Jack And The Kids are a four-piece outfit writing music centered on emotive & contemplative context. Blending rock with a hint of indie/pop, the Bendigo band couple enticing rhythms and ambience with soaring guitars.

The first half of 2016 saw Jack And The Kids being crowned winners of the triple J Unearthed Groovin The Moo competition in Bendigo. Both of their singles ‘Real Again’ and ‘Alone’ received airplay with broadcaster triple j & triple J unearthed, with ‘Real Again’ receiving significant praise from online outlets in Australia and worldwide. 

After signing a management deal with Melbourne agency Willow Artists, Jack And The Kids rounded out the year with shows supporting TORA, The Pretty Littles and Castlecomer, as well as completing a packed out Victorian tour.

2017 has started strongly with a support slot for British India, as well as studio time with engineer/producer Aaron Dobos (British India, Ceres) to complete their second EP, set to be released in the later part of 2017.

"Hailing from Bendigo, Jack and the Kids are an ensemble who know how to put a widscreen lens over their big indie rock anthems" - triple j

"I reckon this is what we would be sipping on if we chucked City Calm Down, The Jezabels & The Temper Trap in a blender. Promising stuff." - Bridget Hustwaite (triple j)

Yoo Soo Kim started hitting and strumming all sorts of musical instruments since he was 6 years old. A self-proclaimed multi-instrumentalist, he started with the piano and has since picked up the guitar, bass, drums, viola, violin, and more.

The diversity of the instruments he plays seeps into his music. Songs can range for minimally bare to lush and orchestrated. Growing up on old school Korean folk as a youngin' and seething on punk rock as a teenager, his music also carries a honed in eclecticism - a kitchen sink of different genres that, in the end, still sound like one distinct style.

Aside from solo adventures, Yoo Soo is the singer-songwriter for the indie rock band, Hemmingbirds.
