So it’s been a great year for gigs and the first gig of the year was Kid Kapichi at The Leadmill with my friend Scott on 4th of February and I was still dry so I drove.
Kid Kapichi delivered a blistering set, they are best described as a rock band with a punk venom hailing from Hastings.
They were supported by Snayx and Monakis.
