The Troubadour

Hot on the heel’s of a nomination for Triple J album of the year, opening for Daniel Johnston and touring with the national Laneway tour, Kid Sam will embark on a month long tour of Australia in March. Starting the tour off in Wollongong on the 18th of March the much-lauded Kid Sam live show will take in capital cities and regional centres. Along for the ride will be fellow label mates Seagull who will be opening all shows as well as guest spots from Deep Sea Arcade, Batrider and Mick Turner. Kid Sam having been gaining critical acclaim for both their debut LP and dynamic live shows so we highly recommend you get along to a show to see one of Australia’s most exciting musical prospects in action.

“This self-titled debut features exquisitely crafted numbers, delicate and considered in their composition yet intensely executed. It’s astounding that this is their debut.“ - Mess  and  Noise

“A new duo (of cousins no less) from Melbourne have really blown my hair back with their debut. Their lo-fi first album is stripped back indie rock, folk melodies, heart breaking chords and simply great songwriting.“ - Zan  Rowe, Triple J

“I’m blown away by this Kid Sam album. Its such a great album and hard to believe it’s their debut. I’m hoping by the end of 2009 this is as successful as it deserves to be.”

- Chris  Crouch   (Candle Records) Polyester Records

“That Kieran infuses his songs with peculiar narratives that play out according to his own world view, is a handsome and absorbing rarity.“ - www.thevine.com.au

“It’s an absorbing and enjoyable introduction to the dynamic style and range of the band’s work, moving through gentle, affecting acoustic melodies to more menacing percussive displays and thoughtful, heart-felt lyricism.“- Triple  R

“It’s their creative chemistry, and ability to create binding and timeless songs however, that sets them apart. With Kid Sam, the stars have aligned: attention to songwriting collides with an unaffected recording ability, a work ethic and a knack for disarming lyricism. Hallelujah. I bet they can cook too.“ - Steph Hughes, Triple J
