RED KID

BALCONYTV.COM 28/04/2007
PRESENTED BY TOM MILLETT
Red Kid draw on the rawness of late 70´s new wave, ska and punk, and inject it with freshness difficult to pin down. Their live shows are legendary with the boundless energy of lead singer Ronan and the tight backbeat, killer harmonies of the band, it has been described as effortlessly swinging from punk to pop.
Founded in 2003, they have a shoeless craz'd front-man, a busker from the streets of Barcelona, a drummer with a wacky style of beats, one Beatle-esk Liverpool rocker and a giant of a bass player.
"Nobody told me..." Recorded over the past 13 months in Pulse Studios Dublin. Tony Perry and Billy Farrell recorded and produced.
Red kid have been chosen by O2 for their "Making Waves" new acts of 2007.
Their single "Rocket ship"(a radio release), has made the play-lists on all genres of radio stations from national to underground, and it is also picking up interest in the US. Hot Press tipped it for single of the fortnight.
Red Kid have played shows in Germany, Switzerland, Spain, UK, Italy. Last year red kid played festivals such as the Hard Working Class Heroes, and "mantua" with more planned for 2007 with Nokia selecting them for their new tallent of 2007.
Red Kid's music has also been used in the movie "The Silver Surf safari", due for release 2007. TV ads for Bend in the River wine, "Top up Magazine" launch and an extreme sports documentary on canoeing and Kayaking.
