Kids That Fly w/ Similar Kind 7pm & Peat Moss & The Fertilizers 10pm

KIDS THAT FLY:
Kids That Fly didn’t come up through industry pipelines—they came up through packed house shows at the University of Connecticut in late 2018, where sweat, persistence, and the hum of amplifiers blurred into something larger than just scrappy guitar rock. What started as a group of
friends chasing a rock & roll fantasy quickly turned into a band with real velocity—built on long drives, louder nights, and the quiet certainty that they had something worth chasing.
They earned their footing the hard way—grinding through the greater New York circuit while commuting in and out of New York City to record their earliest projects. That DIY momentum has since scaled into a bi-coastal operation following their signing with Giant Music, with recording sessions now spanning NYC, Los Angeles, and their home base in Connecticut. Still, nothing about them feels manufactured—the heartbeat of the band remains raw, urgent, and
rooted in the stage.
Raised between Connecticut and New York, Kids That Fly pull from a deep well of rock influence—channeling the downtown cool of The Strokes, the melodic sharpness of Weezer, and the emotional charge of UK bands like The 1975 and Catfish and the Bottlemen. Their sound lands in that rare space between nostalgia and now—anthemic, melodic, and built for volume. It’s why they sit naturally alongside bands like The Killers, Young the Giant, and
Arctic Monkeys, while still carving out a lane that feels entirely their own.

Press has been quick to respond—Atwood Magazine praising their “captivating indie rock anthems,” Music Connection calling out their “polished, powerfully fun pop-rock,” and The Aquarian highlighting their “fervent spirit, rock energy, and romanticism-laced narratives.” But the real story isn’t in the quotes—it’s in the live moment, where the line between band and
audience disappears, and the songs hit like something shared. Kids That Fly aren’t just riding a wave—they’re helping build it. And they’re doing it the way
great rock bands always have: loud, and without compromise.

 

 

SIMILAR KIND:

Similar Kind blends evocative lyrics, synth textures, groove driven arrangements, and saxophone into an alt pop sound. Their music has been compared to artists such as Japanese Breakfast, Benee, Magdalena Bay, and Hiatus Kaiyote. The band formed nearly seven years ago in Norwalk, Connecticut and has continued to develop through consistent writing, recording, and live performance. Their music is often described as cohesive and well rehearsed, reflecting years of collaboration. This connection is also present in their live shows, where the six piece band focuses on engaging audiences through tight performances.
