They have played in London (Febuary and September), Liverpool, Lancashire, Antwerpen, Paradiso (Amsterdam), Vera (Groningen) and Rotown (Rotterdam). Appie Kim have received praising reviews so far: “[Natasha’s] voice is strong and emotive and kept the crowd gripped to the point I suddenly realised I was entirely engrossed in the songs and performance.

Not only this but the quote by the drummer to introduce one of the tracks is reason alone to go see them if they ever come and play here again.” – Forty Shades of Noise “Their tunes are infectious and glorious and ever-so-slightly shambling, like some fantastic collision between C86 and a Phil Spector girl band. […] If this band were from London or Brighton or New York they would be on the cover of magazines.” – Manchester Music “Appie Kim play a set that is as good as anything I have heard this year. […] It’s fragile, sharp, intensely dreamy music with an incredibly vicious edge that stops anything getting sentimental.” – Incendiary Magazine The debut album, (=AOK), has been recorded between March and September 2007. The CD-release on October 29th 2007 is provided by Willie Anderson Recordings & Konkurrent. They have recorded a video for Some Prefer Black & Some Prefer Blue, too.
