Kickstart

Because we LOVE IT!

About Me


Kickstart is based in Fort Smith, Arkansas and plays a mix of originals and classic rock from the 70's, 80's, 90's, and today.
While Kickstart in its present form has only been together since August of 2005, the band feels they have come across the perfect mix of musicians for the long haul. All the members have loads of experience - coming from such renowned bands as Prime Suspect, Judge Parker, Bounty Hunter, and the country recording star Joe Nichols. When performing cover tunes for the club scenes, Kickstart prides itself in accuracy and sound quality. Vocals are given very high priority, and the band has the envious ability to cover a huge range - from four-part harmonies such as Def Leppard and Journey, to the diverse melodic styles of Whitesnake, Godsmack, or Led Zeppelin, and even the seldom reproduced high ranges of AD/DC and Boston. Instrumentally, the band works very hard to accurately cover all aspects of the material with a sense of respect and admiration for the rock heroes we all love.
Originally, Kickstart is striving to incorporate various influences and favorite styles spanning several decades, and current songs are accessible and enjoyable, not obnoxious. When you attend a Kickstart show, come prepared to bang your head, sing along, dance, and have a good time. Above all, Kickstart believes that a band must be fun, not just coldy impressive. The band strives to provide something new for every show - not only new songs, but more and better equipment. Constantly reinvesting earned revenue into sound gear and a continuousy growing light show complete with smoke and special effects, the Kickstart show gets better all the time.
The band's official website is www.kickstartkicks.com
Also, we'd like to invite all bands to sign up on our newly created website, HireThatBand.com . To promote live entertainment we're building a HUGE database of bands of all types. Users can search by their area, band name, etc. and view band info, home page URL, MySpace URL, and whatever else the bands want to share. This is brand new and TOTALLY FREE and safe. Come on over. If nothing else, it'll at least be another avenue to your site.
