After a few singles and an EP on some independent labels, the group signed in 2004 with Louisville Records , a Berlin indie label , and has released so far three full-length albums and various singles .
(Currently the band is unsigned after Louisville Records announced bankrupt in March 2010.)
Live shows have always been an important part of the band’s activity, both as opening act (Kissogram have opened gigs for Peaches, Franz Ferdinand and other artists) and as main act.
In 2008, drummer Joe Dilworth joined the band.
Kissogram’s music has been labelled through years in many ways , and it’s difficult to exactly insert it in a single genre because their sound influences come from many different styles, but we could mainly describe it as a synth pop / electro rock with a markedly vintage ‘80s touch.

Lucy
Kissogram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sunshine's in the dirt
Coke and cough, no home, no fun
The world is suddenly blurred
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Lose, lose, don't lose your mind
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Working for commercials
That's not really what you need
Overdressed in white trash
And now twenty homes to sleep
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Lose, lose, don't lose your mind
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Lose, lose, don't lose your time
Waking up nowhere
Nobody's hands upon your legs
Whispering into no one's ears
Not in the mood for sex
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Lose, lose, don't lose your mind
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Lose, lose, don't lose your time
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Lose, lose, don't lose your mind
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Lose, lose, don't lose your time
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Lose, lose, don't lose your mind
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy
Lose, lose, don't lose your time
The song "Lucy" by Kissogram is a melancholic reflection on a mundane and unfulfilling life. The opening lines describe a "boring morning" where the singer's friends have left, and they are left alone with their thoughts. They turn to drugs, using coke to escape their reality. The world around them becomes "suddenly blurred". It seems as though the singer is stuck in a dead-end job, working for commercials, something that is "not really what you need". They describe themselves as "overdressed in white trash" and having to sleep in twenty different homes, suggesting a transitory lifestyle with no real sense of stability.
The chorus of the song repeatedly urges Lucy not to lose her mind or her time. It seems as though she is in a state of limbo, unable to move forward or find any kind of purpose or fulfillment in her life. The lyrics suggest a sense of disconnection and loneliness, with the singer waking up "nowhere" with nobody around. The final lines suggest that Lucy may not even be in the mood for sex, highlighting a deeper sense of apathy and detachment.
Overall, "Lucy" is a poignant and introspective song that reflects on the struggles of living a life that feels empty and unfulfilling. It speaks to the universal experience of feeling lost and disconnected, searching for something more but not knowing where to find it.
