To quote legendary rock critic Lester Bangs completely out of context: Look Fuckheads....this is the greatest band in the world. Thats right kiddies, after 13 whiskey soaked years of rawknroll madness The James T. Kirks are still alive, still kickin ass, still breakin hearts, and still corrupting youth, just as they always have. With one cross-Canadian tour, countless live bootlegs, innumerable hall and bar performances, a live theatre score, and high profile shows in exotic locals such as Moosejaw, Vegreville & Penhold all to their credit, there seems to be no limit to the Kirks tentacle-like infiltration of civilized society. Much like Elvis in his famed 1968 comeback special, The James T. Kirks returned to the spotlight in 2002 roughly two years ago after a lengthy hiatus, during which some or all members were rumored to have spent time in the Niagra-Falls area. Finally submitting to public pressure, the twang and buzz duo of Ted Wright (guitar) and brother Rob (Bass) re-recruited original drummer Silas Grenis in order to perform in two all-star showcases of Edmonton bands at the closing shows of both The original Likwid Lounge and The Rev. After these two explosive, swoon-inducing performances, widespread public outcry arose demanding that the Kirks return to active band status. And so, to the exultant joy of jaded rockers and under-age girls alike, The James T. Kirks have decided to permanently re-ignite the tiki-torch of Edmonton surf punk and to soldier on in the face of vicious opposition from concerned parents, church groups and several PTAs. The evil gospel of Instro-Punk must be spread!!!!
