A Sunny Summer Sunday afternoon riding with the top down and then blowing that top right off your car!
Audio KickStand is a collaboration of a few local bands from the northern New Hampshire music scene including Five Day 40, PREFACE, Sounds Clever and more. Having shared the stage together many times and with a desire to continually keep music inspirational, fresh and exciting, these musicians began to collaborate.
Bringing many styles, ideas and song lists to the table these boys have developed an extensive set list. The dancing funk of The Meters, Stevie Wonder and James Brown to Reggae and Ska jams including Operation Ivy, Toots and the Maytalls, Slightly Stoopid and Sublime just touches upon the extensive list (see included cover set list).
The ideas and talents of the members also provides the perfect fuel to write their own material. Influences ranging from reggae, funk, hip hop, rock, groove, and/ or bluegrass, are the catalyst for tasty originals that are forcing people on their feet and singing right along.
Their mission as a band is to bring good times and great music to all, to make people feel at the shows like we are all in this together.
