With lush melodic soundscapes with energetic grooves and red-light moods; koivu is quickly establishing themselves as one of the premier alt-rock bands in Atlanta.Band/artist history
koivu can be described as lush melodic soundscapes with energetic grooves and red-light moods. koivu is quickly establishing themselves as one of the premier alt-rock bands in the Atlanta area. Formed in the late summer of 1997, this Atlanta based band is comprised of Andrew Housley (vocals), Jim Buchheit (guitar), Jennifer Hicks (bass) and Frank Perisino (drums), all of whom have been playing extensively in the Atlanta/Southeast region for the past eight years.
Characters from the worlds seedy-side lurk in the lyrics and wade through the waves of crackling guitar and funk-laden beats. The continuously evolving sound of the band draws together a variety of styles from a broad range of influences: the tight rhythms of Radiohead, the emotionally drenched vocals of Coldplay and the raw, musical power of the Smashing Pumpkins. koivu has a tightly polished sound, with over three hours of original music.
In December of 2003, after a brief sabbatical and exploration into various side projects, koivu made their triumphant return to the Atlanta scene by head lining Plush Magazine’s Naughty Xmas Ball at the Cotton Club.Have you performed in front of an audience?We are always playing in Atlanta and surrounding area of Athens.

a whats up. I have checked out your music it is great. Maybe we can hook up for colabos. Hit me up. My name is Breezy Bree. I live in Cornelia, GA so holla at me. I am currently looking for a record label. So check out my new song called All The Rhymes in my head. And if you can rap faster then me on this song Holla at me i want to hear you. Peace
Pretty cool song. I think dirtier guitar's would suit you guys more. Just my opinion but the distortion sounds a little to modern/perfect maybe. You know what I'm saying (hopefully your not one of the guitar player's, lol) Are you using solid state amps? Singing is perfect though. Check out a song by us, Chumley.
