton Söder and mastered by Grammy-winner Gavin Lurssen. Think Rocky Horror Picture Show meets Peaches & early Karen O.
