Recorded by Paul Roessler (Screamers, DC3, 45 Grave, Twisted Roots) at his Kitten Robot Studios in Los Angeles, Kim Theory are a mix of indie rock music with riot girrrrl and pop punk influences. They are Audrey Cymone (vocals), Lula Seifert (guitar), Lucy Fraser (bass) and Zoey Su (drums.) And their name? It’s a reference to musicians/heroes Kim Gordon, Kim Shattuck and Kim Deal.

Kim Theory has made a name for themselves with fans as part of the indie LA music scene over the last 18 months performing at all-ages venues and homegrown house parties. They are also being recognized by both casual and hardcore fans in traditional media in mainstream print magazines including Los Angeles Magazine, CBS News Los Angeles, Vogue and Town & Country as well as indie rock outlets like The Big Takeover, Beatique, KSPC.com, In Spite Magazine, Magnet and many more.

This combination of new and old media attention connected them to first-generation riot grrrl band Bratmobile in 2025 who reposted their cover of “Gimme Brains” to their Instagram page and shortly afterward invited the girls to come on stage at in Los Angeles to sing on the tune in front of the fans at a sold-out show. In 2026, Bratmobile asked Kim Theory to officially open their upcoming LA show. This once-in-a-lifetime experience for the girls is now a repeat event!

Active on social media, the girls of Kim Theory love playing music and getting to watch other bands play. Check out the band’s official music video for the song “He Said, She Said” from 2025’s Bitch Scene here.
