Kyle and Vinnie of Phantoms are an unclassifiable Los Angeles based duo who experiment with dark, rhythm-heavy grooves in their tracks.
Vinnie traces his musical roots back to growing up and playing drums along to artists such as Stevie Wonder and James Brown, while Kyle can recognize his beginnings as a bassist immersed in the world of deep house and techno. Their friendship started when the two were young actors on Disney and later on eventually decided to join forces and utilize their eclectic music tastes to create Phantoms, thus leaving the acting world behind. The two over time have seemingly carved out their own stylings of electronic music and while much of it is dark and semi-serious, Vinnie and Kyle are anything but and can often be seen pelvic thrusting in unison on stage.
Phantoms debut self-titled EP was released under OWSLA's The Nest and the duo is currently in the studio working on a full length album.
~~~~~~~~
Phantoms, comprised of Los Angeles-based natives Kyle Kaplan and Vinnie Pergola, are a dance act that does exactly that. Often tough to box in... the boys' style lends itself to many elements of electronic and pop music; while still managing to always incorporate distinct synths and drum samples that have become synonymous with their "genre" of alternative electronic. Stemming from deep-seated roots in music and entertainment backgrounds, K&V put their entire beings into the project. They keep everyone continually dancing with an impressive live set of drum pads, synthesizers and midi controllers, while also keeping audiences engaged through their own style of humor on social media platforms. A full-time job for the band. Their fun and downright captivating personalities shine through all aspects of Phantoms.
After releasing their first EP in 2015 to massive press like Billboard and Entertainment Weekly, the duo has been remixing some of their favorite songs of the year and playing shows and touring with the likes of Big Wild, Com Truise, Kiesza and more.
