2010

nikku_b — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 05:07:01 +0000

Happy 2010! We have a ton of new songs in process, and shows are being booked for the early part of the year. March is going to be mind-blowing (both for us and hopefully for you!).

It’s time for a new full-length this year…in the meantime, our prior albums are available on iTunes and locally at Sonic Boom in Ballard.

A lot of sweet changes are happening in TKK land, so keep the eyes peeled. Thanks for a great 2009, people!

hello hello

we arrived in NYC on thurs and have been ruunning around wild enjoying everything till the wee hours of morning every night. we have been lucky because it has been really nice weather. 70s to lower 60s. yesterday was the only real day of rain and this morning as i lay in bed looking out over brooklyn i see nothing but blue skies.

last night we played Spikehill in Brooklyn.

the band that played before us THE LOW FREQUENCY IN STEREO was absolutely amazing! we highly recommend you checking them out.

It’s been a pretty amazing couple of weeks. Bumbershoot was pretty mind-blowing. One of our best times on stage, ever. If you braved the rain (and ran indoors to EMP to escape it) - we thank you!
Here’s a little wrap-up on Venus Zine.

If you missed Bumbershoot, you can catch us at Fremont Oktoberfest this Saturday. We promise 3 new songs, plus wholesome family entertainment (….).

9/19 in Fremont, Seattle.
We are on at the precise time of 5:55pm.
General Admission: $20 in Advance/$25 Day-Of

OHHH! If you happen to be in NYC for CMJ Music Marathon, keep your eyes out…we’ll be there. Before that? It’s demo time - keep your ears open, maybe we’ll sneak something out.

XO,

Hello.

It’s so windy right now, I’m afraid my windows will blow in. Anyway, a big thank you to everybody who’s come out to shows this year! We just wanted to let you know we have things coming up, just staying mum on it. We’ve been buckling down and working on new songs - coming soon. In the meantime, if you’re so inclined, you can check out our albums at any Sonic Boom Records or Easy Street Records here in Seattle, Or online at iTunes and Amazon, etc. We’ll be back with some shows and songs soon!

We love you,
Nicolas & The Kindness Kind

Special Show this Friday, April 3rd!!

nikku_b — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:59:37 +0000

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 show 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
