Yesterday afternoon, Kid Vinyl had the great fortune to be invited to a showcase hosted by One Little Indian for their new band Kill It Kid, whose debut single ‘Send Me An Angel Down’ drops on May 18th. Named after a Blind Willie McTell song, the quintet emerge as a powerful proposition, influenced as much by traditional blues musicians as more modern indie artists, and combining soaring and melodic violin and piano with often aggressive guitar, drums and bass, all behind the powerful vocal duo of Stephanie Ward (whose song Private Idaho is lovely)and Chris Turpin, the latter’s voice at times recalling Antony Heggarty or that growly one from Gomez. They’re charming too.
Adding to our growing collection of useless videos, here’s one of them performing ‘Send Me An Angel Down’ at the showcase, although actually you can only really see Chris and Stephanie 🙁
