The band, of course, is entirely different, and it&#8217;s just Mickey Thomas providing the voice that really lets them use the name, but they do a decent job. Not stellar &#8212; the drummer wasn&#8217;t always on, the harmonies often weren&#8217;t very harmonious, and the duets just aren&#8217;t the same without Grace Slick &#8212; but not horrid, either. Even when it&#8217;s not dead-on perfect, it&#8217;s still fun to be able to hear &#8220;We Built This City on Rock and Roll&#8221; live.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  You <em>know<\/em> you&#8217;re in trouble when someone&#8217;s doing their nails during your set.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8212; Mickey Thomas, pointing out an audience member during Starship&#8217;s set<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you get a chance to see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickshaw.net\/\" title=\"Kickshaw\">Kickshaw<\/a> perform, you should, with absolutely no qualifications whatsoever.
