Never mind the corn, here's the British bollocks that are as much a part of the sounds made by The Hickoids as U. S. country music. On Kicking It With The Twits, the pioneering cowpunk band show another side that's just as important to their style as the C&W they delightfully twist and debauch. And one key factor in that approach was how U. K. acts took American born rock 'n' roll and added their own elements of rebellion, glamour, sleaze, sexuality, perversity and musical potency. This eight-song mini-album takes songs by original British invaders The Rolling Stones and The Who, glam era stars like Slade, Brian Eno and Mott The Hoople as well as cult heroes The Move along with punk originators The Damned and the inimitable Sir Elton and dress them up in Hickoids drag to create a simmering, slamming and, yeah, kicking slab of transatlantic rocking. Among the 8 tasty tunes are Elton John's Bennie & The Jets, The Move's Brontosaurus, The Who's Pictures Of Lily, and the Stones' Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadows? (done with Tex-Mex flair, no less).
