KaiserCartel

The first time I heard KaiserCartel was at the UMS back in 2009. I thought the name was related to some strange joke about gangs and bread, but was a little disappointed to find out it was just a combination of the two singer's last names. I was not disappointed when I heard their music however. Their sound is simple and fun and never feels overworked. And to add to how good they are, they are even better live, which always impresses me. My favorite songs of theirs are Oh No, Season Song, Okay, Favorite Song, and Good Ones. Some of the songs are just so damn catchy that I catch myself bobbing my head along, such as Favorite Song and Season Song (which makes me wish I knew how to whistle).

Courtney Kaiser is super adorable in a retro sort of way. I would love to see her in simple vintage print dresses and old timey country inspired pieces. On the cover of their cd "March Forth" she is wearing an adorable print skirt with a cinch belt which is very close to what I would dress her in.

Here are some inspiration pictures


All designs by the amazing Luella Bartley. I like the shapes and the fun use of pattern.




Check out some videos by this great band!
