Receiving its exclusive first play on Clara Amfo’s show on BBC Radio 1 (January 31), Kid Kapichi release single ‘Get Down and accompanying video.
The beat-punk sensations have released yet another anthem in the making 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 music 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. 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.”
