As British as a great day out by the seaside, as British as fish and trips, as British as broken families and sink estates, as British as laughing in the rain, as British as banter in the face of adversity, as British as the classic pop that echoes through the decades, as British as the multiracial pop that soundtracks our lives- Kid British are the 21st century punky reggae party.
They are the sound of the mash up of music styles that fast forward their way throughout modern UK. †They are the party political broadcast from the 24-hour party people. A multiracial, multi ethnic reflection of modern Blighty.
Whilst Kid British don't flinch from the real world they also, like their forbearers like the Kinks, Madness, Specials and a box full of classic Motown seven inches, never flinch from pop music and their gigs are a rowdy celebration of the good times and the community spirit of great music. They have supported the Specials and The Enemy and last year did their own October headline sell out tour and most of festivals typified by a packed out riotous performances at V.
Their gigs are sweaty, wild celebrations of being young and alive with stage invasions and wild camaraderie that recalls everything that was great about the Specials in their heyday.
Their live audience celebrates all generations of British pop. Dancing on the bones of the classics and putting them into the new century, there’s a whiff of Motown, the party clatter of primetime bluebeat, the skinhead moonstomp of primetime ska, the sense of space and time of reggae, the psychic dancehall of stomping northern soul and the timeless action! time! vision! of classic British beat and always those great melodies.
