Sunderland, England (1994 – 1998)
Kenickie were a punk-indie band from Sunderland, England that formed in 1994 at the height of the britpop era. Championed by the British DJ John Peel, two of their singles were voted into the Festive Fifty of 1996, with “Punka” coming in at number 4, and “Come Out 2Nite” being placed at number 1. 1997 saw three UK Top 40 chart singles (“In Your Car”, “Nightlife” and a re-release of “Punka”) and their debut album, “At The Club”, made the UK Top 10. The follow-up, “Get In”, was less successful, and the group famously disbanded following a show in 1998, when lead singer Lauren Laverne declared, “We were Kenickie … a bunch of fuckwits.”

Lauren always seem vaguely embarrassed by any mention of Kenickie on her radio show. I know it all ended badly but they really were great for what they were.

@thirdprofile - I've seen it go for £60 or so in the last few months, but maybe I shouldn't tell you that. On another note, I was lucky enough to come across mp3s of demos - Uglification, The Janet Ellis Conspiracy and Glamour For The Criminally Insane - anyone know where these originated from? Barely anyone on last.fm seems to have listened to them, and I'd never heard of them until recently.
