In the meantime, if you're so inclined, you can check out our albums at any Sonic Boom Records [http://www.sonicboomrecords.com/ or Easy Street Records [http://www.easystreetonline.com/ here in Seattle, Or online at iTunes and Amazon, etc. We'll be back with some shows and songs soon!

  • Very Special Show this FRIDAY!

    Hello Everybody,

    We have a very special show coming up at the High Dive this Friday, April 3rd:

    It's our last go around with the venerable Kevin Bray on the drums! So please bring yourself and your friends, as we'd like to make the last one with him a special one. Let's send him off with a bang!

    We're working on finding somebody to fill the big shoes Kevin leaves behind. And we do have some things on our calendar, so we'll be back playing live soon! We'll keep you updated - also don't forget to keep checking www.thekindnesskind.com or www.myspace.com/thekindnesskind for more info.

    And again, thanks to all who came out to the Crocodile re-opening show, as well as Easy Street Records show! Minus the exodus caused by a sudden lack of alcohol in the Croc, all was great...thanks to the many troopers who stuck it out for the music!

    Love ya,

    Nicolas and The Kindness Kind

  • Beginnings and Ends (and KEXP Song of the Day and Poll Results!)

    The end of 2008 has been a wonderful one. We released our 2nd record in November, played our CD release show with The Rosebuds, performed live on KEXP in December, and played an amazingly fun Holiday show - capped by having our picture taken with Santa.

    Plus we were just voted #4 in the Three Imaginary Girls' top NW Releases Readers' Poll
    -AND-
    #8 in the TIG Editorial Picks!!

    SO, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN 2009?!?!?!

    *Friday, January 9th: "The Lusk Letter" is going to be featured as the KEXP Podcast Song of the Day! Please do some of the following:
    A. Listen to KEXP during John in the Morning's show (90.3FM or listen live online).
    B. Download the song from the KEXP Blog.
    C.Subscribe to the podcast in iTunes.
    D.Subscribe via another service.

    There.

    *We're playing our first show of 2009 at Neumos on January 15th! We'll be opening up the night there, so be sure to come early and party with us.

    *A tour is being booked for mid-March. Down the coast and in a bit. We want to see you there! More on that soon.

     

    2008 highlights? Recording music in many unique spaces like the family farm was fun. Friends and animals hanging out. Kevin running around filming a zero-budget horror movie. You can't beat that with a tire iron or a stick-horse.

    And lastly, but definitely not least - The addition of Mr. Bryce Shoemaker on the bass guitar, in the nick of time to play the KEXP show to boot. We're excited he's around!

    We've had a great finish to the year.  Thanks to all for your support and your ears!


    See you in '09!
