Big Kids

Bio

Big Kids capture the bliss of playing music with your good friends, touring in a shitty van, playing killer house shows and seeing life through the prism of punk rock. Melodies and dirt, sing-alongs and feedback, relationships and ideas...all are represented on their debut LP, Hoop Dreams. If you dig bands like Small Brown Bike, Bear Vs. Shark, or New Bruises, this band is already your next favorite.

Big Kids.

Things of note and other things as well. About our bands. Tue, Dec 20, 2011

The Clippers are now writing a new (THEIR FIRST!!!) full-length!�Check out some rad new Clippers updates on their blog here.
The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die is also currently writing their first full length. It will be largely forgettable. I don’t even know why they try anymore.�Read an interview Greg Horbal did on AP about TWIABP here, by the way. Good read.
Caravels�is also writing for a new full length record but that will take awhile. They’re nice and all, but just kinda slow.
The You Blew It!�record is recorded. I’ve heard it. It’s brilliant. The art even looks good. It’s like a REAL record, you guys. It’ll be getting mixed and mastered soon and we’ll have details on the pre-order soon as well.
We should have the Prawn records in within the next two weeks! I for one, can’t wait. I listened to You Can Just Leave It All twice today to celebrate. I suggest you do the same.
Oh, yeah. EMPIRE! EMPIRE! (I WAS A LONELY FRIGGIN’ ESTATE) IS ALSO WRITING A NEW RECORD! :D!!! The chopped liver of Topshelf Records, you guys.
Slingshot Dakota have a new record that THEY are working on as well! But you already knew this, you savvy internet user, you, because we announced this recently and you definitely read it then.
SIRS have a new record they’re working on as well (is a trend�developing�in this post?). My future self just teleported in and told me it’s on my “Best of 2012” list (the world doesn’t end, also).
The Saddest Landscape’s After the Lights will be in within the next three or so weeks. Not in time for Christmas, please stop asking me if it will be in your mailbox in time for Christmas.
Speaking of Christmas,�By Surprise has a new holiday song. Listen to it here or you’ll get fruitcake in the gift swap.
I think�We Were Skeletons are eating burritos and being cute somewhere. They’re also about to head overseas for a pretty awesome tour with The Saddest Landscape. Dates are here for you under-a-rock-dwellers.
A Great Big Pile of Leaves just announced a new tour with Young Statues and Mansions. Dates for that are here. I’d watch that line up every night if I could.
Into It. Over It. (henceforth referred to as “Evan”) sprained his foot. Awwwwwww. Send him some love.
Pianos Become the Teeth are cooking spaghetti and synchronized farting together. They’re also playing a STACKED record release show in January that you’d be mad not to attend. They’re also going on a little overseas jaunt with Touche Amore.
Here is a picture of Big Kids that I like.

Seeeee ya.
