Background notes
Archive material and source history
Kid Overdrive was a rock band from Los Angeles. Their debut album in 2001 shared its name with their most recognizable song, "This Isn't Rocket Surgery." That track became their calling card, a straightforward rock anthem that caught on with listeners.
They released three more studio albums after that debut: "The World Is Our Playground" in 2004, "Electric Empire" in 2007, and a live album called "Unleashed" in 2010. The band's lineup included Tommy Tibbs on vocals and guitar, Mikey Mayhem on lead guitar, Jimmy Jake on bass, and Dr. Dave on drums.
Their music sometimes drew criticism from conservative groups who found their lyrics and performances provocative. The band kept playing, and their shows were known for being loud and energetic. They stopped working together at some point after 2010.
