Kenickie were a 3-girl, [[ThatOneGuy 1-boy]] {{Britpop}}/{{Pop Punk}} group from Sunderland, UK. They took their name from the T-Birds leader in ''Film/{{Grease}}''. Active from 1994 to 1998, their career achievements included coming top of John Peel's Festive Fifty for 1996 with "Come Out [=2Nite=]", a top 30 hit with "In Your Car" and a top 10 album, ''At the Club''.

Line-up:

* Lauren Laverne - vocals, guitar, cello
* Marie du Santiago - vocals, guitar
* Emmy-Kate Montrose - bass, occasional vocals and trumpet
* Peter Gofton (originally credited as X, then Johnny X) - drums, keyboards

!Kenickie provide examples of:
%%* {{Britpop}}
* BrotherSisterTeam: Lauren and Peter wrote most of the second album.
* CarSong: Subverted by "In Your Car". The narrator enthuses about a boy's car... but she's not actually interested in the car, or even the boy, she just wants a lift because she doesn't feel like walking home.
* DownerEnding: "Acetone" on both the ''Skillex'' [=EP=] and ''At The Club''.
* LastNoteNightmare: Their cover of "Save Your Kisses For Me".
* LoveIsAWeakness: "Robot Song"
* NewSoundAlbum: ''Get In'' was significantly less rock-oriented than ''At the Club'', leading to a lot of TheyChangedItNowItSucks reactions.
* NoCommunitiesWereHarmed: Averted toward the end of "Lights Out in a Provincial Town" when the location, which is of no importance whatsoever, is unexpectedly revealed as [[spoiler:Prestatyn]].
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: One is mentioned in "Come Out 2Nite".
* TheOneGuy: Drummer Peter Gofton, the only male member in an otherwise mostly female band.
* OneLetterName: Peter Gofton was credited as X on "Catsuit City". During the "At The Club" era he was known as Johnny X. Presumably the reason that the songwriting credits at that time were given as full (stage) names rather than surnames only, was to avert this trope.
* OopNorth: They're from Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, and have the accents to prove it. They don't mind if you call them Mackems, but [[BerserkButton do NOT]] mistake them for Geordies (from nearby Newcastle).
* PowerPop: Especially on the first album.
* PrettyButterflies: The video for "I Would Fix You".
* RearrangeTheSong: Although "Catsuit City" fell victim to CanonDiscontinuity, three of its songs were remade as B Sides in the "At The Club" era: "Skateboard Song", "Private Buchowski" and "Perfect Plan".
* ShoutOut: The NonIndicativeTitle "Lunch At Lassiters" comes from the ''Series/ShootingStars'' tie-in book.
* SmallTownBoredom: "5am" inverts it, "Lights Out In A Provincial Town" plays it straight.
* TheSomethingSong: "Robot Song", "Skateboard Song"
* TakeThat: "Punka", against indie labels and especially Slampt, who released their first [=EP=].
* ThemeNaming: The ladies all adopted city names as stage names.
* WordSaladTitle: "Kamikaze Annelids"
