Product DescriptionNever mind the corn, heres the British bollocks that are as much a part of the sounds made by The Hickoids as U. S. country music. On Kicking It With The Twits, the pioneering cowpunk band show another side thats just as important to their style as the C&W they delightfully twist and debauch. And one key factor in that approach was how U. K. acts took American born rock n roll and added their own elements of rebellion, glamour, sleaze, sexuality, perversity and musical potency. This eightsong minialbum takes songs by original British invaders The Rolling Stones and The Who, glam era stars like Slade, Brian Eno and Mott The Hoople as well as cult heroes The Move along with punk originators The Damned and the inimitable Sir Elton and dress them up in Hickoids drag to create a simmering, slamming and, yeah, kicking slab of transatlantic rocking. Among the 8 tasty tunes are Elton Johns Bennie & The Jets, The Moves Brontosaurus, The Whos Pictures Of Lily, and the Stones Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadows? (done with TexMex flair, no less).ReviewThey sound as big and badass as ever Margaret Moser, Austin ChronicleDont expect these nutball cudpunks to start acting their age anytime soon.
