Kill It Kid
Kill It Kid in concert
Kill It Kid will visit Spain this summer to present their newest release. This young British band brings us a new music style, the “New British Blues”, which combines the best blues with distorted grunge and even doses of American folk and country, joined by impenetrable riffs with unmitigated emotion. Barcelona will be the first city to enjoy them live, with a show on June 5th at BeGood and will be followed by Madrid, with a concert at Moby Dick on the 6th.
Tickets are on sale through doctormusic.com and ticketmaster.es, also at FNAC, Viajes Carrefour and Halcón Viajes or by telephone at 902 15 00 25 and other Ticketmaster outlets. The ticket price is 14 Euros (booking fees not included).
The band, in love with the American blues, was formed in 2008 when the vocalist and guitarist Chris Turpin discovered the blues under the spell of Robert Johnson and Blind Willie McTell. "I bought a Robert Johnson compilation for just a few pounds" he recalls. "I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was the most potent, intense guitar music and single voice I'd ever experienced. I had never heard anything like it before. That's why I started a band. I wanted to capture that same essence", said Chris.
So, like any good bluesman, Turpin took his acoustic guitar and started performing - constantly. Playing three times a week at open mic nights, he developed impressive chops both instrumentally and vocally. Soon, other musicians began to take notice. Drummer Marc Jones approached him, followed by co-vocalist and pianist Stephanie Ward. In 2008, taking their name from a Blind Willie McTell tune, Kill It Kid was formed. Over the course of the next four years, they toured hard and grew a loyal following, releasing music via London Indie label One Little Indian Records—home to none other than Sir Paul McCartney. During that period, they rounded out their line-up with bassist Dom Kozubik, and in 2012 the band signed for Sire Records (Warner Music).
Now, Kill It Kid arrive at a crossroads between unadulterated blues catharsis, tight rock 'n' roll song writing, pensive folk musings and distorted grunge attitude. After two studio albums, 2014 brought us their third reference, You Owe Nothing. The album catches that passion that Chris described, in songs such as “Caroline”. "The song discusses love and loss. That idea sums up what the record is really about. It walks the line between being a devout love song and a heartbroken, despairing breakup song, depending on how you listen to it." This first single collects Kill It Kid essence from a record full of hymns such as “I'll Be The First", "Don't It Feel Good" or "Blood Stop Run”.
These young blues, rock and American folk lovers will be touring in 2015 to catch us on the most honest and sincere way.
