A-Sides Presents: AYLA / Official Claire / illicit kitten
About This Event
AYLA, Official Claire and illicit kitten share a bill at Pianos, presenting three distinct approaches to rock and pop songwriting. AYLA, who first reached wider attention on a national singing competition and spent college on a basketball scholarship, favors clear vocal delivery and tight song structures. Official Claire pairs Arisa Inamoto’s cello with Yuki Mihara’s piano in a chamber-like, classically trained approach, while illicit kitten offers rehearsal-tight rock/pop arrangements that prioritize structure and pace.
