Coming from Chicago, The Kickback came to the big apple to perform in front of a packed house at the Rough Trade for a CMJ showcase with Tokyo Police Club.

Exclaiming up front, “I know you guys have no idea who we are, but we will make you remember us! Even if it’s just a memory of ‘Oh yeah, that band was pretty cool.’” And guess what? There was absolutely no reason not to remember the sweaty dance party they created with the crowd. While the majority of the audience probably have never heard of them, their contagious live presence did not stop throughout their set. Lead singer Billy Yost came out with the most radical voice that perfectly blends into the harmonies of the band.
