Kid Cops is a math punk noise rock band from Chico, CA that evolved from the two piece band, Americas. These three friends have been playing in bands together since middle school and the sound has really progressed with the added low end.
Supporting Kid Cops were East Bay emo rockers, Midcourse Correction and North Bay indie band, The New Westerns.
Sadly, it looks like this will be the last show I see Thee Parkside. This iconic bar and venue has been prominent in the Bay Area punk scene, but with the uncertainty of the new ownership of the building, they are ending shows. It is quite fitting though that the last show I see is with my friend’s Casey (Kid Cops) and Travis’ (The New Westerns) bands.
The first show I saw at Thee Parkside was with Casey Deitz’s other band, The Velvet Teen in 2009. In 2011, I first met Travis Hayes when he was a talent buyer at Thee Parkside. I was working for Asian Man Records at the time and we met during the Asian Man Records 15 year anniversary show. That show inspired me to later move to this neighborhood in 2012 and spend countless times at this great bar/venue. I’ll be creating a separate post with archived highlights from the AMR15 festival, so stay tuned for that.
