Comprised of a rag-tag group of strangers, Dolan (vocals, guitar) says that Kissing Party met \u201cby fate.\u201d Singer Deidre Sage was recruited because <em>\u201cher name sounded cool,\u201d<\/em> their first guitarist, <em>\u201ca random guy who worked at the bank\u201d<\/em> was recruited because he&nbsp;owned&nbsp;a guitar, and drummer Shane Reid joined reluctantly despite having never heard any of Dolan\u2019s songs. The Denver based five-piece was complete once Joe Hansen replaced the banker on guitar, and Lee Evans added the bass.<br>&nbsp;<br>After their first year in Denver\u2019s DIY scene, the group&#8217;s unique brand of self-described \u201cSlop Pop\u201d quickly cemented them as a local staple. Kissing Party\u2019s first release&nbsp;&#8216;Rediscover Lovers&#8217;<em> <\/em>came in at number three on The Denver Post\u2019s best albums of 2007. After their Sophomore LP<em>&nbsp;<\/em>&#8216;The Hate Album&#8217;&nbsp;received attention from national outlets like Three Imaginary Girls, Filter, and Skope Magazine they signed with local Denver label Hot Congress who released&nbsp;&#8216;Wasters Wall,&#8217;&nbsp;&#8216;Looking Back it was Romantic,&nbsp;but at the Time I was Suffocating&#8217;&nbsp;(which also received a limited tape release from Austin\u2019s Fleeting Youth Records) and Christmas album,&nbsp;&#8216;Winter in the Pub&#8217;.
