Kid Architect CD Release + Attractions + Poly-Opto February 11, 2011

In a world driven by routine, Kid Architect guarantees to energize worn-out musical repertoires. This frenetic foursome from Washington D.C. provides a refreshing musical outlet, especially to those looking for something out of the ordinary. Since 2008, the boys from Kid Architect have been cultivating their own unique brand of experimental rock. Driven by heavy piano, ethereal guitars, and a versatile rhythm section, Kid Architect delivers an explosive, clean, and undeniably catchy sound. Fronted by singer and keyboardist Thom Bridgwood, the band continues to propel their reputation up and down the east coast with powerful performances and a clear passion for life and music.

The combination of Kid Architect's professionalism and creativity provides the band with the perfect foundation upon which they continue to grow their fan base. Eager to rock the local music scene, Kid Architect wasted no time in writing, recording, and self-releasing their first four-song EP, "PhilosoRaptor," in March 2009. In slightly over a year, the band has distributed over 1,000 copies of their EP to receptive audiences in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. Since then, Kid Architect has been featured in a variety of local media outlets such as On Tap magazine, Washingtonian magazine's online entertainment blog "After Hours", the Arlington Examiner, as well as an interview and radio play on WEBR Fairfax Radio. The band has successfully left a positive impression on the local music scene, catching the attention of fans, listeners, and media throughout the area.

The Poly- Opto is a massive aural experience transmitted by classic five-piece rock and roll badassery. Spawned in the wee hours of the morning and inspired by the sounds of science and space, the group combines the organic elements of jazz and 1970s era funk with the mechanical shudder belt-drive of rock.

Consisting of five good friends who love to indulge their improvisational whims with blaring guitars and rhythmic drums, The Poly- Opto is "a roaring hydra" of evolving musical visions. Virginia Beach locals: Drew Orton, Jordan Parker, and Mike Johnson founded the band under the name Thundercock in December 2006. A year later Matthew Rogers, former drummer of Closer, joined the band and almost completed the ensemble with his unique mix of world music, percussion, and the haunting sounds of the musical saw. It wasn't until Ryan Chandler former vocalist for the Flash cast Joined that the band became a whole. With a fresh new sound and feel to the music, the band thought it was only right to change the name to The Poly-Opto; meaning many visions. These guys are extremely passionate about creating a unique sound and live experience that expresses their musical vision. With their extremely high energy and breath taking shows, the band has quickly begun to develop a following that is as energetic as the band itself.
