Curtain Call: The group Sigh Kicks performs their final show as a band on Jan. 21 at Churchill’s Pub. The group, comprised of former and current Miami Dade College students, won over fans for the past two years with its energetic live performances. For more about the band, read the story on page 12.
OMAR NEGRIN \\ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Jan. 21, a small crowd <\/span>l<\/span>ined up in front of the shabby but beloved stage at Churchill\u2019s Pub in anticipation of local electronic indie rock band Sigh Kicks\u2019 final show. It was the last time Churchill\u2019s\u2014or any venue \u2014would be soaked in their signature pink and blue neon lights. <\/span><\/p>\n

Comprised of four goofy but amiable guys from Kendall, the Sigh Kicks<\/span>\u2014<\/span>singer and guitarist Kris Alvarez, guitarist\/synth player Sebastian \u201cSebs\u201d Hidalgo, bassist Jean \u201cDoodles\u201d Dominguez and drummer Matthew \u201cCougar\u201d Borroto\u2014have performed together for the past two years, building a loyal fanbase thanks to their energetic live shows. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The band\u2019s first and only EP, <\/span>Nightsky, <\/span><\/i>was released on Jan. 20 as the band\u2019s bittersweet going-away present. In December of 2016, they posted an emotional letter to their fans on their Facebook page:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLife sometimes does what it does and, unfortunately, one has to make decisions one would rather not make. It is with that, that we must announce that Sigh Kicks will be no more,\u201d the band wrote. <\/span><\/p>\n

The night opened up with the band\u2019s song \u201cJapanese Baseball\u201d enveloping the crowd in a fusion of wavy guitar riffs and vocals that float over synth sounds, drums and tambourines. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the kind of feel-good music that feels stolen straight from the Radio Mirror Park station in <\/span>Grand Theft Auto V<\/span><\/i>, but with a unique Miami vibe. <\/span><\/p>\n

So why did the band break up? The best explanation is that the group blew up too quickly. Their popularity and success caught up with them. Dominguez announced he\u2019d be leaving the band in September of 2016 and then Hidalgo announced he would be leaving shortly after. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo me Sigh Kicks isn\u2019t Sigh Kicks without [Sebs]. I could have continued on with Cougar. It could be done,\u201d Alvarez said. \u201cBut from a writing perspective, it could be done. Chemistry perspective? It just wouldn’t be the same band. It loses its thing, and I didn\u2019t want to do that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sigh Kicks originally started with Alvarez and Hidalgo, who were involved in the band scene since their middle school days, where they started a little \u201crinky dink\u201d band called Below Average after meeting in an after-school guitar class. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe literally only played one song, and it was a Strokes cover and that\u2019s it,\u201d Alvarez said. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alvarez and Hidalgo have come a long way from playing Strokes covers in middle school. After reconnecting in a music business class at Kendall Campus, they formed their second band together called the Antics, which had a three-year run that ended in early 2014. <\/span><\/p>\n

The band had lukewarm success, but neither Alvarez nor Hidalgo have regrets about it because the Sigh Kicks were born from the ashes of the Antics. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf that band hadn\u2019t happened I don\u2019t think Sigh Kicks would have had, even if it was short lived, \u00a0the level of success that it did\u2026We made a lot of mistakes with that band,\u201d Alvarez said. \u201cSo from that we decided that \u2018okay\u2019 whatever we did with that, we\u2019re not doing it again.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The duo then added Dominguez on bass and he brought in Borroto as the drummer. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of the six songs they wrote that summer, only a couple survived. One of them being \u201cDial Tone,\u201d which was the first song the group released in September of 2014, and the song the group ended their final show with. <\/span><\/p>\n

OMAR NEGRIN \\ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sigh Kicks officially started in November of \u00a02014 when the band played their first show at a house party for Alvarez\u2019s 24th birthday. <\/span><\/p>\n

From there, Sigh Kicks took off, opening for bands like Hundred Waters, Sails, Afrobeta and Million Young and gaining a following on platforms like SoundCloud. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor three years I was so used to people walking out on our shows [with Antics]. Now we play a show and it\u2019s like people hang out, people vibe, people dance, they have a good time. They come up to us afterward,\u201d \u00a0Alvarez said. <\/span><\/p>\n

The guys all plan to stay active in the music scene with their own projects. <\/span><\/p>\n

Alvarez and Hidalgo are musicians in the local act Million Young, and plan to stay involved with that band for the foreseeable future. Alvarez also plans to pursue some solo work while Hidalgo finishes up an online music production degree from the Berklee College of Music. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not just going to hideaway and that\u2019s it \u2026we\u2019re both still going to be active either in this community or whatever community life takes us,\u201d Hidalgo said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dominguez hopes to focus on his work in another local band, Salas, and Borroto is also finishing up an online degree at MDC with plans to transfer to the University of Florida. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting it to end this soon,\u201d Borroto said. \u201cI don\u2019t regret any of it. It was a fun ride. I enjoyed every bit of it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
