About Me |
|
When was the last time a band captivated it’s audience with a timeless look and inner beauty that is only bestowed on the very few. The Arcadian Kicks are two girls, three boys all eighteen summers old. They combine soaring melodic beauty with hard-edged sax, soulful guitar soundscapes and pounding tribal rhythms contained by a wall of sub bass. They began their journey as school friends in classroom practise sessions and soon they were masquerading as adults to play countless gigs at the request of local Birmingham promoters. As their star rises local press have been keen to write about this band as well as requests from commercial stations to be the first to champion the next generation. The Arcadian Kicks give a glimpse of the future, a time to reject apathy and crass commercialisation, ready to deal in the worlds only true resource, music. Their first demo gives a rare glimpse of song writing partnerships in exciting early stages, the band securing the services of producer James Spencer.(New Order, Electronic, Johnny Marr and The Charlatans). Their music and lyrics are influenced by the world and their place within it by The Sounds ,The Subways ,Cajun Dance Party, Zeppelin, Julie Driscoll and early Fleetwood Mac. A heady cocktail that works its dependable magic to such affect that every audience will submit themselves to a band that has mesmerising stage presence and unbelievable musicianship. As their following and reputation grows, so will the clamour for their attention from a media, hungry for the next musical phenomenon.

Music:Member Since: 2/27/2006Band Website: Currently Under Development Band Members: ♠Becky Wilson - Vocals ♠Rebekah Pennington - Saxophone, Keys and Backing Vocals ♠Tom Holloway - Guitar ♠Tommy Kelly - Bass ♠Harry Grainger - Drums Influences: Listen to the tunes and have a think. :-) Sounds Like: "Many of their tunes start out sounding traditional, morph into a psychedelic middle sections, then come out growling like werewolves at the other end...........Between them and the inventive boys are tunes like 'Charlie' - part Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, part LSD freak out." Artrocker Magazine "The Arcadian Kicks are one group whose star is most certainly on the ascension, and their hybrid of indie rock and a smattering of funk and soul............Finishing with a funked up swagger" FUSED MAGAZINE Type of Label: None |
