The season begins November 10th with the release of "Phatty," and continues for 13 consecutive weeks; each single will be available for purchase from Ropeadope Digital:
"Season 1" ranges from long-lost Kicksville originals to audacious covers of The Police, Willie Dixon, and Talking Heads. Each single includes a unique cover created by nationally recognized illustrator and Kicksville Citizen Andy Ewen.
Kicksville's Mayor, Mike Stehr (Bass, Vocals, Keys, Percussion) and Commissioner, Conrad St. Clair (Bass, Vocals, Keys, Percussion) curate a crack team of collaborators on these special releases. In classic Kicksville fashion, these singles showcase the collective's improvisation, melodic sensibility, intriguing programming and bizarre sound effects "built for artistic insurrection" (Wired.com).
Additional details of each song and their contributors will be available in the coming weeks; Kicksville will have a dedicated page for liner notes and comments on Imeem. The first single, "Phatty," is now available for streaming here: http://www.imeem.com/kicksville
