4/5 of the band met in high school –
a few already in kinder garden – and from day
one it was clear that they all had the same dream. The
fact that the band has been together for over 10 years
shows in the power of the energy in both recording and
live performances.
Kick The Kangaroo's music is based mainly
on Australian and American guitar-rock/pop. Crystal-clear
pop tunes, cool grooves, tasteful guitar riffs and to-die-for
backing vocals make the band capable of hit almost any
part of your body. We like to call it ACTIVE ROCK!!
First single #1 “down
under”!
In Jan. 2002 the energetic slow rock track “I
Would Do Anything” from the debut album “Sounds
Like A Bad Joke (2000)” hit #1 on the Australian
Satellite Music airplay chart. A second single will
be out down under soon, followed by a promo/live tour
in Melbourne and Sydney in Feb. 2003. Amongst others
the band will play the Melbourne Int. Blues & Music
Festival feat. major international acts.
