Fresh off the glittering high of their last single 'Keep Shinin’ On', glam-rock revivalists Tony & The Kiki are back, and they’re not here to play games. Their latest track 'get Out or get On' is a fiery, funked-up ultimatum that blends vintage rock swagger with slinky surf riffs, pulsing synths, and raw sexual energy. Equal parts sultry and defiant, the song is a no-nonsense call to action for anyone caught in the dance of mixed signals and delayed gratification.
So with the new single available now, we dive into their origins to talk glam, grit, and queer power, and explore what’s next for the genre-blurring powerhouse that is Tony & The Kiki.
