Vicious Kites was formed in Brisbane in 1984. The lineup was Luke Jacobs (vocals/bass), Nick Patterson (drums), Gerard Lacheca (vocals/guitar) and Nick Volk (guitar). 1985 was a good time for the band. Thier release ''Speaking Minds / Here With You'' saw them get good airplay on 4ZZZ and they got some good support slots with the likes of the Hoodoo Gurus. They got good crowds at their own shows too and were generally thought as on par with band Ups and Downs but with less paisley and a bit more funk. The band relocated to Sydney and recorded their second single ''Taking Care Of You / Another Man's Poison'' on Revolution Records in 1986. The band gigged at many pubs around town like the Mortdale and Hopetoun. Patterson was replaced by Darren Lallich before they recorded 'Sold', a 12″ mini-album. It was released by Faith & Hope records and it included six songs, three on each side. Guitarist Ian Davies joined the band in the late 80s but they didn't last much longer. Gerry Lacheca, Nick Patterson and Luke Jacobs were later in a band called Ne’erdowells and they were based in Brisbane. Founding member Luke Jacobs died in 2019.
