Victor Smith – WEFT 90.1 – Champaign, IL
BIO
First Date Kiss (known as FDK) are an American indie rock band based in Peoria, IL. The founding members are Andy Martinez (lead vocals, guitar) and Asher Feeman (drums) who met in 2021 and began performing as an acoustic duo. In the summer of 2022, the duo expanded their lineup by adding lead guitarist Nate Kieser, and in 2023, bassist Jesse Nagel. In December of 2022, the band released their first single “Aren’t I Yours” on American streaming platforms. FDK continues to thrill audiences in the US and garners new fans at every live show in part to Martinez’ unique & animated stage performances. In 2024, FDK plans to expand their US tour coverage and release their first full-length EP.
