Kitchens of Distinction - Drive That Fast

1 decade 5 years 11 months ago

Kitchens of Distinction (often shortened colloquially to KOD) were a three-person alternative rock/dream pop band from South London, England, active from 1986 to 1996. One of my favorite "dream pop" bands from the late 80s/early 90s.

"Despite the promising start, the band faced a subdued reception from the mainstream music industry, generally due to their lyrical content. For instance, "Margaret's Injection," on the 1989 Elephantine EP, was a fantasy about killing then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Also, Fitzgerald was openly gay, and his lyrics dealt with that topic in a frank, no-nonsense and non-vulgar way, especially on tracks like "Prize" and "Within the Daze of Passion." Even the more indie-focused television programs like Snub TV and Rapido failed to give them much coverage, although Snub TV played the video for their 1991 single "Drive That Fast." Likewise, they were not offered a John Peel session, although they eventually did one after asking Peel personally."

Gotta love it.
