The New Kinetics were formed when singer Birdy Bardot became tired of writing solo and enlisted the help of guitarist Brian Reilly (Hotel St. George). Together they went on the hunt for the perfect drummer and found an immediate fit in Jon Bonser (Death On Mars). Needing one more for a full deck, they posted an ad on craigslist and after playing with every loose bass player in San Diego county a fellow named Phillip showed up from Los Angeles to complete the sound. While playing extensively in the San Diego area, the band recorded and released their first album Rock and Roll Has Got to Go in late 2010. Phillip left the band in early 2011, and was replaced by Leslie Schultze on bass. The new year has brought a short - but very successful - tour in New York, a new focus on writing and recording, and local shows with international acts. A west coast tour is also in the works, planned for late August in support of a second album, due in May 2011.
