The Banzai Kid

Bio:

"It's not the way I planned" .. The Banzai Kid started out making stupid songs on a little tape recorder with his brother and his friends and eventually as he got older felt the urge to actually form a proper band. Every single band that he formed fell apart and along the way he found himself trying to keep creative by experimenting with sounds on his computer. This was the first stage of the Banzai Kid... Eventually, frustrated at his latest bands collapse, he realised that the only real answer was to be a solo artist instead and just "see what happens". He has since written many songs and performed them live on Open Mic Nights and fully fledged Gigs. .. For fans of the oldschool Banzai Kid sound collage stuff...check out http://www.Last.fm where there's the entire best of album: Blood, Booze and Bullshit - The Best Of The Banzai Kid ..ALL of the tracks are FREE to download. Enjoy!
