Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band were formed in late 1997 - playing many gigs in Dublin and attracting a live following. 1999 saw a limited release of their single 'jesus 2000' which proved very popular with Dublin's pirate radio. Work & college commitments meant that 2000 & 2001 were non-starters for kid icarus. The band fully reformed in late 2001 & 2002 saw the release of the "Kodak Colour Moment E.P." which was very favourable recieved.
