The band was formed by lead singer Stephen Shareaux, Michael Marquis and Gregory Hex on guitars with Rob Grad on bass and Johnny Douglas on drums. The band was sometimes accused of being a clone of Guns N' Roses. Others argue that the band's complexity and depth placed them on a higher level than the average band in Los Angeles.
Kik Tracee is notable for being one of many forgotten glam metal bands, due to the popularity of the alternative music scene, despite their technical skill and musicianship. The band had a very short stint on MTV's Headbangers Ball in the 1990s. Their sound has been described as being similar to L.A. Guns, Britny Fox and Faster Pussycat.
Dana Strum of Slaughter fame produced Kik Tracee's 1991 'No Rules' under BMG Music. Despite the failings of their first album which spanned music videos for 'You're So Strange' and the title track 'No Rules', Kik Tracee released the Chris Goss-produced 1992 EP 'Field Trip' before later breaking up. A video for "In Trance" was shot for this EP.

Music: Rob Grad, Mike Marquis, Gregory Hex, Stephen Shareaux)
So you think you know how to do me
Looking like an Aphrodite
I've never seen you work it so groovy
I think it's about time you got that right
She's getting ready to blow
It's getting outta control
Oh, girl you give me a rush
Velvet crush
Yeah, it's just a little too much, much
My little velvet crush
I saw her sitting on a swing in the sunset
She was swinging like an innocent child
But then she lifts up her dress
Letting me do the rest
I think I'm gonna dig her style
She's getting ready to blow
It's getting outta control
Velvet crush
Oh, girl you give me a rush
Velvet crush
Yeah, it's just a little to much, much
My little velvet crush
She's getting ready to blow
Why don't you just crush me all night long
The song "Velvet Crush" by Kik Tracee seems to depict the singer's infatuation with a woman, whom he describes as an "Aphrodite." He has never seen her work it quite as groovy as she does now, and he thinks it's about time she got it right. The woman is portrayed as being somewhat innocent, but with a naughty side, as she lifts up her dress and lets the singer do the rest. There is a sense of excitement and anticipation as the woman is getting ready to "blow" and things are getting out of control. The singer describes his infatuation with the woman as a "velvet crush," giving him a rush that is just a little too much.
The lyrics of this song may have different interpretations for different people. Some may see it as a fun and flirty song about a crush, while others may view it as objectifying and inappropriate. The use of the term "Aphrodite" and description of the woman as both innocent and naughty may be seen as a mixed message.

My little velvet crush
The girl who is the subject of this song is the singer's little velvet crush
I saw her sitting on a swing in the sunset
I noticed her relaxing and enjoying herself on a swing during sunset
She was swinging like an innocent child
She was playing on the swing with a childlike innocence
But then she lifts up her dress
However, she suddenly becomes sexually suggestive by lifting her dress
Letting me do the rest
Inviting the singer to take the initiative and be intimate with her
Why don't you just crush me all night long
Why don't you just overwhelm me with your love and affection for a prolonged period of time
