Musicians and friends since 1996, Jason Choate and Stephen Thomas are the Gemini-twins and twisted minds behind Kids with Codenames. Genres do not stick well to these shapeshifting artists. Throughout their decade-long career, Kw/C have dabbled in every form of musical expression from acoustic folk and gangsta rap to drum&bass and ambient electronica. With roots as promoters in the twilight of the Atlanta rave scene, Kids with Codenames quickly made a name for themselves as iconoclasts. They were the first in the ATL to take Ableton's "Live" software to the dancefloor, dropping wildly executed house and tribal mashups in crowded clubs and afterhours parties. Now they've returned to their earliest form as singer-songwriters, fusing pop sensibilities and futuristic stylings along with a production ethos of "anything and everything in between." The result of this full-circle journey through art and time is a collection of funky, soulful, and sincere tunes that burrow out a place to live inside your head. Forever. Stay tuned for updates on the long-awaited new album.For a taste of Kw/C's inimitable "laptop funk," click here to download a live set from the 40 Watt in Athens.
