SUMMER HERE KIDS

 

Liquid

Hello!

We’re thrilled and delighted to announce our biggest headline show to date this August at Edinburgh’s famous Liquid Room. We’re even more thrilled and even more delighted that indie pop legends ballboy will also be playing! The magic date is Saturday 10th August and tickets are only £8 (+ booking fee), available now from Tickets Scotland, Ticketweb and Ripping Records. It’s a 16+ show for any of our younger fans who fancy coming along. We’re super, super excited for what feels like a well overdue Edinburgh shindig and are planning to pull out all the stops to make it our biggest and best show ever. Would love to see you all there!

We’ll be up and down the UK (and Ireland) in the coming months too, see below for updated list and ticket info. See you all very soon!

BBC Radio Scotland Session

 

Hello!

In case you missed it, we were Live in Session on Vic Galloway’s show last night.

Vic Galloway 8/4/13Look! Look at our absolutely wrecked faces after playing at GnomeGame.

We played

Who Would Want to be Loved?
Low Winter Sun
Sometimes (Erasure Cover)

What a night to be on the radio, eh..?

You can listen again to us and Uncle Vic here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rrfsl until the 15th of April.

We’re all still rather burst.

Have a gander at our gigs page for some exciting new additions. There’ll be some more information on tickets for our Edinburgh show at the Liquid Room on 10th August, in the next couple of days. Yeah.

Words about NTYAAD (click publication name for full article):

“The bands abundant charm and indie-pop antics as appealing as ever.” ★★★★ THE SKINNY

“It’s a shining, glowing example of the pure power that pop music can possess. ” GOLD FLAKE PAINT

“What we have here is a brilliant indie-rock album. As evinced on glorious alt-chorales like ‘Her Hair Hangs Down’ from the band’s terrific 2010 debut album, Shouting at Wildlife, MacGregor is one of Scottish pop’s most distinct, and promising voices. And alongside Kate Lazda, Rose McConnachie and Scott McMaster, he has crafted an outstanding follow-up in Now That You Are a Dancer.” ★★★★ THE LIST

“There isn’t anything close to a dud on Now You Are A Dancer and from the opening bars of the insanely catchy The Wrench there follows a slightly manic, utterly captivating 10-song arc of tales about alcohol-drenched break-ups, school-day horror stories and stumbling through the error-strewn experiences of getting older.” – FOLK RADIO UK

ALBUM OF THE WEEK on TOM MORTON and VIC GALLOWAY’S BBC RADIO SCOTLAND SHOWS week commencing 4th March.

Live review of first night of Glasgow Album Launch:

“They’ve evolved from DIY party-starters to serious contenders for the Scottish pop throne, with a glorious line in melodic alt-rock” ★★★★★ THE HERALD

Interview with the Kids:

‘Now That You Are A Dancer is saturated with indie pop tunes and fired by an infectious energy that would flatter the most commercial of charts should they care to accommodate it.’  SUNDAY HERALD

NTYAAD

*Due to a manufacturing issue, the vinyl has been slightly delayed. Orders will be posted this week with an immediate-ish (within 24hrs) digital download upon purchase. That’s right, we’ve ‘done a Bowie’.

Good day to you,

Kid Canaveral – NEW that YEAR a Dancer!

>
KID CANAVERAL are back!

Say hello again to David MacGregor (guitar/vocals), Kate Lazda (guitar), Rose McConnachie (bass) and Scott McMaster (drums).
>

Since the release of their critically-acclaimed debut album SHOUTING AT WILDLIFE on their own label Straight To Video in 2010, and its subsequent vinyl re-issue on Fence in 2011, the irresistible indie-pop quartet have gone from strength to strength to become one of Fence’s most popular and accomplished live bands. ‘LOW WINTER SUN’ is the first glisteningly tuneful taste of Kid Canaveral’s much-anticipated second album NOW THAT YOU ARE A DANCER, a mature set marked by floor-fillingly danceable beats and indelible sing-along choruses.

>

>

The single is being released as a split 7″ with The Pictish Trail’s ‘The Handstand Crowd’ on the flipside, out on December 17th 2012.   The Kid’s album is due to be released on March 4th 2013.  You can hear their new song on SoundCloud right now:

Kid Canaveral – Low Winter Sun

>

Now in its third year, Kid Canaveral’s annual CHRISTMAS BAUBLES show has become an Edinburgh seasonal institution, bringing together musicians, comedians and fans alike for a final knees-up of the year. The 2012 line-up features KID CANAVERAL, MALCOLM MIDDLETON, KING CREOSOTE & FOUND, JOSIE LONG, MEURSAULT, RANDOLPH’S LEAP, RM HUBBERT, PICTISH TRAIL (DJ SET) and many more among the guests. It’s become so much of an institution, in fact … that’s it’s sold out!
>
If you didn’t manage to get a ticket, don’t worry …  tickets have JUST gone on sale for two very special album launches happening in March.  Both shows are taking place in small intimate venues – so be sure to buy your tickets quickly before they vanish!
