Screamfeeder's Kitten Licks

Released in 1996, Kitten Licks catapulted Brisbane indie-rock three-piece Screamfeeder into the ''90s alternative-rock boom alongside Powderfinger, silverchair, You Am I and Regurgitator. International tours, regular festival shows, and TV appearances followed. And yet, commercial success for Screamfeeder was comparatively short-lived. By the end of the decade, the band''s outlook was bleak: at a career standstill and unable to record under their own name. This is the story of how Kitten Licks was made, how it was swept up into ''90s mythology and what the journey tells us about the fickle nature of music production in Australia, namely: how to survive it.>
