We were always a band that missed the mark in terms of belonging to a genre. I think we tried sometimes or did I imagine that? Post-Punk, no, New Romantic, no, and later categorisations were things glimpsed in the distance, islands on screens, but never truly visited.
A bubble world maybe, convinced of its own validity? There were moments of grandiosity.The Other Side of Heaven, pure eccentricity; Love Lasts Forever or early electro; Frightened in France.
On Certain Things are Likely we momentarily connected with the zeitgeist and made No 1 in the US dance charts when Prince was number 2. ‘One Step’ was big in Italy, but even that managed to include some faux Clint Eastward semi-biblical ramblings.
And now? Nothing’s changed. Maybe in the culture of immediacy genres don’t matter, and if they do, another is only a thumb swipe away. Fleeting engagement. Houston via the view from a stage in Verona, or Martin Hannett emerging from beneath a a venerable 24 track Helios console, to suggest recording the snare drum in the lift, while Ken Thomas marvels at the delay offered by Neve AMS X16.
Kissing the Pink are a disparate group of people who get together to make music. I hope we bring a little light into the world.
