Artist description
From the heart of Scandinavia - Denmark - comes Kick The Kangaroo. With a pile of fine catchy pop-tunes and a lot of ambition Danish energy rockers are now reaching out for the rest of the world with their brand new album "Bits & Pieces" from which the first two singles "Last Kiss" and "Think About The Rain" already have made a huge impact with massive airplay on both National and commercial radio in Denmark.
4/5 of the band met in high school - a few already in kinder garden - and from day one it was clear that they all had the same dream. The fact that the band has been together for over 10 years shows in the power of the energy in both recording and live performances.
Kick The Kangaroo's music is based mainly on Australian and American guitar-rock/pop. Crystal-clear pop tunes, cool grooves, tasteful guitar riffs and to-die-for backing vocals make the band capable of hit almost any part of your body. We like to call it ACTIVE ROCK!!
