The Kids are Belgium’s
most important contribution to the history of punk rock. The Kids
were formed in 1976 in Antwerp by Ludo Mariman (guitar and
voc), his little brother Danny (bass) and Eddie de Haes
(drums). Ludo und Eddie felt that they couldn’t continue living
as dock workers after seeing Eddie & The Hot Rods and the Ramones
playing in London. After the Sex Pistols made it to the top spot in the Britisch charts, The Kids got their chance: because of their exciting live acts they got a record deal with Phonogram. Their debut album, The Kids, was produced by expert Leo Caerts , the author of the world hit "Eviva España". Despite his background, he managed to keep the rough sound of Kids alive. The record came out in 1978 and explosive titles like “No Monarchy”, “Do You Love the Nazis”, “Bloody Belgium” and “This is Rock & Roll” were the songs that got them started. Today. The Kids are considered as one of the most important punk bands on the European continent. Their music was always authentic and genuine. That’s what The Kids are going to prove at Punk!

Homepage The Kids „I remember the shivers down my spine seeing Eddie & The Hot Rods. I also saw the Ramones and then I knew we had that same music within us. Technically we could handle it, because you don’t have to master the instruments to play punk music” Kids-Frontmann Ludo Mariman |
