About Me

Formed in early 2004, KiDDViDEO* combines a DIY ethos and love of synthetic music with bargain basement technology and retrofuturistic lyrics to craft a uniquely modern, sci-fi inspired, 8-bit electropop sound. KiDDViDEO is currently camped out in the studio recording their first EP, soon to be released, and remains busy playing trendy local venues to enthusiastic crowds.
