New York City's P*S*K (aka POP*STAR*KIDS) ruled the Lower East Side with a neon-gloved fist from 2000 to 2006, releasing three full length CDs along the way. Their truly awe-inspiring live shows had everyone from stodgy critics (the Village Voice, All Music Guide) to admiring fellow musicians (Nuno Bettencourt, King's X) singing the praises of P*S*K, while the band's immaculately self-produced recorded material found its way into countless TV shows, films and college radio playlists.
