When and why did you form the band together?
We originally formed at school just so we could have a bit of a laugh, not have to do as much music theory work. Harry joined the band in like 2008 or something that's when we decided hey, we're alright at this and started venturing a bit more.

Where does the name The Arcadian Kicks come from?
Well, we wanted to be called The Kicks but there was already a band called that. Then we liked The Libertines lyric: ‘arcadian dreams all fallen through from good old days’. So we put them together. It's better than the initial name suggested by B.P: Ironic Yellow. Haha.
What do you want people to get from your music?
Erm, sexually charged in mind body and soul.
Has being based in Birmingham benefited you as a band?
Has being based in Birmingham benefited you as a band?
Erm, not really to be honest... I mean the social scene is good and the nights are good but I wouldn't say there's that much of a live music scene here. There are some great bands though! So yeah creatively yeah.
Do you feel like you are a part of a scene in Birmingham?
Erm the social scene definitely but I think we're like the awkward outsiders that are doing something different to the rest and that could be a good thing.
What has been the best gig you have played so far?
What has been the best gig you have played so far?
Erm... I'm not really sure about best gig... Probably one of our club night. We had some great bands play it and it was carnage. The one where we had The Ruling Class play was pretty good. They've changed their name to Sulk now.
What is your favourite song to play live?
What is your favourite song to play live?
That's pretty difficult cus I think we've probably only played one of the songs from this new set live before. We do a pretty good late night/early morning Zeppelin/Nirvana jam in my house with our mates though.
What has been the best moment for you as a band so far?
What has been the best moment for you as a band so far?
I'd say taking this time off and writing these new songs. I've never been so excited and hell bent on something. They really do sound good.
Do you have any creepy fans yet?
Do you have any creepy fans yet?
We've got a few crazy mental ones but in a nice way they're all great. One of the guys that come’s to see us a lot: Stuart is a top top guy and he's recently had a daughter and called her Rebekah Louise which are the two girls in our bands first and middle names. That's quite a head fuck.
What are the future plans for the band?
