The Long Beach, CA based group Kicked Out formed in the fall of 2005 when drummer Lindsay Spence and bass player Michael Millar were "excused" from their previous band. Throughout late 2005 and early 2006 the band auditioned various guitarists and vocalists. The band was one step closer to being completed when guitarist/vocalist Ryan Olivieri joined the group in the early part of 2006, and was officially completed as a trio in the summer of 2006. With a mix of melodic vocals and rhythmic grooves Kicked Out creates music for everyone.
