Kid Icarus

Kid Icarus began in 1996 as the musical brainchild of wayward home taper, Eric Schlittler. Over the years Kid Icarus has grown to include a number of collaborators including both friends and fellow musicians. Releasing albums of home baked lo-fi psychedelia and pop maneuvers. In 2004 Kid Icarus evolved into a full band sporting the talents of Ted Baird, Thad Moyer, Justin Marchegiani and Jeff Gilotti while still entertaining the occasional detour into solo performance.
Aside from handmade cassette releases and compilation appearances, Kid Icarus has released three full length albums on Summersteps Records. The albums are Be My Echo, released in 2002, Maps Of The Saints released in 2003, and The Metal West released in 2005. There's also a split EP that was released in 2003 with The Green Chair on Prison Jazz Records. 2010 saw the release of the group's long awaited fourth full length LP, Imaginary Songs and Aluminum Hits. 2011 marked the release of the group's EP Ghost Town Feelings for Stress Carrier.
