Keeley’s ‘Floating Above Everything Else’ was one of the best albums of 2023. With a love of 90s shoegaze and dreampop, augmented by a very narrative writing style, the band – fronted by the charismatic Keeley Moss – delivered a very mature and distinctive work that rose above its collected influences.
With new material already being worked on, 2024 promises to be just as great for Keeley. The band have confirmed a run of dates for March, and if they’re playing anywhere near you, it’s worth putting in the effort to see them!
A full press release and a list of confirmed dates can be found below.

Dreamrock trio KEELEY have confirmed five new dates in England in March with new drummer Andrew Paresi, whose credits include the first three Morrissey albums and work with producer Stephen Street. In fact, the Smiths/Moz connection doesn’t end there as both Paresi and singer/guitarist Keeley Moss are taking part in the Manchester Festival for Andy Rourke fundraiser concert in aid of the Christie cancer charity on May 17/18 at the Star & Garter in Manchester as part of the tribute band ROURKE. The event is hosted by author Julie Hamill.
In the meantime, Moss, Paresi and bassist Lukey Foxtrot will play London, Manchester, Preston and Birmingham in March in continued support of their debut album ‘Floating Above Everything Else’. The mini-tour starts with a support slot for blues-punk mavericks Folk Devils at The 100 Club in London, who are celebrating the 40th Anniversary of their 1984 indie-chart single “Hank Turns Blue”.
On what to expect from the new live shows Moss comments..”Cats who come to the shows can expect nothing less than a Keeleylicious sonic odyssey. The kind of music we make is the kind I’d like to hear at a gig and no other cats seem to be making it right now, so we have to do it ourselves. Blissoutdontmissout!”
