"New Leaf" Limited T-Shirt! Buy one today!

Are you sad that you have no way of showing that cute girl or guy that you share the same interests? Worry not! Now you can really show people how playful yet sophisticated you are with a Linkletter shirt! Especially since they are limited to 15 shirts, you can notify your significant other that you listened to an underground band like this one before they were cool, and that you were lucky enough to get one at their show before they ran out. Limited Edish! Super punx! 

Pick one up at the next show, or better yet, order one online.

We have a new facebook page

We played a good amount of shows since we changed the band name, and felt it was fitting to make a new facebook page. For those of you that haven't been living under a rock for the past decade and have a facebook, come like the new page here. 

Nevertheless, we will still use the old facebook page until people get the hint about our interchangeable band names. 

You get it, you get it.

"The Dave Sessions" (live) recordings are up!

The band went into the Time Warner Cable studios quite a while ago to record some tunes for a show called "Yourself Presents." This is how we sounded, awkward mess ups and all. Up the punx. Chris Hopkins of Earthbound Recording helped out with the sound engineering; thanks Chris! Download the release and get pictures of the sessions courtesy of David Frazier.

Linkletter: New Name, New Bass, Same Great Taste

We changed our name. No more KiDS Say, and from this day forth we shall be known as Linkletter! We gladly and thankfully welcome Rick to the band, on the bass guitar. He plays hockey and drinks black coffee. He's a good friend of ours and we're still going to do what we do best, with less of the mess. Maybe more, depending on how much coffee we drink.

Rick getting hai. 4/20.

We also recorded a new song. Listen at your own risk. Thanks.

Changes are coming our way

Stay tuned...

Dutch Blog PLANET TRASH reviews (Sherman Drive, 3:37 PM)

PLANET TRASH, an online blog from the Netherlands reviewed (Sherman Drive, 3:37 PM). This is what they had to say:

"Het trio mag dan een onnozele naam gekozen hebben voor hun band, de muziek is dat niet. Frisse punkpop met wat emo-invloeden, maar vooral veel melodie zonder de scherpe randen uit het oog te verliezen. Vier nummers is precies genoeg, want erg oorspronkelijk klinkt het allemaal niet. Drie jongens die in een ogenschijnlijke saaie Amerikaanse buitenwijk de buitenwereld proberen te bevatten en net als iedereen tegen wil en dank voelen dat ze deel moeten uitmaken van de maatschappij. De band is in staat om voldoende verscheidenheid aan te brengen in het kwartet nummers om de teenangst te kanaliseren. Kids Say The Darndest Things doet denken aan hetgeen Dag Nasty in het verleden zo goed deed. Dat lijkt een prima uitgangspunt voor een band, al ontbreekt het de band nog aan voldoende groezelige gitaarpartijen. (Sherman Drive, 3:37 PM) is uitgekomen in een oplage van 150 stuks en verkrijgbaar op bandcamp van Kids Say The Darndest Things."

 

translated into English using handy-dandy google translate, this is what it says:
The trio may have chosen a silly name for their band, the music is not. Freshpunkpop with some emo influences, but above all the sharp edges of melody without losing. Four songs is just enough, because it all sounds not veryoriginal. Three boys in a seemingly boring American suburb trying to containthe outside world and just like everyone reluctantly feel that they should be partof society. The band is able to provide sufficient variety to any of the quartetnumbers to the toe to channel fear. Kids Say The Darndest Things reminiscent of what Dag Nasty in the past did so well. That seems a good starting point for a band, though the band still lacks sufficient grimy guitars. (Sherman Drive, 3:37 PM) was released in an edition of 150 pieces and available at band camp of Kids Say The Darndest Things.

Saturday, March 3-Rest In Peace Johnny

On February 18, we found out that our good friend Johnny Kordylas passed away in a fatal car accident in nearby Paradise Hills. He was a good guy, and one of the first kids we met in our neighborhood of Sunbow along with his older brother Joseph. He is survived by his father Wade and  Joseph.

A show is being held this Saturday to help the family to cover costs. All proceeds will go towards the Kordylas family and costs for the venue. We hope to see you there to celebrate his memory, and even if you didn't know him, maybe you can come by to hang out or lend support. It should be a great time with different styles of music--everyone is welcome! Thanks

GNOOZ: Tour recap, (Sherman Drive, 3:37 PM), etc.

Salutations, seekers of knowledge.

Back from a great weekend of shows with our friends in Aukerman, we're ever-ready to move forward with whatever's next on the to-do list. The shows were excellent, the chile relleno burritos were nice and hot, and we made some great friends in Pomona and Ventura. Much thanks to Nick Townshend for filling in on drums while Aaron he wiped old people's asses. We are forever grateful.

We sold a couple of these over the weekend:

See the full gallery on Posterous

We were fortunate enough to stamp them out before we left. Hand-assembled with care, and individually stamped and labelled (out of 150). Grab one at our next show, which you can read about here.

If you can't make it to the next show, order one online here 

Better yet, give it a listen now.

(Sherman Drive, 3:37 PM) is up for jammage.

BIG WET HALL. We came from mixing the new ep entitled "(Sherman Drive, 3:37 PM)" with our buddy Alex Jacobelli at the House of Wonders in Escondido, CA. We've matured since our last release...three-minute songs, tons of reverb...rockin solos, oooof. That's what a semester taking Existentialism does to someone. Don't do it!

We'll have tangible copies up for sale soon but in the meantime, give it a listen. Thanks.

Happy New Year, You Sick Fools!

To one and all, happy new year from the KiDS. It's been great, and we're looking forward to more nonsense. Last night we had the pleasure of gracing the stage at VLHS in Pomona along with the dudes in Rad Company (OH), Discretions (TX), Hands Like Bricks, and Horror Squad. Fun was had. Jorge Chiu was kind enough to take pictures, which we'll post up soon. Here's a video of our set: 

Thanks to everyone for making it possible. 

We have a show on January 6 in Santee to kick things off for this new year, and on January 9 in El Cajon. You can peep the details here. Thankyu.
