| Formed in December 2003, it was a cold foggy night and as i (Kev Saigon former drummer with anarchy punk band the disrupters) was busking on the forbidden streets of Norwich, i was approached by a crazy man in a skirt! He started jibbering in a foreign language, which turned out to be drunken scottish. As i backed away fearfully, he asked if i needed a drummer in my one man band. As i was too petrified to disagree, i said yes. Saigon kiss was born. Crazy Ali as he is now known, used the same frightening technique to recruit Steve a metal head killer guitarist, and then Dave a soft spoken pop punk bassist of a local cover band (Run rock or something like that). We packed our sachels, and off we trotted where ever the wind took us, north Elmham village hall, the cherrytree pub, and other exotic establishments, where we frightened the locals and embarrassed our groupies, with our ear bleeding mix of metal punk noise! slowly but surely we began to build up a stable fan base, consisting of blow up dolls, pensioners, young girls and barbies. We have played with everone from Rockabilly band the peacocks to punk bands the Anti-nowhere legue,The U.K.Subs and to some of the best rock bands in East Anglia; Paranoia, If fire would fall, Spot etc.. Saigon Kiss are going from strength to strength. In march 05 in the great punk rock DIY tradition we went into Earth rehearsal studio armed with a small 8 track and lots of attitude. We laid down the 5 tracks that became The Throat Speech EP. At a cost of 35 for recording its probably not the best EP in the world (and not a patch on our incendiary live show) but it gives a little idea of what Saigon Kiss are about.On 5 6 05 dave our bass man left the band 3 days later James Clamp (J.D.) became the 3rd bass player to join Saigon Kiss,(not very lucky with bass players)maybe this one will keep up with some of the old f**kers in the band, only time will tell. In Jan 06 we released a new 5 track C.D.Room 100 it sounds a bit more like the live Saigon Kiss but i think we still have a long way to go before we capture our true sound on C.D. June 06 and another bass man this time its Keg bringing with him his own monster sound, Saigon Kiss is now complete our time is now, be afraid be very afraid. |
