Kenickie
Kenickie were an English four-piece pop punk band from Sunderland. The band was formed in 1994 and consisted of lead vocalist, guitarist and lyricist Lauren Laverne, drummer Johnny X (real name Pete Gofton, Lauren's brother), lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist Marie du Santiago (b. Anne Marie Nixon) and bass guitarist Emmy-Kate Montrose (b. Emma Jackson). The band's name comes from their favourite character in the 1970s film Grease.
History
By the time Catsuit City (1995) was released on Slampt, Kenickie declined an offer by Alan McGee to sign to Creation. Following the release of Skillex (1996) on Fierce Panda, Kenickie signed to Saint Etienne's EMI subsidiary, EMIDisc. Kenickie registered in the UK Singles Chart, their highest position being No. 24 with the single "In Your Car", which opened Top of the Pops on the 10 January 1997 edition. Their debut album At The Club, peaked at No. 9 in the UK Albums Chart in May 1997. In the summer of 1997, Kenickie were scheduled to play Glastonbury; their set was postponed, due to rain, but took place later on the scheduled day.

Spies
by: KenickieI'm working on a new insult
Send it straight to you
I'm setting up a new mission
Making my plan foolproof
You should stay
Out of my way
I'm doind this for you
I don't have time
To watch you cry
I do the work of two
You keep me talking
Weather's not quite right
Do you know quite how boring
Do you know I could die tonight
So watch your back
'cos I might crack
And I'm licenced to kill
Your bloodless face
Your silent mouth
Would give me such a thrill
oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
You should stay
Out of my way
I'm doing this for you
I don't have time
To watch you cry
I do the work oftwo
We are spies
We will kill you
We are spies
We will kill you
Shanana ooh
Shanana oooh
