Based in Israel, Kids From Nowhere call themselves an international experiment in American music.
Members includes Zach Wheat from Texas, drummer “Element” Yves Elisee Akowendo from Côte d’Ivoire (West Africa), bassist Elad Avni from South Africa and guitarist Babush from Israel.
Combining their love of Texas outlaw music, the British Invasion, and the proto-punk influences of Lou Reed and Mark E Smith, Kids From Nowhere are headed somehwere.
I loved Kick It In from the moment I clicked play. From songs Biscuits to Columbus Stockade Blues to the finale All The Things We Do, every track rocks! The production is clean, songwriting top-notch, and this one is going on a repeat for a while.
These guys have been active since 2007 playing in front of Israeli and American audiences.
Kick It In is their first LP and is now available! This record combines vintage rock arrangements with traditional songwriting and lots of noise to kick major rock and roll ass. Imagine ZZ Top meeting Stevie Ray Vaughan in an African desert to show these new age rockers who’s really the boss.
This music is bad to the bone but that doesn’t mean the crew doesn’t slow it down once in a while with songs like Bone Coast. This is one of those jams you crank up to 11, roll down the windows, and proceed to ride off into the desert sunset.
You should go grab a copy and do just that.
