18 July 1968: Made it through the birth canal. Screamed a lot, I suppose but it was good to be here. Until spring 1978: Probably spent my time eating lots and growing up. Played a lot in nearby forest, North Germany. Some time in 1978: Got my first guitar and started to take lessons with a very patient and beardy teacher who also had a fondness for home knitted cardigans and vests. Germany discovered bio-dynamically grown produce and I learned to play Bach and The Beatles on a Spanish acoustic guitar.

There are three artists with this name: (1) KiDDO sound like a musical ménage à trois between The Strokes, U2 and The Killers. More fun than a High School Musical Sing-along at a silent disco, these purveyors of riff-laden indie-pop are probably the sound of tomorrow… if the sound of tomorrow turns out to be riff-laden indie-pop. Which they reckon it will. “KiDDO have a fine line in maximum rock and roll, enough hooks to hang tonight’s huge curtains on and anthems that burrow into the brain” – NME
