Wikipedia article"'Bitter Desire'" is a song by Australian pop/new wave group Kids in the Kitchen. The song was released in April 1984 as the second single from their debut studio album 'Shine' (1985). The song peaked at number 17 on the Australian Kent Music Report. On 15 April 1984, the group performed "Bitter Desire" at the annual Countdown Music and Video Awards, where they were nominated for 'Most Promising New Talent' and 'Best Debut Single' for "Change in Mood". Line-up changesBy the time of the single's release and despite appearing in the videoclip for it, lead guitarist Greg Dorman and keyboardist Greg Woodhead had departed the line-up to be replaced by Claude Carranza and Alistair Coia, respectively. ReceptionCountdown Magazine said at the time of release, "if "Change in Mood" had been merely promising, "Bitter Desire" should seal [their] fate. That record is simply the best Australian single so far this year, and displays a depth of inspiration beyond any mere beginner's luck."
