They enjoyed chart success with four top-20 hits on the Australian [[Kent Music Report]] Singles Chart, "[[Change in Mood]]" (1983), "[[Bitter Desire]]" (1984), "[[Something That You Said]]" and "[[Current Stand]]" (both 1985). The related album, ''[[Shine (Kids in the Kitchen album)|Shine]]'' (20 May 1985), reached No. 9 on the Kent Music Report Albums Chart and was the 16th-biggest-selling album of 1985 in Australia.<ref name="auchart">{{Cite book|title=[[Kent Music Report|Australian Chart Book 1970–1992]] |last=Kent |first=David |author-link=David Kent (historian) |publisher=Australian Chart Book |location=[[St Ives, New South Wales|St Ives, NSW]] |year=1993 |isbn=0-646-11917-6}}</ref> A second album, ''[[Terrain (Kids in the Kitchen album)|Terrain]]'', followed in August 1987 peaking at #39, in October of that year. The group disbanded in 1988. Kids in the Kitchen supported the Australian leg of [[Culture Club]]'s 2016 world tour.<ref name="ScottCarne_RC40_2016" />

==History== Kids in the Kitchen formed early in 1983 in Melbourne with the line-up of Scott Carne on lead vocals, Bruce Curnow on drums, Greg Dorman on lead guitar, [[Craig Harnath]] on bass guitar, and Greg Woodhead on keyboards.<ref name="McFarlane"/><ref name="Holmgren"/> The group played live for eight months before signing with [[Mushroom Records]]' White label.<ref name="McFarlane"/> Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, described how they had "attracted a great deal of attention. [They] had the right sound (contemporary synth pop with a dash of funk inspired by the likes of [[Duran Duran]], [[Spandau Ballet]] and [[Chic (band)|Chic]]), the right looks and plenty of youthful appeal to make a grab for the charts".<ref name="McFarlane"/>

The band's debut single, "[[Change in Mood]]" (produced by [[Ricky Fataar]] and Tim Kramer<ref name="Holmgren"/><ref name="NLA 1"/>), reached No. 10 on the Australian [[Kent Music Report]] Singles Chart in December 1983.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://i.imgur.com/MyookoA.jpg|title=Kent Music Report No 548 – 31 December 1984 > National Top 100 Singles for 1984|publisher=[[Kent Music Report]]|via=Imgur.com|access-date=8 January 2022}}</ref> It was co-written by Dorman, Carne, Harnath, Curnow and Woodhead.<ref name="APRA Change"/> The group toured nationally, initially as a support to [[Models (band)|Models]], then as headliners.<ref name="McFarlane"/> Kids in the Kitchen appeared regularly on [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] TV's pop music series, ''[[Countdown (Australian TV series)|Countdown]]'', with Carne often guesting as co-host; he was also a "popular cover boy" for the related ''Countdown'' magazine.<ref name="Warner"/>

Their second single, "[[Bitter Desire]]", hit No. 17 in April 1984.<ref name="Kent"/><ref name="NLA 2"/> It was produced by [[David Kershenbaum]].<ref name="Holmgren"/> After its appearance Dorman and Woodhead quit the band and were replaced by Claude Carranza and Alistair Coia, respectively.<ref name="McFarlane"/><ref name="Holmgren"/> On 15 April that year they performed "[[Bitter Desire]]" at the annual [[Australian pop music awards#1983|''Countdown'' Music and Video Awards]], where they were nominated for 'Most Promising New Talent' and 'Best Debut Single' for "[[Change in Mood]]".<ref name="Count1983"/><ref name="NLA Count 1983 Noms"/> The first single released under the new line up, "[[Something That You Said]]", was another Top-20 hit in April 1985.<ref name="Kent"/><ref name="NLA 3"/> It was co-produced by the band with [[Thom Panunzio]]<ref name="Holmgren"/> and [[Molly Meldrum|Ian "Molly" Meldrum]] at 301 Studios, Sydney.

On 20 May 1985 the band issued its debut album, ''[[Shine (Kids in the Kitchen album)|Shine]]'',<ref name="Warren"/><ref name="NLA 4"/> which reached No. 9 on the Kent Music Report Albums Chart.<ref name="Kent"/> ''[[The Canberra Times]]''{{'}} Rachael Warren noted that due to main producer [[Mark S. Berry|Mark Berry]] it was "influenced by US West-coast sound" and "may sound thin in some circles" but it gave "people a variety of what the band is really like".<ref name="Warren"/> The album was certified platinum for shipment of 70,000 copies.<ref name="McFarlane"/> They promoted its release by further national tours.<ref name="McFarlane"/> Although the title track only reached No. 40 as a single, the next, "[[Current Stand]]", became the band's signature song and was a hit overseas as well as peaking at No. 12 in Australia.<ref name="Kent"/> Chris Löfvén directed the music video for "[[Shine (Kids in the Kitchen song)|Shine]]", which he later described as being "a nightmare assignment" with "fireworks and explosions and things being shot from helicopters".<ref name="Hawker"/>

In September 1985, ''The Canberra Times''{{'}} Paul Gardiner, ''[[Rolling Stone Australia|Rolling Stone]]''{{'}}s Jane Gardiner and [[Toby Creswell]] predicted in "The Next Big Thing" that Kids in the Kitchen would be more prominent in the next five years.<ref name="Gardiner"/> They were described as one of the "bands which attract support as either middling bands on the way up or potential big bands".<ref name="Gardiner"/> Carne joined as guest vocalist with [[The Incredible Penguins]] late in 1985, for a [[cover version|cover]] of "[[Happy Xmas (War Is Over)]]", a charity project for research on [[Little Penguin|fairy penguin]]s, which peaked at No. 10 in December.<ref name="Kent"/><ref name="WhosWho"/>

During 1986, ''[[Shine (Kids in the Kitchen album)|Shine]]'' was re-issued as ''Kids in the Kitchen'' by Sire Records for the European and United States markets.<ref name="Holmgren"/> Late that year Curnow was fired from the band; he was temporarily replaced by [[Sterling Campbell]] on drums (who left to join [[Cyndi Lauper|Cyndi Lauper Band]]) and more permanently by Jason Stonehouse.<ref name="McFarlane"/> Curnow later told Matt Dowling of [[ABC Shepparton]] radio station that it "was a tour to promote the album ''Shine'' over in America... and when I got there they said 'well thanks for your services they are no longer required' ... as brutal as that... I spent six months getting over it".<ref name="Dowling"/>

A new single, "[[Out of Control (Kids in the Kitchen song)|Out of Control]]", was released in June 1986. ''The Canberra Times''{{'}} Lisa Wallace described it as "brash, harsh and too, too heavy; overkill, senseless" and disputed promotional accolades from their record company, writing "I beg to differ ... Somewhere down there lurks a melody line and some lyrics, but I'm not too sure how many people will be willing to cut through the crap to find it".<ref name="Wallace"/> The single stalled at a disappointing No. 33 on the Australian chart.<ref>{{cite web|title=Forum – ARIA Charts: Special Occasion Charts – Top 100 Singles 1986|website=Australian-charts.com. Hung Medien|url= https://australian-charts.com/forum.asp?todo=viewthread&id=27219&pages=4|access-date=2 December 2017}}</ref>

Kids in the Kitchen's second LP, ''[[Terrain (Kids in the Kitchen album)|Terrain]]'', was released in August 1987 but only peaked at number 39 on the Australian album charts.<ref name="McFarlane"/><ref name="Kent"/><ref name="NLA 5"/> It was co-produced by Richard Gottehrer, Harnath, Kids in the Kitchen, Andy Wallace and Kershenbaum.<ref name="Holmgren"/> Ian McFarlane felt it was "patchy, but it displayed a more mature dance approach".<ref name="McFarlane"/> Music journalist [[Stuart Coupe]] described it as "less heartfelt, more synthetic" and it was "about as scintillating as counting your toes for 40 minutes; Oh well, everything can't be great – we've got to have some yard stick for measuring the good Australian albums!"<ref name="Coupe"/> Late that year Simon Kershaw (ex-Go 101) joined on keyboards.<ref name="McFarlane"/><ref name="Holmgren"/> The album provided more singles, but the group could not match the chart success of their earlier material.<ref name="Kent"/><ref name="Devery"/>

In November 1987, Carne told Karen Middleton of ''The Canberra Times'' of his disappointment in their record company's choice of producers for ''[[Terrain (Kids in the Kitchen album)|Terrain]]'' and their previous management: "[w]e could've basically produced the album ourselves and probably done an equally [good] or better job, but unfortunately record companies want names of producers on the album ... [a]nd the guys we're dealing with on our level ... are just really average and you end up doing the job anyway".<ref name="Middleton"/>

Despite Carne indicating that the group was due to work on a third album in the new year,<ref name="Middleton"/> Kids in the Kitchen broke up in 1988.<ref name="McFarlane"/> In 1988, Australian promoter Paul Dainty defended his approach of working with popular acts, [[John Farnham]] and [[Glenn Shorrock]], at the expense of lesser known artists, "[y]ou just don't hear enough about new bands like Kids in the Kitchen whereas someone like [Farnham] or [Shorrock] ... The critics always say, 'Give new music and young groups a go' ... but, the point is, the people who are paying the money want established acts".<ref name="Dainty"/>

==Afterwards== Following the split of Kids in the Kitchen, Carne joined a rockabilly band, Priscilla's Nightmare, which released a self-titled album, then embarked on a solo career.<ref name="McFarlane"/> Carne's solo single, "All I Wanna Do", was a minor hit in 1990. Curnow opened a Billy Hyde music store in [[Shepparton]] in 2002.<ref name="Dowling"/> Harnath was a producer, including working for [[Chocolate Starfish]].<ref name="McFarlane"/> He also worked on soundtracks for [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] TV shows, ''[[Frontline (Australian TV series)|Frontline]]'' (1994–1997) and ''[[Funky Squad]]'' (1995).<ref name="McFarlane"/> He later owned Hothouse Studios in [[St Kilda, Victoria|St Kilda]]. As of 2018, Scott Carne still tours Australia as a solo act singing the songs of Kids in the Kitchen. The 2014 "Absolutely 80s" tour saw Carne team up with Brian Mannix of Uncanny X-Men, Paul Gray (Wa Wa Nee), David Sterry (Real Life), Tim Rosewarne (Big Pig) and others. A compilation CD "Absolutely 80s – Then & Now" was also released to coincide with the event.

In June 2016, Kids in the Kitchen consisting of Scott Carne, Claude Carranza, Bruce Curnow and Craig Harnath were one of the support acts for [[Culture Club]]'s 2016 Australian tour.<ref name="CC&KitK_2016">{{cite web|last1=Champion|first1=Josh|title=Live Review: Culture Club + Kids in the Kitchen – Adelaide Entertainment Centre (06.06.16)|url=http://music.theaureview.com/reviews/live-review-culture-club-kids-in-the-kitchen-adelaide-entertainment-centre-06-06-16/|website=The AU Review|date=7 June 2016|publisher=Heath Media|access-date=17 April 2018}}</ref> They were also booked to play the Hunter Valley, supporting Culture Club's ''Encore Tour'' in December 2016.<ref name="ScottCarne_RC40_2016">{{cite web|last1=Hamey|first1=Sharyn|title=Interview: Scott Carne|url=https://rockclub40.com/interview-scott-carne/|website=Rock Club 40|date=December 2016|access-date=17 April 2018}}</ref><ref name="CC_ET_2016">{{cite web|title=Culture Club Encore Tour|url=http://oneworldentertainment.com.au/culture-club-encore-tour/|website=One World Entertainment|publisher=One World Entertainment|access-date=17 April 2018|archive-date=18 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180418032057/http://oneworldentertainment.com.au/culture-club-encore-tour/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Scott Carne also announced that the band recently released a remastered edition of ''Shine'' on CD.<ref name="ScottCarne_RC40_2016" />
