Album Release "Mixing Business with Pleasure" on Chicks on Speed Records - Released April 2007
"Mixing Business with Pleasure" explores the worlds of punk, no-rave, electro, booty house and experimental rock. They reference many elements of queer history and the artists who inspire them. The album was recorded and produced by KIDS ON TV in Toronto between 2003 and 2006 on a busted laptop and two microphones. The album was mastered by the amazing Larry Kramer, founder of Shimmy Disc (Galaxy 500, GWAR et.al). Includes video for Breakdance Hunx.
Chochotte is a queer-oriented, electropunk and new rock compilation including unreleased material, remixes or rare versions of emergent & established artists who make today the electro and/or queer scene. Chochotte helps for the visibily of artists who work on gender and identity but is open, in a larger way, to all visual, radical artists who propose a new way to do music, be music, show music. Chochotte is a compilation about freedom, fights against all forms of censorship and Chochotte is of course about FUN. Chochotte is a digital compilation created by Chose Chaton produced by Discolala Records and distributed by Believe.

"The live show of Kids on T.V has evolved from a raunchy burlesque karoke musical performance duo into a non traditional four person band. Kids on T.V. have built upon it's burlesque roots and the desire to break down barriers between the audience and performers by including live mixing of steamy visual projections, sexy dance choreography, songs performed
live musically,and the division between the audience and the band being blurred by band members break dancing in the audience, audience members dancing onstage and a ritual of call and response with the audience, all of which is done with a desire to create a fun liberating live experience."
On March 1, 2007, without warning or explanation, Kids on TV's myspace profile was deleted. We had 14,000 friends and 26 events listings for an upcoming european tour. After a protracted battle in the media myspace re-instated the page. Google "Kids on TV, myspace, censorship" and you'll get the media history of these events.
Thank you so much!!! We totally want to go to Toronto and play eventually, just not sure when. We'll work something out soon, maybe for us to go or for u guys to come here...CHEERS!
