The Kissingers were formed when Luke and Bertie realised that buying a jacuzzi was an impractical way of attracting more women. They decided to start a band and texted an unsuspecting Nico who, despite having no idea who had sent the text, agreed to attend band practice that very evening in a house he had never visited before. Fargie happened to live there, and the rest is history. Little did they know that small Leamington-based guitar bands are no way to attract women.
