There are several artists named "
KIK".
- 1) "KIK" are a five piece electronic band from Sheffield, UK.
You can blame the love of music for the relationship of the five like-minded souls known as "KIK". After dabbling in various bands, studios and nightclubs over the years, it was inevitable that these guys would stumble across each other at some point in their musical journey. With influences from many genres, "KIK" came together in 2003 and began to develop a very unique sound. Each member emerges from a completely different musical background, with diverse influences such as David Bowie, "Depeche Mode", "Red Hot Chilli Peppers", "Nine Inch Nails", Tiësto and "INXS" to name but a few.
Delivering a blend of rock guitars and dirty synths, in a way that is totally unique, "KIK" also believe that a bands' look is as important as the music; they have a sleazy rock n’roll glamour about them that transcends all genres.
"KIK" live is an experience that should not be missed! A visual and musical onslaught that is always entertaining. "KIK" have quickly established themselves with a fast growing alternative following, but have the ability to cross over into the mainstream with music that is accessible to all.
"Kerrang! FM" have been very supportive of the band and played numerous "KIK" tracks on air and have even showcased their first album, "RockScar", plus some additional material. They have also named the track "Crack-Whore-Barbi" as one of their “Modern Classics” and play-listed the song in their unsigned show.
"Kerrang! FM" also selected "KIK" as their “Band to Watch" for 2007.
The band consists of members: D'lear (lead vocals/guitar), Damian Rider (bass), Marcus Dale (drums), PRESLEY (synths/electronics) and Flixx (vj).
After releasing several demo CDs, on 1st August 2008 they released their first album "RockScar".
