Josh and Joel Meadows founded indie-pop outfit the Sugargliders in 1989, overseeing the group until they disbanded in 1994. In an interview with Beat in 1994, Joel said: “The Sugargliders were developing into something which involved a whole lot more people. We had a choice of trying to change The Sugargliders or make a clean break and start something new.” This ‘something new’ was The Steinbecks. 2014 saw the release of Kick to Kick with The Steinbecks, the latest piece of the band’s long history. It marked their first album in seven years and featured the track ‘Kick to Kick’, a dedication to the late cousin of the Meadow brothers. The Bridge, Castlemaine – June 21.
