Description
Combining the energy of alt. rock with the
melodic sensibilities of power pop, Big Kid sets out
to do one thing.... deliver a driving song. Drawing on
the influences of such artists as Brian Wilson, Jason Falkner, the Beach Boys, and Jellyfish, the members of "BK" believe there's nothing
more exciting or infectious than a great
tap-your-steering wheel, sing-along melody.
Started in San Diego, California in the fall of 2002,
Big Kid grew out of a number of songwriting sessions
between guitarist Damian Hagger and drummer Steve
Clark (who, coincidentally, attended the Berklee
College of Music at the same time in the mid-90's, but
didn't know each other). As their songs began to take
shape and grow, the idea of starting a full-fledged
band came into focus. Adding Steve's brother, Doug, on
bass and working with Los Angeles based vocalist Ken
Stacey, the band took to the studio in April 2003 to
record their debut CD.
While in pre-production for the CD, the band
approached David Bash, promoter and manager of the
highly successful, annual International Pop Overthrow
with a few of their early demos. Excited by the music,
David invited Big Kid to perform at the 2003 IPO
showcase in Los Angeles, as well as invited them to be
included on the 2003 International Pop Overthrow
compilation CD (released on the Not Lame
Recording label).
During this period, Steve, Doug and Damian, also began
talking with singer/guitarist Craig Henry, a friend
and former musical cohort from Los Angeles, about
joining Big Kid. A talented singer and actor, Craig
brought a sense of excitement and energy to Big Kid's
live performances.
"You Must Be Kidding" has received numerous accolades since its release. One of the songs, "Pop Song", was a top ten finalist in the 2003 USA National Songwriting Competition (http://www.songwriting.net/winners.html). In addition, three of the songs ("Feather", "Pop Song" & "The Girl is Alright") were included on the DVD of the hit MTV show "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County".
Big Kid now plays occasional gigs in Los Angeles.
