Release Notes:
Alterkicks were formed through adverts in shops in
Merseyside and Cheshire. Though based in Liverpool,
the band are drawn from far and wide. Ditching
successful careers in programming, teaching and
being on the dole, Alterkicks began to focus on
their music and getting themselves in front of
people in 2003.
Ever impressed by the songwriting and shape-shifting
of bands like Love, Radiohead, Bowie and the Kinks,
they have rapidly managed to create a set that is
winning friends and praise across the UK.
Early promise was clear when Radio OneÆs Zane Lowe
played a demo on his show in 2004 and this was
further confirmed by their debut single release on
legendary indie Fierce Panda in March of 2005. ôDo
Everything I Taught Youö, with live favourite ôThe
Cannibal Hiking Disasterö on the B-side took little
time to sell out and led to a second indie release
for Moshi Moshi in the form of ôOh, Honeyö in the
summer of that year. Dermot OÆLeary was so taken
with the single that he invited them on to his show
to record a live session for Radio 2. The band also
launched their club night, ôLittle Big Manö, in 2005
whilst finding time to continue touring and support
the likes of Little Flames and Thirteen Senses.
All the hard work led to a long term deal with B
Unique earlier this year, the first fruits of the
new relationship being single, ôOn A Holiday, which,
according to The Sun is ôa storming debut, packed
full of melodyö.. Further touring came with now firm
friends Larrikin Love and The Automatic, playing to
two sets of sold out crowds across the UK and
generally going down a storm. Particular highlights
from the tours include packed crowds at LondonÆs
Scala, Astoria and Forum and a particularly crazy
night at Leeds Josephs Well with NME thrilling to ôa
celebration of love, life and jingle jangle
brillianceö.
