The newest band to hit Wellington claim to have quantum leaped here from the future - to rectify this world's relationship with technology. Alex the Kid, a four-piece "future pop" band have been described as a confused boy band, or the Pet Shop Boys on steroids, and have a mission with their music; to promote human and robot unity on earth.
They do this through a lively combination of electronica, indie and techno, animated in-between song banter, vocoders, synthesizers, guitars, bass, drums, laptops, Star Trek suits, and a highly visual, hyperlink rich MySpace page. Their endearing devotion to technology - evident through their dedication of whole songs to the stuff - would put Kip Dynamite to shame. - Stacey Knott, Salient Magazine
"Simply brilliant. From the midst of a musical globescape littered with the decaying carcasses of amateurish electro/punk bands surfaces Alex The Kid . . . ” - Martyn Pepperell: GROOVE GUIDE
