Welcome to the Home of Kick the Habit
Kick the Habit are a five piece Rock Covers Band based in Doncaster. They specialise in guitar based rock from the 70’s through to present day, from a wide variety of bands, but aim to play the slightly less obvious songs rather than a standard cover band set list. The band prides itself on its flexibility and can cater for a wide variety of audience tastes.
Kick the Habit met through a strange set of circumstances and coincidences while they were all living as transvestite nuns, ending in a chance meeting at a paintballing afternoon during the 2008 Annual Nun's weekend camping retreat in Scunthorpe.
On the way back to the campsite for the evening service, they got lost, and ended up in the wrong field, where they stumbled across a goth rock festival in full swing. Staggering across the field in the twilight, dressed in black habits covered in red paint and dirt, the crowd thought it was 'Cradle of Filth' pulling a publicity stunt to promote their new album 'Church of Zombie Nuns'.
A large crowd gathered around and forced them on to the stage demanding they play the new album. Despite the fact none of them had ever played before, they had no choice but to try...
Every few million years when certain stars in key positions within the galaxy align, rare, momentous and magical things can happen. This however, wasn't one of those and they died on their arses and fled the scene in a transit van parked behind the stage. About an hour later, stopping in the carpark of Tibshelf services they swore an oath that they would leave their habits behind them, learn how to play and start new lives gigging in the pubs and clubs of Yorkshire and the surrounding area. Thus the band 'Kick the Habit' was born........
