Press
- Aaron Kyle, the former lead singer of Le Switch, rocked out with a legion of string instruments on the bare bones Jerry's Stage that utilized the baking hot sun as a spotlight. Kyle easily pulls at your heartstrings using his warm voice with a rough edge reminiscent of early Elvis Presley recordings. Playing mostly tracks from the recently released EP Darkness Hides, this band drips Americana featuring intensely personal lyrics and an earnest fiddle that seems to have a voice of its own.
- BuzzChips
Trading in the muscle of a rock band, Aaron Kyle steps away from fronting California indie darlings, Le Switch, for a singer/songwriter’s
tenderness on his solo debut, Darkness Hides. Tender, yes, but in no way weak - Kyle’s songwriting (now under the moniker Geronimo Getty) is sharp and expressive with a conviction befitting the Americana roots he aspires to. Kyle’s rock background peaks through often enough, with some great Mike Campbell-esque electric guitar accents, but it’s largely a traditionalist affair. Within that tradition though, Kyle entirely eschews one pillar of Americana for another, entirely forsaking characters and story songs for personal introspections. And these are as earnest as they come on standouts like the outlaw-country brooding of the title track and the lovelorn acoustics of “Dear Lover.” With a weary baritone smacking of Townes Van Zandt (and a touch of nasal Jonathan Richman), Kyle’s voice seems genetically engineered to plead over a whining fiddle ballad or achingly falter over a country lover’s lament. And like Van Zandt before him, he doesn’t need great range to get his point across. It’s always been more important in the American folk tradition to wring a feeling out of your voice rather than virtuosity, and Kyle wrings out plenty on this solid debut.
- Performer Magazine
Aaron Kyle has dialed it back, but in no way should the Los Angeles singer-songwriter’s new approach be considered a retreat. As frontman of the swampy Americana outfit Le Switch, Kyle’s big, boozy vocals were fit for a New Orleans saloon. Now doing business as Geronimo Getty, he brings tempered, tremulous tones to the table on his new EP, “Darkness Hides.” Geronimo Getty’s country-fried stylings are more Man in Black (or Waylon and Willie) than Mardi Gras, and a host of local players bring their talents to EP, including ex-Le Switch guitarist Chris Harrison, who takes up that instrument as well as mandolin, banjo and lap steel. Morgan Germar contributes strings, with Seb Bailey (bass), Brian Sokia (drums) and Valerie McCann (background vocals) joining in. “Darkness Hides” arrives on Tuesday, and it’ll make you glad Kyle didn’t.
--Buzzbands.la
Geronimo Getty is Aaron Kyle's (Le Switch) new project, country songs in the vein of a Buck Owens Bakersfield sound. Until their recent show at the Echo I only had seen Kyle work this material solo or as a duo with longtime guitarist Chris Harrison. These were heart-wrenching, but starkly beautiful, cry-in-your-beer laments in the opening set. Geronimo Getty plays a record release show with the full band Sunday at 6pm at 1642 Bar on Temple St with Angela Correa and Josh Norton. Geronimo Getty's debut EP Darkness Hides will be released officially May 8.
- Radio Free Silverlake
This is why I love what I do. Music from artists like Geronimo Getty. Geronimo Getty is releasing an E.P. on May 8th called Darkness Hides. The only problem is that it is only 7 songs! True, seven amazing, great new songs is something to cling to. Musically, Geronimo Getty could have given me two or twenty songs, I would have been happy with anything. Aaron Kyle, formerly of Le Switch, is making music to grab onto and cherish. Aaron took his first solo project in the direction of a softly, picturesque Americana sound that really should be enjoyed for its earnest, simple beauty. This is music to relish play after play. The Band is Aaron Kyle, Christopher Harrison, Seb Bailey, and Brian Soika.

Bio
- The southern-stained Americana project from journeyman Aaron Kyle, Geronimo Getty is a starkly honest and personal voyage inward for the former Le Switch frontman.
Though it may be his most assured work, it’s certainly not Kyle’s first rodeo—as the vocalist and rhythm guitarist of Le Switch, Kyle and Co. quickly rose to prominence over the past several years within the L.A. ranks as one of the town’s finest indie bands. A barroom brawl of nicotine’d vocals and boozy country-rock guided by moody popcraft. And when Le Switch danced its last waltz in 2011, Kyle quickly set his sights on something a bit more quietly intense and personal: Geronimo Getty. A means by which to the explore the Venn Diagram of roots genres—country, Americana, and folk—that have always spun in the periphery of his music, GG finds Kyle’s musical background and history coming into full bloom over a warm and whiskey-soaked loam of distinctly American music.
Darkness Hides is the first salvo of this new project. Mostly recorded within the confines of Kyle’s basement with Le Switch bandmate and guitarist Christopher Harrison (with a few touches from the home studios of Radar Bros.’ Jim Putnam and Le Switch’s Joe Napolitano), along with Seb Baily (Division Day; Imaad Wasif) on bass and Brian Soika (Les Blanks) on drums, the disc was mixed by Jeff Halbert (Nick Cave, St. Vincent, The Californian) and produced by Kyle and Harrison.
Set to hit the world, and your ears, on May 8th, Darkness Hides will be supported by a west coast tour throughout May and more dates to follow.
