We started out as your basic boring cover band. Dont they all start that way? The whole thing started in the fall of 98' when Richy and Charlie were introduced by some mutual friends. Things kinda spread from there. Band members have come and gone but Rich and Charlie have stayed true to the scene. The band started out being called Whatever. After a couple of years and a few drummers and bass players, it was time for a change. With the band having a solid line up finally by 2001, we decided on the name Kikplate. We have played from Kansas City to Wichita and everywhere else in between. (A few of those places are best forgotten.) The formula that has kept this band together is fun+fun+more fun. Thats what we have when we play on stage. This band is definately a live band. We've never had the money to make a full quality c.d. but we did recently finish our first c.d. recorded at a small studio in Pittsburg, Ks. We would love the chance to get in the studio again and be able to make a good quality c.d. with profesional mastering and mixing. Until then, we're just gonna keep rockin', as long as the people come. And the crowd is always growing!
