New Saturday's Kids 7" and tour dates
Posted: 13th February 2012
Tagged: Saturday's Kids
The increasingly prolific South Wales band are back with a fantastic little 2-track 7"
Really a double A-side, "Grey On White" is out next week and is our first 7" release for quite some time. The title track is actually a re-recording of one of Saturday's Kids' older songs while “Black Pocket” is new and exclusive to this release.
You can hear both tracks (and pre-order the record) here. Fans of the old Amphetamine Reptile/Touch And Go sound really need to hear this!
Once again the record is being released in collaboration with Art for Blind and Time As A Color Records.
To celebrate the release the band are embarking on a short tour with friends Ono Palindromes. Dates below:
16th Feb 2012 Bristol - The Croft
17th Feb 2012 Kingston - The Cricketers
18th Feb 2012 Leeds - Escobar
19th Feb 2012 Nottingham - Chameleon Arts Cafe
20th Feb 2012 Portsmouth - Edge Of The Wedge
21st Feb 2012 London - Catch - Grey On white 7" Record Release show with Holy State
23rd Feb 2012 Newport - Barnabus Arts House - Welsh release show party with The Vestals and Effort, tickets here

Saturday’s Kids
Posted: 1st April 2011
Tagged: Saturday's Kids
Another fantastic band from South Wales, Saturday's Kids play the kind of fuzzed-up, grungy post-punk that's a breath of fresh air.
I love it when a plan comes together. Late last year I fell head-over-heals in love with the 7" that Saturday's Kids recorded for Art For Blind Records. This year I get to be involved in putting our their latest 10”. Good times.
Saturday’s Kids are still a young band - and when I say young I mean “ID’s-at-the-bar” young - and yet they’ve already managed to self-release a couple of demo’s, a split with their friends Evariste Galois, the aforementioned 7” and, most recently, a split 10” with Kids Return. They’ve also managed a handful of tours and a session for BBC Radio Wales. Now that’s youthful exuberance for you!
The self-titled 10” is a split release between ourselves, Art For Blind and Germany’s Time As A Color Records and will be back from press shortly. The lads are playing a launch gig for the release with their mates Harbour, Facel Vega and Oui Messy on the 7th April (Facebook event here).
I’ll put up a full band page for them here soon but in the meantime I’ve added a song to the music player now. “The Old Comedians” is just a glimpse of what this band sound like as they really do mix things up a fair bit - from mellow Sebadoh-meets-Codeine indie rock to messy and spazzed out Gravity-esque hardcore and back, more often than not in the same song! It's the kind of flagrent disregard for sticking with the same formula that made bands like Fugazi or Sonic Youth so good. Yep, this band are really rather special.
UPDATE: Added all the dates for the band's upcoming European tour to our gigs page now. France, Germany, Slovenia, Serbia and Romania - here they come.

Posted: 17th May 2012@RobWolfeCY I reckon the NCT are in league with Gina. An unholy alliance that'll doom us all. Though M&S will probably be safe.

Posted: 17th May 2012I don't say this without just cause... But I think Gina Ford is training an army. A middle-class legion of "sleepers" awaiting "activation".
