Space City Kicks is the 15th full-length solo studio album released by singer-songwriter Robert Pollard since 1996. It was released on January 18, 2011.

Pollard has stated that for Space City Kicks he "scrambled the titles of various classic rock songs in hopes that the new titles would provide inspiration...this particular experiment happened to work, I think. The titles seem instantly familiar although not immediately traceable.” ^[2]
