Receiving its exclusive ‘First Play’ last night on Clara Amfo’s show on BBC Radio 1, beat-punk sensations Kid Kapichi have released yet another anthem in the making with their new single, “Get Down”.  Taken from their highly anticipated new album “There Goes The Neighbourhood”, “Get Down” is a playful account of a sketchy night out from the infamous pre-drinks to the dark and torrid afters, and all the close calls in between.

The POV-style video was shot on a night out in the band’s hometown of Hastings.  Speaking on the video, vocalist/guitarist Jack Wilson said, “We took the Stanislavsky approach with this one and thought the best acting was method acting.  Amazing how many friends show up when a free bar is on offer.”

Kid Kapichi’s new album, ‘There Goes The Neighbourhood’, is set for release on March 15th 2024 on Spinefarm Records.  It’s their third album in as many years, a statement of intent from one of the UK’s hardest working bands – a band who preach a message of urgency. It’s a record that does what Kid Kapichi do best – make a real connection in the here and now, running the gamut of love, loss and what it means to be alive in Britain today.

“I know it’s a cliche, but this really is our best work ever. We put everything into this record, but actively decided not to stray too far from the path of ‘Here’s What You Could Have Won’, as we felt there was still more ground to be covered and honed on that vibe,” says Jack.  “Lyrically and musically, it’s more concise, meaningful and deliberate, which ties everything together really well; it feels like a collection of songs from the same family.”

When speaking of the tour, Kid Kapichi said, “We are and always have been a live band. It’s exciting to release new singles, new albums and new videos, but for us, it’s always a way just to get out there and play bigger and better shows. That’s why we started playing music and it’s why we continue to do so. To be announcing our biggest headline tour of our careers to date is amazing. Playing venues like Kentish Town Forum has always been an ambition, and the fact we have the incredible fanbase that we do to make all this possible is a dream come true.”

Having gained an ardent cult following with their 2021 debut ‘This Time Next Year’ and the rollicking 2022 follow-up ‘Here’s What You Could Have Won’, Kid Kapichi returned this year with yet another slew of instant hits with ‘Let’s Get To Work’, ‘Tamagotchi’ and ‘999’, which follow in the footsteps of previous anthems, ‘New England’, ‘I.N.V.U’, ‘Smash The Gaff’,  ‘Rob The Supermarket’ and ‘5 Days On (2 Days Off)’, solidifying their position as one of the UK’s most exciting bands.

Kid Kapichi’s journey from their roots in Hastings to international acclaim has been nothing short of extraordinary. With a sound that combines the urgency of punk with establishment-challenging and socially charged tongue-in-cheek lyrics, the band have carved out a unique space in the music scene.  

Kid Kapichi are a band for the people and are here to help you party and protest in equal measure.
