About Me

New Kids Underground had there first performance in front of the Prague Alternative festival audience in 1995 on the steps of the a legendary Archa Theatre, between the first and second basement levels. And they have remained in such a limited space up until now.
NKU´s sound is created by the current trio of musicians (bass and electric guitar, tenor & alt saxophone, Yamaha EOS YS 100 and Roland RS 50 synthesizers) and a CD player with pre-prepared sounds, musical motifs and rhytms.
NKU´s musicial affinity is driven up the stairs to The Residents and then right back down to Kraftwerk, Jello Biafra, David Thomas and the Plastic People Of The Universe, all with the declamation of texts by Ch. Morgenstern, M. Topinka, V. Hrtan, E. Bondy. But NKU also spreads the poetry close to lost childish souls and teenage, intellectually - wanting girls.
