The Kik

The KiK are a contemporary sixties beat band from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Risen from the ashes of The Madd in 2010 (both bands were formed and fronted by Dave von Raven), The KiK released their first 7-inch vinyl single in April 2011: My Eyes Are Still Dry (with Here's Hoping on its flipside). A seasonal single followed in december: A Christmas Song For You (Radio Mix). The band's début singles were sung in English. In May 2012 The KiK surprised fans and press by releasing a full-length début album sung entirely in Dutch: Springlevend. It lifted them to a new, previously unimaginable level of success. The second The KiK full-length, simply entitled 2, was released in April 2014. The original KiK line-up consisted of: Marcel Groenewegen, Dave von Raven, Ries Doms and Arjan Spies After Spies left his place was taken by Simon Keats.
