My love affair with Kicking Giant started with a Built To Spill cover of their song “She’s Real”. I began searching for their releases and got the “She’s Real” 7”, “Halo” CD, “Alien ID” CD and this little gem tape, “BoyFriend Girlfriend”. I bought it at a KG show in Dayton at a Darts hall. KG was Tae Won Yu and Rachel Carns. Tae also did a lot of prominent album artwork for Built To Spill and many others. For me, KG was the perfect blend of punk, pop and slacker songwriting and became a constant favorite of mine. KG cover Jonathan Richman’s “Summer Feeling” making this tape that much more awesome. Also recorded by Kramer at Noise NY 1990. This was distributed by K records but released under Loose records.
