About Sidekicknick from Auckland
A new hope . A flash of light . In an over saturated . Black sea of not much. Conceived in an orchestra pit . He has spent his life . Surrounded by music. . As a pre schooler Nick Travelled the world with his parents . Both classically trained musicians . In a medieval music group They took him to far reaching lands . Such as Legoland and Disneyland And following this immersion into . The more traditional forms of music . Nick approached his smelly oily years in search of something new Gently guided by his glam metal inspired brother . He swapped his corset, lute, and tightsFor ripped denim, big hair, and more tights . Accounting for the present day . Mildly endearing bad attitude He started young on the piano . However . Nick showed no love for playing . On the segregated key layout By his eighth birthday . Nick had moved on to the trumpet . Loud and abrasive . By comparison . Unsurprisingly Nick excelled with the horn . But gave up after struggling . In the high school jazz band . With Funkytown His father . A Doctor of Music . Was forced into trading the trumpet . For a shiny red bass guitar . And a very loud practice amp The 90’s brought many an influence . To the burgeoning mind of a young Nick . Much of it probably bad The songs are about girls, cellular telephones, dinghy rides, eyeballs, television, eating, sleeping, boredom, frustration, getting old, death and a selection of other mundane stuff Witness the result He has been prodding and poking this hedgehog with a stick . And now the hedgehog is ready to cross the road Fun and indulgent . Polite and obnoxious . This album is what We all are made of . Everything . And fuck all Don’t read into it . Its just art.
