Local kid is a diy punk feminist kid collective based in bristol.
we try and make things happen. Right now, we are busy organising and promoting tours and gigs and things. we are working on the record label side of things too…
One reason we are doing this (besides the pure kicks we get from the rock’n’roll action) is to help create pro-queer, pro-girl, pro-participitory spaces where they don’t exsist – which is pretty much everywhere. P.s the music industry can kiss our shiny asses…
We are born of street corners and sore gums. Who we are…
Local Kid is a full time adventure for: Rosie and Michal
…but unquestioning time and support and candy come from: Natalie Bored, Lisa Cupcake, Irene Revell, Amy Lou, Run-Run, Kid Francois, Sam Jones, Melissa Warner, Nicole Schmicole, Baby G, Lollipop, Milla Vanilla, Lady, Villian and our friends in Bristol and around the country.
