Kid John

Artist Information

Biography "...two west coasters trying to come to terms with their overwhelming need to experiment. We expect a whole lot more from this duo in the future..." -CBC Radio 3/New Music Canada

Recent CBC Radio 3/New Music Canada featured artist we just stole a car is the product of two years of planning and conceptualizing. Their first CD, 'a', is the product of a year's worth of writing and recording as a duo (kid john on guitar, electronics, drums, trumpet, piano, electric piano, percussion, and water, and peter on bass) at a home studio in vancouver, bc. The music is a combination of various genres and experiments with different moods and textures.

We just stole a car explores different creative mediums by pairing their music with visual art. Artists jessica jang and jessica groome provide visual compliments to we just stole a car's music through use of paint, slides, and dance.

The current live line-up includes:

kid john: guitar, electronics, trumpet. peter: bass kevin klever: drums. richard shaffer: piano. dominic conway: sax. jessica jang: painting. jessica groome: dance, painting.

We just stole a car's live show recreates a's songs with the addition of new members and instrumentation, and with an emphasis on improvisation, ambiance, and sound.
