About Me


Kid Theodore on page 103 of SPIN
All booking is handled at [email protected] PLEASE do not message us on myspace about booking. merci.
Independent of a record label, Kid Theodore has managed to play major festivals and concerts including 2008 Sundance Film Festival, The Joint (Hard Rock Cafe, Las Vegas), X96's Big Ass show, and Spokane's annual Elkfest. They have appeared in SPIN magazine and have had many news and radio appearances including KEXP Seattle. Kid Theodore has also been able to share the stage with great artists like Snow Patrol, Ben Kweller, Voxtrot, Why?, St. Vincent, Dan Deacon, Ladybug Transistor, Ghostland Observatory, Zoe, Babasonicos, Arizona and many other artists.
All of these accomplishments have been achieved through old fassioned DIY passion and hard work.
"It's really hard not to like Kid Theodore. Their sweet and infectious brand of Indie-pop has landed them innumerable shows at Kilby Court, granted them a spot at X96's 4-Play concert series last summer and even taken them through Mexico and Canada." - Slug Magazine
"With the members of Kid Theodore jumping from one instrument to another as various band members throw instruments behind their heads and bang kitchen supplies with unmatched fervor, a Kid Theodore show can't be missed. Due to their dedication to their fans and their music, they're likely to impress you no matter what kind of music you're into." - Slug Magazine
“You might find yourself comparing them favorably to Cold War Kids. Major props to these guys.” - KEXP, Seattle
"The best show I've ever seen!" - George Foreman
"Poppy hooks with jangly piano/organ with guitar parts that merge to form alternative rock with gorgeous roots." - Smother Magazine
"[Kid Theodore] sounds like Britt Daniels fronting Wilco playing Belle and Sebastian or something. I don't know it's ridiculously amazing..." - Dreams of Horses
"With influences spanning jazz, folk, rockabilly and indie rock, Kid Theodore plays dynamic music with quality song-writing." - Slug Magazine
"Kid Theodore's intricate-but-accessible blend of experimental folk-rock jazz is a good example of what happens when you try to do a little with a lot" - Spokane 7
“Kid Theodore always gets the crowd hand-clapping, toe-tapping, and dancing to the beat.” - Spokane 7
"The set was energetic yet laid back, experimental yet familiar and filled with tons of percussive elements. The band played very tight, the sound was well balanced and getting into these guys was easy." - Daily Eargasm
"Their new album Hello Rainey never settles into a comfort zone but rather takes risks, sometimes exchanging pop for cabaret or jazz for straight-up rock..." - Salt Lake City Weekly
“Kid Theodore creates one of the most cohesive and organic albums in recent Memory.” - Salt Lake City Weekly
