Today, UK Alt-Punks Kid Kapichi mark the dawning of a new age with the release of their new single and video, Stainless Steel, that is a deeply personal track for frontman Jack Wilson. Stainless Steel is the band’s first single since the departure of longstanding friends and co-conspirators, guitarist Ben Beetham and drummer George MacDonald, marking the turning of a new page for the band. A number of UK festival appearances are set to take place this month that are preceded by a warm-up headline show at Bristol’s Thekla on the 15th August, the band have also confirmed an extensive UK headline tour for October & November.
