SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN TRANSMISSION - 02/05/2012
Saturday’s Kids officially apologies for the lack of updates on here it is a combination of laziness and computer retardness on our behalves. Despite the Internet laziness in the real world we have been running around like crazy. First off in December we did a ten-date tour across the UK with the always incredible Facel Vega. Here are a couple of photos that aptly portray the surreal nature of it all.
Thanks to all the promoters who put us on, and to everyone single person who helped us out.
Next up in February our brand new 7” came out on Art For Blind, Bombed Out and Time As a Color Records. Both songs off the 7” are being streamed here:

We followed up the 7” with another tour of the UK with Ono Palindromes where we hit Bristol, Kingston, Leeds, Nottingham, London and the Newport. Unfortunately Ono Palindromes pulled out after the first show as the singer and guitarist (also a very good and old friend of Saturday’s Kids) Andy Hawkins got a bunch of his teeth nutted out of his mouth by someone who can only justly be described as a cunt.
Since then we have also recorded two live sessions for the BBC. One went out on BBC Introducing in England and Wales with Jen Long at the end of February. We recorded 4 songs that included Grey On White, Black Pocket, I Regret You and Lying in Wait. Then the second session was for BBC Radio Wales and went out on a very special show, which was a one off show, presented by James Dean Bradfield. For this show we recorded five songs Black Pocket, I am a Runner, The Old Comedians, Lying in Wait and I Regret You. The session was aired towards the end of March.
And our final nugget of news is that in August we will be touring the UK again with fuzzy lo-fi bunnies Joanna Gruesome. Shows to be announced soon.
Our next show is with DZ Death Rays on the 28th of May in Buffalo Bar Cardiff.

We can’t wait to play some shows with this great welsh band, and hopefully blow some eardrums at the same time.

We are going to be doing shows from the 15th-21st of December, exact details we will announce soon. And the final show we have to announce is that we will be playing BOMBED OUTS NEW YEAR NEW START on the 28th of January ( a bit far away I know) which is an annual all dayer that Steve from Bombed Out Records puts on every year.
