Pink Kross are probably unique in that they haven’t, until today, appeared in this, the longest running series on the blog, but they have been the subject of a tremendously entertaining and informative ICA.
It was the work of flimflamfan, and appeared in October 2021 (ICA#297). The 17 songs offered up were my introduction to a band that had been part of the scene in Glasgow in the second half of the 90s.
Here’s one that wasn’t on the ICA:-
It was originally released on the Abomination EP in 1995, and was one of sixty-seven songs included on Something For The Longing (Scottish Independent Pop 1985 – 1999), a 3xCD box set issued earlier this year by Cherry Red Records. It’s a box set that’s given me some more names to keep this series running a wee bit longer!!

Hurrah! The one. The only. Pink Kross. One of my most favourite bands – ever.
Punk Outfit live was a crowd pleaser. Although, pick any song…
Flimflamfan
A great band. I saw them in Glasgow and they described themselves as “the anti-Spice”… Quite right too.
I discovered Pink Kross because of that ICA. I’ve been a fan ever since. They’re played so regularly in my house their Arena stays is assured.
Never heard of Pink Kross before, but I like the song. It fits well with some of my favourite Cramps songs. [sk]
