Kid Wikkid

The band formed in 1983 in Toronto under the name Herrenvolk. In search of a lead vocalist, they traveled to Peterborough, where they met Sebastian Bach. Albeit only 13 years old and surrounded by 20- to 30-year-olds, he belted out a scream and won the audition. However, Sebastian's father wouldn't allow him to move with them. Later, his father agreed and Sebastian moved to Toronto to live with his aunt, and Sebastian joined Herrenvolk. On the subway on his way to Safor Rehearsal Studios in Toronto, Sebastian saw a wall of graffitti, it was signed "Kid Wicked". Sebastian told the guys in Herrenvolk and they agreed to go under the name "Kid Wikkid" instead. "There was a 4 OR 5 song KID WIKKID cassette that was sold at the Record Peddlar in Toronto , Canada. I know because I made them myself & sold them to the store! We sold them at least 40 cassettes . The songs were ( I think): Fire In Her Eyes Reckless & Free Lady Squeeze Money In A Hurry There may have been more songs I cant remember. But I have a recording of Q107 in Toronto playing "Fire in Her Eyes " live on the radio talking about upcoming Kid Wikkid shows, it is very rare! Still have copies of the original Kid Wikkid cassette, it was pink & black. We made them on the photocopier at the local pharmacy." [Sebastian Bach, http://sebastianbach.proboards.com] They also recorded a song called "Take A Look At Me" that was featured on [m997387] - a compilation album of small Canadian bands. Sebastian recorded a song called "You Should Know Me" during this time, it is unknown if any other members were featured on this track. This song was used to promote him and eventually land him a spot as lead singer for Madam X (3).
