Kids In The Kitchen
Melbourne band Kids In The Kitchen reached Number 10 on the
Australian national charts with their debut single, Change In
Mood, in November 1983.
A second single, Bitter
Desire (May 1984), reached Number 17 in May 1984, after which
Greg Dorman and Greg Woodhead quit the band and were replaced by
Claude Carranza (guitar) and Alistair Coia (keyboards).
The
first single released with the new line-up was Something
That You Said, which provided another Top 20 hit in May 1985,
followed by a belated debut album, Shine, which was
a big seller nationally and topped the Melbourne charts.
Although
the title track only reached Number 40 when lifted as a single,
the next single release, Current Stand, became the
band's signature song and peaked at Number 12 in Australia.
The group had one of the shortest American tours ever, when on
a promotional visit in 1986. The band performed just one show, at
New York's famous Cat Club.
A second LP, Terrain, was released in 1987 with
several accompanying singles, but the band could not repeat the
success of their debut. They broke up the following year.
