Kysha and Che Charles |
Music TV? Pop online
TOP of the Pops is dead, The Chart Show extinct and Popworld’s gone AWOL.
Luckily, two Hampstead sisters have stepped up with their own online music show to replace the gap left by the death of terrestrial music television.
Kysha and Che Charles, former pupils of Haverstock, Acland Burghley and Parliament Hill Schools, have set up www.musiomusictv.com – an irreverent music programme featuring some of the best emerging and established acts on the indie music scene.
The sisters have combined their talents – Che, as a TV producer and Kysha as former Ebony Bones backing singer and celebrity stylist to the likes of Bruce Forsythe and Denise Van Outen – to create the show, which is fast becoming a cult hit.
Kysha, who has more recently sung backing for The Noisettes, makes the most of her music contacts, while Che, who has worked on This Life, Crimewatch and Property Ladder, then puts her TV production skills to good use.
“We wanted a magazine format and lots of interviews and inserts so the viewers got a little taste of everything,” said Che. “The response has been amazing. The idea came around due to the death of music TV – all the mainstream broadcasters were phasing them out. Online was the new platform for music programming. We try and make the questions quite quirky, to get a reaction from bands and to get them to come across in a way people aren’t used to seeing.”
The show, which comes out on the 25th of each month, has already attracted exclusive interviews with The Black Lips, Pete Doherty, Florence and the Machine and Datarock.
Kysha added: “We’ve always been into indie and all the bands I’ve been in have an indie edge.
“We did a pilot show and it was all friends of mine. Three shows along and PRs were trying to get their bands on the show.
“First it was unsigned bands then emerging artists and now established acts.”
The girls have started filming The Vintage Sessions, acoustic gigs held in Chalk Farm Road vintage store Episode, and have also set up a new night, 7-11, at The Macbeth in Hoxton for new and established artists. The first night is on Sep |
