Kitch on stage


Kitch... where to begin? They're a crazy bunch, that's for sure! Playing their first ever proper gig in Tim Peaks, they're off to a good start. Surely this is an indication of what's to come- things are only going to get weirder!

Hailing from Scotland, these guys seem to create a buzz wherever they go. They're constantly excited or up to no good, except from that one ten minutes where they just felt a bit bored...

Adorned with Tim Peaks badges and headbands, they took to the stage with an energy that was immediately met by the audience. Within seconds, a swarm of super fans appeared out of nowhere and began to dance. Some were even escorted from the diner for psychedelic reasons*. Despite forgetting their mascot, this band played brilliantly, with my personal highlights being 'Pilosed' and 'Chip Shop'.

During their set, Dan was attacked by a rowdy fan*, but fortunately Blair came to his rescue, showing just how close this 5 piece are. The band also seemed to recall several incidences of pyro*, which are as of yet still unconfirmed...

I told you they were a crazy bunch!

Overall, this was a great set that won over several new fans. Afterwards, I was given a copy of the new EP, a review will be coming soon! We were also taken on a mission to the mud bath that was general camping, where we were lucky enough to meet Phil Mitchell, mascot to Kitch. Sadly, he didn't make it through the weekend, suffering from an unfortunate incident with a hammer and lost legs. However, the five minutes we spent with him were a pleasure. He certainly was a stylish peacock!

*Starred events were entirely fictional and happened only in the minds of the band.

Phil Mitchel

We also got to interview Kitch...

What was it like playing in Tim Peaks diner?

It was cool, yeah. It was busy! This was our first gig, well, our first proper gig! It was really different.

What's the deal with your mascot?

Oh, Phil Mitchel! He's a big, metal bird. I don't know what he does but he's our mascot.

And where did he get his name from?

*Laugher*

We probably shouldn't tell you if you're going to write it down somewhere...

What are your plans for the rest of the year?

Write more songs and get as many gigs as possible.

And finally, if you could be any kind of pie, what would it be?

Cherry! Apple! Come and meet Phil Mitchel later on! We'll see you later!

Thanks guys! You really are a lovely gang.
