   About Kid Champion
KID CHAMPION started life as a live band in somewhat inauspicious circumstances. Carrying their gear into a rehabilitation centre in Richmond, Surrey, the three-piece from Twickenham, comprised of Max Walsh on guitar and vocals, Davey Nicholson on bass and Silas Armstrong on drums, were quick to realise that Detroit Rock City this ain't.

Two songs later and they'd finished, only to have their stage invaded by a recovering heroin addict who lead them in a twenty minute improvised “jamming” session. Rock and roll glory was a distant vision.

Three years later though, and things have improved remarkably. In 2007, Davey was doing a stint working at the famous Sensible Recording Studios in Islington, London, where he met Jon Moon, the studio’s resident producer. Moon, who has worked with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Kings Of Leon and that little known band called The Buzzcocks was handed one of the band’s rough demos and saw their clear potential. They soon began working together.

Jon and the band are still working together, recording and gigging to demonstrate their unique sound. Still of relative infancy, they have already been played on the radio, on Gary Crowley’s “London Calling”, and are soon to be featured again, this time on BBC 6 Music for Tom Robinson’s “Introducing…”. With new single “Everyday Is A Holiday” soon to be released, the band are collecting fans and plaudits in the industry for their fearless, swaggering songs and catchy, infectious hooks. And deservedly so.

Before Kid Champion, all of the three members were playing in other bands, thrashing out heavy metal in London’s underground “scene”. Though they were finding success, it just wasn’t for them. “I was playing drums in front of people in Cannibal Corpse t-shirts with cheek piercings, while I was wearing loafers and floral shirts…” Max says “I kind of felt like the black sheep.”

So when Max started writing songs of his own, eager to get out from behind the kit, he turned to Davey and Silas and formed the group. Keen to avoid being easily labelled, the band quickly built a sound that combined an urgency and drive of post-punk/pop, with the complexity and musicianship that they had retained from their days playing metal.

“Now we play the music we want to listen to” says the three-piece, “We finally have the band we always wanted.”

With the talent, the songs and the personality that Kid Champion possess, it shouldn’t be long before their songs become what everybody else wants to listen to as well.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No trendy nonsense"! That's what Kid Champion have to say about their endearing mish mash of a sound, but we suggest you hang onto these boy's coat tales as they riot through a venue near you. With influences stemming from XTC to The Smiths, Kid Champion are certainly smarter than your average motley crew looking for a record deal. Unafraid to entwine jangly jazz chords with thrashing rock-out choruses, this is a trio of risk takers and we applaud them. Together just eighteen months, the band have already been in the studio for the past year recording their, as yet unreleased, debut record. Alongside co-producer Jon Moon, best known for his work with Amy Winehouse, The Kooks and Buzzcocks, Kid Champion have a lot to be smiling about and so do we if the demo is anything to go by.
Gary Crowley BBC Radio 1

Slick, catchy indie pop from the depths of Twickenham, Kid Champion certainly know what they're doing when it comes to penning a pop song.
Spoonfed London

Catchy indie rock pop….a combination of The Kooks and The Strokes It really shouldn't work, but they pull it off. Most excellently indeed.
Bugbear Promotions

This Twickenham-based, post-punk trio have more hooks than a tackle shop. If you're a fan of XTC, you'll probably fall hook line and sinker.

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.

This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!

It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm

As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
