Lemon Kittens, formed in Reading, England, in 1977 by Karl Blake and Gary Thatcher, were a pioneering force in the post-punk and experimental music scenes. The band's lineup was notably fluid, featuring artists like Danielle Dax and Mark Perry. Their avant-garde sound, characterized by a blend of cacophonous and pastoral melodies, drew comparisons to Canterbury's jazz-rock and Brian Eno's experimental rock. Key releases include the EP "Spoonfed and Writhing" (1979) and the albums "We Buy a Hammer for Daddy" (1980) and "The Big Dentist" (1982). Lemon Kittens' innovative approach left a lasting impact on the experimental music landscape. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_Kittens?utm_source=openai))
