Kid British come to Preston
uLive is delighted to announce that Kid British will be coming to 53 Degrees Preston in October 2009.
The bands’ debut single ‘Our House is Dadless’, a Madness sampling tale of modern UK living, was blasted out heavily on the Radio 1 playlist this summer, amassing big support including the breakfast show’s very own Chris Moyles, and Radio 2’s Steve Wright - who played the record daily on his afternoon show. The record was selected as “single of the week” by XFM radio and Radio 1’s Scott Mills.
Kid British kicked off 2009 in fine fettle - by being sent to Coventry! After being personally asked by Coventry’s legendary ska icons ‘The Specials’ to open for them during their recent UK comeback tour, they were immediately on the road again, this time supporting another of Coventry’s finest ‘The Enemy’. The band then finished the lead up to their summer festival dates with a string of headline shows culminating in the release of the single 'Our House is Dadless'.
To reflect its title, the band’s debut album ‘It Was This or Football’ will be released in two halves, the eagerly awaited ‘first half’ is now available to purchase/download, with the ‘second half’ to follow on the 25th September.
‘It Was This or Football’ was produced by Stephen Street (The Smiths/Blur) and Steve Dub (Chemical Brothers) and mixed by Steve Power (Feeder/Robbie Williams). It is a modern mash-up of hip hop/ska/indie and electro pop, with sing-a-longs to die for! – or as The Guardian recently put it…. “They can also write tunes, really undeniable ones, the kind that sound strangely familiar on first listen, virtually every track on their debut album comes spring-loaded with a fantastic melody”.
Kid British play at 53 Degrees on October 12th 2009. TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW!
