Born to an actress and a man in an indie band (www.redguitars.co.uk) music was absorbed by osmosis until it was almost abandoned due to the insane tendency of violin teachers to desire ultimate success for their dejected uninterested students. Their music was dead, he found, so was their religion. Ears were filled with Three Tenors Italia '90 World Cup and Beatles yellow submarine tapes. Melody was key. Older brothers' guitar twiddling invasions became too much at first, Chuck Berry rewound and imitated, each lick was dissected. When Adam found a guitar shoved into his hands songs began to tumble out and from then on there was little time to reflect. Life sped up.
Adam Kidd is a singer-songwriter currently performing with a team of top notch players, tentatively the band are know as The Adam Kidd Group or possibly Adam and the Argonauts... as yet undecided, so for live shows these songs are magically reworked by Aaron Neville (keys, vocals), Dragon (bass) and Ben Kidd (drums).
Adam is also known for contributing vocals and guitar to alternative rock group Kiyomori (www.kiyomori.co.uk) and forms half of an exciting new live techno concept duo known as the Pocketwatchers (www.thepocketwatchers.co.uk) . Adam has made one 14-track solo album - "...from the bedroom" (recorded experimentally in several bedrooms while moving around from 2001 to early 2005) which will soon be available to download at an online shop near you in all its glorious home-recording shodiness. Currently available at gigs for a mere £2!! Above you can listen through the home demo versions of songs for his second album, which he hopes to record with the band. |
