LABEL:
RADDIG - 72
At the end of 2008, Kicksville began releasing weekly single "episodes" of sonic ambition into the digital ether. Thirteen tracks later, 'The Singles - Season 1' is nothing short of a mind-melting, genre-defying journey of sound through samples, sequences and taut organic instrumentation that, according to Wired.com, is "built for artistic insurrection."
That was just the warm up. Starting 4/20, 'The Singles - Season 2' will begin a radical new journey through Kicksville with the first single, "Dumfukistan" - a bizarre concoction blended from James Brown funk, aggressive techno, spoken word, and country chicken-picking a la Chet Atkins. And continuing the tradition of bringing in an artist to create uniqe cover art for each single, the 'Season 2' artwork will be from the catalogue of the legendary performance artist and City Council member, Tone Deaf.
Stay tuned: if you thought 'Season 1' was good, just wait till you hear 'The Singles - Season 2'!

About the Artist
Everything you read after i say "GO!" is how the band kicksville descibes themselves in their oft-re-written bio. see, i'm the guy from ropeadope, i'm the cat that signed kicksville on the spot after listening to the band's demo because i feel that they are the present-day future of all that is good about modern music......impossible to describe other than saying, it's really fucking good and it's my favorite band to get lost too. okay? GO! Kicksville is a small town founded in 1998 as a creative vacation resort by Mike Stehr and Conrad St. Clair. Kicksville's primary export is experimental, groove-driven music produced by Mayor Stehr, Commissioner St. Clair, the City Council, and the town's Citizens. And beneath the town's musical infrastructure lies a powerful message as well: Kicksville's Poet Laureate is the legendary poet and activist, John Beecher. Improvisation, painstaking programming, melodic sensibility, award-winning poetry, and bizarre sound effects are only some of the tools used to manufacture Kicksville's aural nuggets of hearty goodness. In early 2006, the Kicksville City Council started building the infrastructure needed to export their products to a wider market. They decided to create a 90-minute, continuous multi-media experience that could both showcase Kicksville's music and underlying message, and demonstrate to audiences the stagecraft and studio techniques used to create the show itself. By January, 2007, construction was complete"
