Kid Kapichi – MAM Song of the Week

Hastings four-piece Kid Kapichi support The Blinders at London’s Scala this week, which is the latest in a string of impressive support slots for the hard-hitting alt-rock band.

Latest single ‘Glitterati’ has already been made Radio 1 record of the week, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s another fuzzy, catchy powerhouse rock track from the band, and contains a relevant social commentary.

Vocalist & guitarist Jack Wilson says of the track: “It’s a tongue in cheek look at the materialistic world in which we live, where Instagram culture rules and people’s want for the next outrageous thing grows and grows.

“We sing, give me the glitterati because what actually is the glitterati? Obviously the word has a definition but when do the people who crave it know they’ve got there? A thing? A feeling?

“It’s a search for the unattainable to fill a hole that will always feel empty when you try and fill it with that stuff.”

The band play a sold-out single launch in Hastings on May 18th, with more UK dates to be announced soon.
