Artist History Dean and Rich had always wanted to do a musical project together. As it happened, they went separate ways in 1995 when Rich played in band 'Grounded' and Dean and Ross formed band 'Monster'. After some levels of success, five-piece Monster split up and reformed as three-piece Kickshaw in 1999 with another Dean. Kickshaw then played for three years with this line-up, performing and headlining at venues and radio stations across Bristol and releasing two EP's. Most recently in 2002, Rich joined as replacement drummer. A few warm-up gigs have been played and an EP has just been recorded. Now is the time.
