On March 1, 2007, without warning or explanation, Kids on TV's myspace profile was deleted. We had 14,000 friends and 26 events listings for an upcoming european tour. The tour is still going on and is posted here.
If you are interested in discussing censorship on myspace -- especially politically motivated censorship then become friends with Myspace Political Censorship and add some comments on the topic.
After creating the censorship page and revealing that myspace was deleting many gay/lesbian artist/activist accounts via the testimonials people gave, the media got very upset and published articles on the topic. Mysteriously and without communicating with us ever, myspace restored the deleted account in a state it was in some time before the deletion. Understand that because of the nature of the Kids on TV project, we may be subject to censorship by myspace again at any time.

"The live show of Kids on T.V has evolved from a raunchy burlesque karoke musical performance duo into a non traditional four person band. Kids on T.V. have built upon it's burlesque roots and the desire to break down barriers between the audience and performers by including live mixing of steamy visual projections, sexy dance choreography, songs performed
live musically,and the division between the audience and the band being blurred by band members break dancing in the audience, audience members dancing onstage and a ritual of call and response with the audience, all of which is done with a desire to create a fun liberating live experience."
