King the Kid

Okay before I get into this I quickly want to apologize bc I haven't posted in like 3 weeks... BUT here I am.

Over the summer I was obviously really lazy, and spent tons of time on the computer. One of the main things that occupied my time while I was on the computer was YouTube. I ended up coming across an AMAZING BAND called King the Kid. I basically became OBSESSED (of course...) I watched all their videos and found out they had an album, and were even on tour with some other YouTubers. So I then looked at the dates and saw they were coming to Arizona! Sooo I got tickets!! I constantly tweeted them saying things like about how I was so excited to see them and such, and they would respond! I wasn't used to being responded to (since I'm used to liking really huge bands like One Direction) so it took me off guard! haha.


Skipping forward to the day of the concert (which was the night before the first day of school ). My parents dropped me off and I stood in a line for probably a whole hour waiting to get inside. But once I was inside I honestly just like walked straight up to the very front and ended up being front row. King the Kid came out 2nd and let me tell you they were AMAZING! Here are some clips of a few of the songs... (please don't mind the poor audio and filming skills)

When they first came on...
Let's not talk about David's crazy leg....HAHA

Name in Lights...

Tale of a Secret Admirer...

TOASA drum solo...
Take note of the pick in David's mouth.

After some other YouTubers like Sam Tsui, Landon Austin, Luke Conard, and Alex Goot, performed and the show had ended, the KTK boys came out to visit! I first went to David, we hugged and he said "Heyy I saw you rocking out!" I died, and we continued chatting for a little. Then we took a picture together...



After that I went outside on a search for Ricky. Once I found him he gave me a hug and we took a picture.

After we took the picture I started walking away but he took my hand and held it out in front of him and said "And what might your name be?" so I told him, and he placed his other hand on top of mine and was like "Well It's nice to meet you Reed." Sooo I gave him another hug and blah blah blah. Then he whips out his phone and is like LET'S ALL MAKE A VLOG. So then basically everyone gathers around for the vlog annnnd here it is...


THEN it was time to find Jose, which wasn't very hard bc he was a couple feet away from Ricky... I went up to him and he was like "Oh hey I saw your tweets!" taken back I replied with "YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" and he said "Of course I know who you are!" so I said "Oh my gosh I feel so famous." and he said "You are famous." HAHAHA! After that we took our picture. 


I knew I wanted a picture with all 3 of them together so I kind of waited until I saw that Ricky went to go put something in their van. When he came walking back over I was like "RICKYYYY" and met him half-way. He put his arm around my shoulder and said "Reed darling what can I do for you." I told him about how I wanted a picture with 3/3 so he gathered Jose, and David over and we took our lovely lovely photo. 


After that we chatted for a little bit and I left (since I had school the next morning). So once I got home OBIVOUSLY I had to tweet about it, and I ended up getting a tweet back! 



Basically they are such a great band, as people and talent wise. Their album is called Start Something and YOU ALL SHOULD GET IT BC IT IS GREAT. Recently on a Livestream they talked about how they are currently recreating the album and I'm so super excited to hear it!

Anyways it was a super fun night (I even went home with David's guitar pick!) and I'm really excited about King the Kids future. They will be big I guarantee it. Please get their album and help support them, I know they'd appreciate it.

Thanks for dealing with my weirdness...
Au revoir xx
