Kid Montana began as an alter-ego for Belgian musician Jean-Marc Lederman (The Weathermen/Jules et Jim) in 1981. He released an EP entitled Statistics Mean Nothing When You Get On The Wrong Plane in early 1982. Following this, he was joined by American singer Dudley Kludt (The Magnetic Fields, Flare Acoustic Arts League) for the remainder of the group's lifetime. They released a further few EPs before working on their first full-length album Temperamental. A double A-side single was released from the album, "Still Colours Waiting"/"Spooky", and promotional videos for both tracks got some airplay on European music shows.
Kid Montana split in 1987. Belgian label Les Disques du Crépuscule re-issued the album Temperamental on CD in 1990 with bonus tracks. The album, along with the compiled EPs, were remastered and reissued as a 2-CD collection in August 2008 by LTM Recordings.
