Kids (SXSW)

4.3

Experience Kids, an innovative art punk project that pushes boundaries with subversive music created within tight creative limitations. This official event takes place at Low Down Lounge, a vibrant Austin venue known for its laid-back atmosphere and support for live music.

Kids delivers a unique sonic experience characterized by:

Meticulous double vocals featuring Venezuelan guitarist Julio Prato and bassist Ani Kramer in dynamic vocal interplay
Minimalist instrumentation with no effects pedals, creating an irreverent high-energy sound
Idiosyncratic song arrangements and forms that reimagine conversations between lead vocalists
Cutting-edge guitar work, grounding bass lines, and surgical precision drumming by Colin Ferguson

Their 2024 debut album REPETITION VARIATION showcases their most ambitious work to date, blending disorientation, varied repetition, and evocative imagery into music that feels simultaneously familiar, humorous, encouraging, and beautifully uncanny. Perfect for anyone seeking innovative post-punk that challenges conventional song structures and celebrates artistic experimentation.
