About Kick The Wicked & Wicked Tributes
Kick The Wicked became an extension of a tribute project that started when the lockdowns in 2020 were among us in the USA. Mark, Scott and Rory recorded over 40 tributes. It was clear, after working together for years, that there was excellent chemistry and comradery in this group. So it was decided that the group would begin this journey called KICK THE WICKED!
WICKED TRIBUTES is an extension of Kick The Wicked. It carries on our tradition that we started in 2020 and what became the catalyst for the band of musical colleagues we are today.
It is refreshing to be able to work with esteem musical colleagues from around the world and we do not see us slowing down anytime soon. Come join us on our musical journey.
Kick The Wicked is: Mark Lanoue (Lead Vocals, Guitars) , Scott Campbell (Backing Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Keys) & Rory Faciane (Drums, Percussion)
