| Just picked up this bands No Rules album. It is really hot stuff.
Listening to it gave me the same feeling that I got when I first heard
bands like Extreme, Faith No More, Scatterbrain, etc. Very original
sound with a high standard of lyrics. The music is totally kick-ass and
they deserve to do well with this.
The first half of the album contains the best tracks, such as Need No
Rules, Your So Strange, Trash City and Generation Express. A different
cover of Mrs Robinson the Simon and Garfunkled number is...wellll -
different !
Not so earth shattering are the numbers Lost and Velvet Crush.
The album is about 55 mins long, so is also good value for money.
I give this debut a big thumbs up and suggest you go out and buy it
right now! What are you waiting for???

| Believe it or not, that's actually how they came up with the name for
the band (don't remember where I read that)...
But there was this groupie named Tracee, see, and Tracee was constantly
getting on everyone's nerves, see, so they would say "Kik Tracee out!"
--Hence the band name...

| Yay Friz. where did you hear/read that? That is a real shame if true;
I think there music is rooling! I was expecting to see a major tour
(or at least support act) to promote the album. How come bands as good
as this don't get anywhere and bands like Winger and Warrant can make
it? Does not make sense at all!

I bought the tape right after it came out. Someone told me that it
was supposed to be really good...I listened to it once and threw
it in the trash.

Hmph... don't they only have one song out right now?
How can their label want to drop them if they don't even
let them release more than one song?!
tigg~~ who doesn't usually buy a tape unless she hears more
than one song from it

| 574.11 | Kic Tracee OFF THE LABEL??????????? | COMET::FRISBYA | Wake me when it's over | Mon Oct 07 1991 13:09 | 8 |
| Gaz.....It's called reality of the business.
Kic Tracee is a good band but lack something special.
I know their about to be dropped because the bass player in my band
follows them and he was talking to their record rep. and that's what he
said. Sad but true....They even had a killer video!
Hell....They played in Denver and charged less at the door than us...

RE: .9 did you hook it, or just plain jam it???
They lack something special.....yeah, a NAME. I hate to say it but the
name is Stupid, and the music is nothing short of generic.
Chris, who really isn't into this band

| I picked this album up at the pawn shop where I got Shotgun Messiah.
I like it - Cindi likes it a LOT... I think it's what everyone in here
sez: Kinda Generic sounding... But they are a good LA type band.

| 574.14 | How much? Let me write ya a check! | COMET::FRISBYA | No Pun Intended | Mon Feb 03 1992 16:27 | 8 |
| Coop....I found them quite different from the norm.
Weird. I don't like the singer's voice too much though.
Every rock mag in the world are supporting these guys but they still
don't seem to be going anywhere. I'd hat eto be the one paying that
record company bill.

But I should give it another listen anyways. Maybe tomorrow.

It's pretty good but wore out fast with me....

Yeah, it's in the car now ... I've listened to about 1/2 so far.
It's not bad really, maybe a little better than I'd remembered
from the 1st listen.
I was racking my brains trying to figure out who the lead singer
sounds like ... definitely an "odd" voice. I keep thinking he
sounds like the lead singer of DefCon, but I haven't taken that
demo out yet for another listen.
The "Mrs. Robinson" cover is good.

| 574.19 | Very odd...It hard to pin down. | COMET::FRISBYA | Little Dove | Fri Jul 10 1992 10:14 | 5 |
| Mrs. Robinson is really good...I always thought his voice sounded
a little like a deeper Axl Rose.

| 574.20 | | METALX::SWANSON | IfYaFeelLikeARiotThenDontchaDenyIt | Fri Jul 10 1992 11:12 | 9 |
| They cover Mrs. Robinson? Ever since Pete mentioned doing a thrash
version of "Sounds Of Silence" I've thought that a thrash version of
Mrs. Robinson would be way cool. I'm sure Kik Tracee's version isn't
thrash, but they probably make it rock at least!
I can just hear the vocals scream "So here's to YOUUU! MRS ROBINSON...

| 574.21 | Bass ! | COMET::FRISBYA | Little Dove | Fri Jul 10 1992 13:35 | 7 |
| Ken: In Kic Tracee's version that part of the song sounds the same as
when Axl goes "Hey!HEY!...Hey,HEy yea!" in "Knockin' on heaven's door.
It's a weird cover...

I've been thinking about the Axl similarity, and you're right.
The lead singer sounds alot like Axl when he does "Mr. Brown-
stone".
GTI
|
| 574.23 | NO WAY! | COMET::FRISBYA | Little Dove | Fri Jul 10 1992 14:25 | 4 |

THUD!!!!(Friz falls to the floor in disbelief.

I think we're more alike than not. I like ALOT of poseur stuff,
from Poison to Warrant and others.
But I also like the heavier stuff, like Suicidal Tendencies and
Metallica and others.
You'll wise up soon, maybe. 8^)

| Listened to about half of 'No Rules' on the way in to work today. Basically,
I think this is a good band with mediocre songwriting and production. I'll
bet they'd be pretty decent live (like a good backup band or something),
but nothing special.
Extra points for their re-make of "Mrs. Robinson". I didn't like it that
much, but at least they re-arranged it to be their own, rather than doing
a note-for-note cover like so many bands do nowadays.
Promising debut, but will they get better or worse?

Ack! That cover of Mrs. Robinson made me GAG hard when I heard it! It
was all I could do to turn the radio off before I hurled in my car!

Does anybody know if they are still together and if anything new is
gonna be released.
The singer auditioned for Motley Crue when Vince Neil got bombed out
but the lead singer of the Scream got the job, does this mean they have
split or not.
