So whats happnin with the rest of the little kicks or are you just takin a bit o time out and doin somethin different??

[Steven Milne]

basically, its a side project and a bit of fun. The little kicks are still in full flow and the guys are supportive and will be ther on saturday. I just thought it would distinguish it a lot more from the kicks by getting other people involved. Toby (guitarist) is on holiday till end of month so we arent playing till November. Perfect time to release a solo ep as I like to be kept busy.

Ive been getting asked this a lot so, the ep came from the following...
About a year ago i was tweaking some little kicks recordings with a friend at his home studio (adding harmonies, equalizing a wee bit). I decided to demo some new and old songs while i was there as the recording equipment had a really nice sound. We recorded about 8 acoustic demos and added a couple of piano parts and harmonies here and there and the songs grew from that.

It really was meant to just be a demo but I really enjoy the recording process and we ended up spending around 6 months on it (we could only do one night a week due to commitments). Most of the songs ended up having harmonies, piano, organ, bass, guitars and various effects on them and the feedback from people who heard it made me think i should put it out.

It doesnt sound anything like the little kicks so its a definite side project. I ve been writing songs since i was 17 and i listen to heaps of stuff so sometimes i write a song that is clearly suitable for the kicks and sometimes it would be suitable but maybe better as a solo song. The first song i ever wrote is on the solo ep. Its really just a way of putting some songs out and the little kicks may use them in future but probably rock them up a lot more!

i find it hard to describe the ep, i think some parts its influenced by brian wilson, johnny cash , nick drake and things like that! its really chilled out compared to anything else ive ever done so weve thrown a few upbeat covers into the set for saturday to keep it lively!
biggest accolade ive had is alan cynic saying he has it in his i-pod!

Speaking of whom, im sure it wont be the last time you play the lemon tree.Im really looking forward to your set and the whole night in general, although im somewhat nervous!!!

Thats good to hear as ive seen you's a few times(played with you once) and liked your stuff! I know what you mean about having tunes that wouldnt be right for the band as i listen to loads odf different things and that comes out in some songs that would sound shit if other people touched them!!!

Sure all will go well!!!
