Thursday, September 1: Kickstart the semester off on the right foot.

The SDSU semester starts tomorrow. Raineir begins his journey to post-college purgatory as a 5th year Super-Senior. What better way to start off the banishment to academic oblivion than a damn good punk rock show in North Park?

Checkit, yo: the KiDS are playing a(n) (awesome) Pre-Awesome Fest Party happening both at Bar 11 and the Soda Bar on El Cajon Boulevard. They're on at 11:35 at Bar 11, but the whole show starts at 7:30pm at the Soda Bar, and will alternate bands playing between Soda Bar and Bar 11 until 2am. There will be some sick bands playing this whole thing, so be sure to set aside your night for this. Read the flyer for more information. Until then, as Ryan Haynes says, stay weird.

Did you get the memo(s)? We have demo(s).

After three weeks of finding which two days to meet, and scrounging around for the art supplies, we have some cool demos. Using Aaron's lunch money and Manuel's dad's ten-disc cd burner-tower we made 60+ demos to share with anyone having ears to listen.

Nerds Rejoice! There are three different editions, each containing different artwork, (numbered!) inserts, and songs, some of which will be on the upcoming 8-song Mortimer Greene EP cassette tape/cd which will be put out by Mike O. at Lay Me Low Records. Soooo grab it while it's hot. Once they're gone, that's it.  Pick one up at our next show, locals. We suggest you give us however much you think they're worth. You can see when our upcoming shows are here. 

If you'd like us to send one, two, or a few to you, send us a letter telling us how much you love our shit, along with $2 (per demo!) to:

KiDS Say the Darndest Things
1593 Sherman Drive
Chula Vista, CA, 91911
USA 

feel free to specify which one you wanted. you will get a response back, and you will get what you asked for.

Lay Me Low Records and Distro

Good news! Our friend Mike Owyang runs a label/distro (and illuminati sleeper cell) called Lay Me Low. He's putting out the cassette version of The Mortimer Greene EP so thanks to him for that, and be on the lookout for previous and future releases by this upcoming label!

Raineir plays bass in a hipster band. Seee?

If you're into cryptic lyrics, tons of reverb, and nice clothes from thrift stores, check out Raineir's other band LEGS, where he plays bass and sings in falsetto tones like mickey mouse. Ian from Stopping Power plays drums this time around, and his girlfriend Edna completes the lineup on guitars, vocals, and complaints. Keep your ears clean for any shows with both the KiDS and their LEGS

A Prelude to Awesomeness-September 1, 2011

The KiDS (minus Manuel until one more year) are excercising their privilege to play more 21+ venues..sorry young ones, but San Diego sucks for local all-ages places, so if you want us to play, set up a show at your house!
 
I digress...check it out, we're playing an awesome pre-Awesome Fest 5 Party, spanning two different bars in one night. We go on at 11:35 at Bar 11, but be sure to see the other bands!
