“Spawned from the dirty sunshine gutter of St. Kilda in 2006, since then Bitter Sweet Kicks have been working hard around Melbourne's most well known pubs and venues. The kick's energetic live shows are renowned for leaving the stage covered in blood, sweat and broken glass after they bash their way through a solid set of chaotic rock n' roll. Raw, splintering riffs, catchy as hell bass lines, belting drums and howling vocals come together in a mixture of ‘proto punk’ and old school blues and rock to create a uniquely powerful sound. Bitter Sweet Kicks are; sick, filthy, nasty.”

Lurches and wretches like the Stones' Stray Cat Blues at the tail end of a two week bender. Like thorazine shuffling into a St Kilda sidewalk pizza...
