Karma is a bitch. When lifelong actors and theater majors Rain Scott-Catoire and Sydni Myers suddenly found themselves ditching their acting careers and writing songs together in the practice rooms on campus, they had no idea how fervently music would take a hold of their lives in an exhilarating turn of events. The fusion of Rain’s classical piano background mixed with the two’s theatrical prowess and shared love of rock music created what the band deems “piano-rock”—not unlike Ben Folds, Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor, Billy Joel, or Queen. When these two vocalists collided with a piano to create the wonderfully strange concoction of piano-rock that is Karma and the Killjoys, it was nothing short of nirvana.
