Lonely Little Kitsch

“…just another future song, lonely little kitsch.” – David Bowie “Diamond Dogs”

Lonely Little Kitsch is an alt-rock band from Niagara, Canada formed by Kristen Goetz and Nolan Jodes as a project without boundaries or expectations. As lifelong music fans and self-described “music nerds,” they wanted to create their own brand of alternative music that wasn’t defined by current trends or labels. The result is 100% unabashed, authentic LLK – no trying to fit into a specific genre or sound.

The release of their debut single, “The New Scene” caught an unexpected buzz for the duo, finding placement on CBC Radio across Canada, FM radio including 102.1 The Edge, and even a video feature for NHL games on Sportsnet. Since that first release, LLK’s subsequent singles have seen radio airplay throughout North America and beyond, TV features, and write-ups on notable music outlets. The band, including bassist Dave Haley and drummer Jay Shrubsall, is currently finishing their first album, due for release in 2026.

Aside from Lonely Little Kitsch, Kris and Nolan run the music site From the Strait, as well as music PR and marketing through FTS PR. They also run their own indie record label, Swear Word Records.
