Modernism à la Kellygirls

In a world where less is more, Kelly and the Kellygirls front man R Kelly Clipperton proves just how much better more can be.

As a man, he’s stunning. As a musician, he’s gifted. And as a performer he’s mesmerizing.

Toronto is well acquainted with this indie stud and thanks to the group’s recent Post-Modern Tour de Force tour, Vancouver got a taste of him during last year’s Pride festivities as well.

The Kellygirls’ latest album, Modernism, mixes Latin flair with gay panache. It’s one of those indie albums that can stay in your iPod for months and doesn’t get old.
