Nick Parker was 13 when he first picked up a guitar and tried to string together a few chords. By 14 he had put down the guitar and picked up the mandolin. Not least of all because he wanted to be in his brother, Ant’s band and they needed a mandolin player. The first few gigs came and went, under the name ‘The Mandolin Brothers’ (genius) before they changed their name to ‘Why?’ (equally genius) and they spent the next 10 years bouncing around on stages at hundreds of venues around the UK and Europe...

TKIF is young, nubile and willing...those kind of words usually draw attention so lets go with that. Formed in the now distant 2008, in the desolate and unforgiving wasteland that is swansea, south wales, TKIF are a highly charged four piece rock & roll outfit, dependant on subtle plaguerism and cider'n'black. The future will hopefully accomodate and welcome us but who gives a shit anyways riigghht? and er, no synths here either...sorry electro fans...
