Keli Holiday aka Adam Hyde knows no musical boundaries. 

If you’ve been to a festival anywhere in the world in the last few years there’s a high chance you’ve seen Adam play high energy, dance floor fillers as 1/2 of Peking Duk, but this episode isn’t about the Duk. 

In 2020 after arriving home from an extensive US tour and going through a break-up, Adam picked up the guitar and began writing what was to become a new project, ‘Keli Holiday’. Inspired by the likes of LCD soundsystem, Joy Divison and New Order, Keli Holiday explores a softer sentimental side to Adams songwriting with that touch of high energy we know all too well. 

So far Adam has played Keli Holiday shows in LA, NY, London and Australia. We caught up with him in Sydney while touring his new album.  This episode was recorded live above the band room, there’s a real vibe to it, feels like you’re right there with us! 

Stream his new album ‘KELI’ now!
