Leeds University, 2004. Local lad Ralph Pelleymounter embarks on a music degree. He craves musical collaborators and discovers that course mates Will and Josh are just the men to accompany his then acoustic folk ramblings. Gigs are played to wild applause. Joe soon allies himself to the cause, and shortly after Pete and Ian enter the fray. The jigsaw is complete and Kid iD’s musical hydra now has all 6 heads…
Since 2006 Kid iD have been instigating rhythmic bodily writhing in venues across the UK with their exciting and invigorating sonic stew. After winning the reputable Bright Young Things competition at Easter that year, Kid iD quickly established themselves on the Leeds circuit, headlining the Cockpit in January 2007.
Kid iD's sound soon traveled nationwide, selling out shows from Camden to Glasgow; 2007 saw Kid iD play alongside Pendulum and Coldcut at Bloom Festival. Their stock has increased markedly since then; 2008 featured appearances with DJ Food, Mark Ronson, Gallows, The Cribs and Turin Brakes, not forgetting their storming sets at both Reading and Leeds!
With BBC airplay, live sessions on Kerrang Radio, an exciting debut album and national magazine coverage, Kid iD have gone from strength to strength, rapidly gaining a reputation for their original and upbeat performances. Kid iD are now based in London and are on a mission to up the ante and pleasure more eardrums. Let the games begin!
Kid iD at Leeds 2008!
