 New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Kicksville radically transform Led Zeppelin's workingman's plaint "Poor Tom" with electronic flourishes, lush synth sounds, and a spacey wall-of-sound production, as their sixth digital single in 'Season 1.' Listen to Kicksville's reanimation of "Poor Tom" here: https://www.imeem.com/kicksville On this track you can hear Kicksville's Commissioner Conrad St. Clair brings a warm, jazz-inflected fretless bass line to the foreground, while drummer Lou Caldarola does justice to John Bonham's syncopation. Mayor Mike Stehr plays the pulsating keyboards, and citizen Andy Ewen sings and plays blues-infused guitar riffs. Commissioner St. Clair explains, "Jimmy Page as a producer has easily been one of the biggest influences on Kicksville. Our tendency to try to create a wall of sound and cram something into every nook and cranny of the arrangement is very much his fault. That being said, this is a relatively minimalist version of ''Poor Tom.'"
