Von Haze, is the realization of creative duo Travis Caine and Katherine Kin. The two met one hot night in Virginia while at university almost ten years ago. They played music in many forms together mostly for themselves before deciding to start Von Haze and share their twisted love ballads. The pair creates music that is defined by a belief that raw energy and sincere emotion – between the notes – are the real measure of power in music. Sounds fluctuate from gentle, plaintive melodies and melancholic narratives to southern psychedelic pop replete with hypnotic beats and searing guitar feedback, always sounding more 1974 than 1984.
