Arcade Kid

About Me

Exploding from the desolate streets of Blackwater, Qld, is the energetic, action packed experience known as Arcade Kid. Formed in late 2007 by members Simon Atfield, Ashley Gospel and Sir Ryan Christmas, Arcade Kid started as a pop punk band experimented with a new sound. By early 2008 it was realised that if the band was to get off the ground that a frontman, an iconic leading figure was needed. After a search for this figure, local music icon Matt Huxley of Stultified was recruited. With the band now realising their potential, practices started and in no time the band had built the foundations for greatness. Renowned for their instrument changing abilites and incredible song writing skills, Arcade Kid puts on a live show not to be missed. Having just finished self-recording and self-producing their debut EP 'A HEARTBEAT AWAY', appearing on national television, playing alongside The Screaming Jets, Heartbreak Club, Shannon Noll, and Troy Cassar-Daly, Arcade Kid has cemented itself as a force to be reckoned with in times to come. With their unique and ground-breaking style sound, and a vision for the future Arcade Kid is here to stay. Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!
