Mechanical Kids is a pop band based out of Southeastern Wisconsin. Originally an acoustic side project by vocalist Seann Bowe in 2008-2009, the project took a more full band aspect after Seann parting ways w/ WIth Hours Waiting. 
"Coming from many different Milwaukee local bands, we all kind of new each other in one way or another, so when we all decided to join MK, we all got along pretty well which made things a lot easier for us" says synth/keys player Tom Carrillo.



After a few member and name changes in the beginning, the band seemed to reach the "comfort zone" when guitarist Steve Pitzl from a local pop-punk band called Saved By Stereo joined; forming the final lineup known now as Mechanical Kids. 



Starting with just posting some demos on Myspace and Purevolume, the band quickly gained the public's attention after being featured in AP Magazine as one of the 2010 Top 10 AP Hometown Heroes. In late January 2010, MK also released their first digital EP (which is available only Itunes) featuring "Lemme Get It", "Wake Up!", and "Touch". The band was also featured as an up and coming artist in Issue #102 of Amp Magazine.



In March 2010, the band went on their first Midwest Spring Break tour with Joel Tock. Throughout the rest of 2010, MK has shared the stage with acts such as The White Tie Affair, Breathe Electric, The Ready Set, The Higher, Stephen Jerzak, and The Academy Is. The band was finally deemed one of 2010's Emerging Artists in the US Cellular Emerging Artist Series, landing them a spot as an opener for Tokyo Police Club and Passion Pit at the 2010 Summerfest on the US Cellular Stage.



Mechanical Kids, as of August 2010, has recently signed with Universal/Motown Records. The band is currently working on a full length album which is scheduled to be released sometime around early-spring 2011. 



This past year has only been the beginning for MK, and with many big things to come, 2011 is only going to be even more crazy. Expect Mechanical Kids to be your new best friend. #MK
