Johnny X, who now referred to himself as Pete X, moved to guitar, with the live band augmented by Graham Christie (later of Data Panik) on drums and Dot Allen on keyboards.
[5] Lauren Laverne released one solo EP in 2000, Take These Flowers Away, and earlier that year sang on the Mint Royale single "Don't Falter", which reached No.
[8] Du Santiago and Montrose started short-lived clubnight Shimmy in Gerrard Street, London before they went on to form a new band called Rosita, and released two singles before splitting up in September 2001.
Nixon's four songwriting credits on the latter were the first new songs released by any of the three female Kenickie members since Laverne's EP seventeen years earlier.
[10] Montrose – as Emma Jackson – formed synth trio The Pictures[11] after Rosita split and later edited journal The High Horse during 2005–2010 while occasionally playing with jam band Snakes And Ladders.
After some time as a research fellow in Urban Studies at the University of Glasgow,[12] she returned to Goldsmiths in January 2015 as a lecturer in the Department of Sociology.
Laverne is the last remaining member of the band to still use her Kenickie stage name; Nixon and Jackson last referred to themselves as Du Santiago and Montrose in early 2002 for a DJ appearance together at London clubnight Stay Beautiful.
Kenickie have been credited as having inspired a wave of mainstream female guitar bands that emerged in the wake of their split, including 21st Century Girls, Hepburn and Thunderbugs.
[14] They were also cited as an influence on a generation of female alternative bands, such as Chicks, Angelica, Cheetara (who covered Come Out 2Nite) and Vyvyan, some of whom were associated with the Club Rampage/Club P*rnstar "Bratpop" scene.
