About Carson:
In 2011, Carson released an EP from which the songs “Conversational” and “Dues” were played on national radio stations. But Kieran soon moved to Switzerland and since 2012 the band has existed with a new line-up in the Swiss music scene; with Jan Kurmann on drums and Elina Willener on bass. In 2013 Carson played several shows all over Switzerland, as a headliner or as a support act for well-known bands (Dog eat Dog, Karma to Burn, Black Rainbows, Elder) and thus built a reputation in the Swiss stoner rock scene. The European tour in autumn 2014, during which Carson supported the American band Karma to Burn, helped the trio to perfect their sound and their live shows. At the end of 2014 and in 2015 the band played several concerts and festivals throughout Switzerland (e.g Up in Smoke Festival, Openair am Bielersee), with a detour to Italy and Austria (Stonerhead let’s groove your brains 2 nights Festival in Salzburg) and prepared for the album production in summer 2016. At the beginning of 2017, Kieran had to return to New Zealand for professional reasons. Carson has been reunited in Switzerland since August 2020 and is now ready with new songs for her upcoming album ‘The Willful Pursuit Of Ignorance’.
