Beat-punk band, Kid Kapichi have just released their single and video, “Get Down.” The track also comes with the announcement of their next album, There Goes The Neighborhood, due out March 15th via Spinefarm Records. The POV-style video was recorded on a hometown night out in Hastings, with the song recounting the tale of a sketchy session. Check it out below, and find out more.
Pre-order There Goes The Neighbourhood here.
Speaking on the video, vocalist/guitarist Jack Wilson said,
“We took the Stanislavsky approach with this one and thought the best acting was method acting. Amazing how many friends show up when a free bar is on offer.”
This is their third album in as many years, a statement of intent from one of the UK’s hardest-working bands – a band who preaches a message of urgency. It’s a record that does what Kid Kapichi does best – make a real connection in the here and now, running the gamut of love, loss, and what it means to be alive in Britain today.
“I know it’s a cliche, but this really is our best work ever. We put everything into this record, but actively decided not to stray too far from the path of Here’s What You Could Have Won, as we felt there was still more ground to be covered and honed in on that vibe,” says Jack. “Lyrically and musically, it’s more concise, meaningful, and deliberate, which ties everything together really well; it feels like a collection of songs from the same family.”

When speaking of the tour, Kid Kapichi said,
“We are and always have been a live band. It’s exciting to release new singles, new albums and new videos, but for us, it’s always a way to just get out there and play bigger and better shows. That’s why we started playing music and it’s why we continue to do so. To be announcing our biggest headline tour of our careers to date is amazing. Playing venues like Kentish Town Forum has always been an ambition, and the fact we have the incredible fanbase that we do to make all this possible is a dream come true.”
