Fighting Kites were an English instrumental indie rock band from North London, England.[1] They have been praised by Indie press and BBC radio[2] for their unique approach to contemporary instrumental rock music,[3] taking their influences from '60s pop/R&B outfits like The Shadows and Booker T & The MGs as well as Japanese Noise acts.[4][5][6][7][8]
