The Northwest rock band MEDIUM SIZE KIDS is pleased to announce their first concert tour coming up this summer.
MSK will kick off their “Medium Size Tour” at the Black Forest Indoor Theater in Eugene, OR on June 14. Dates are being set for other venues, and they are hard at work getting their next EP produced.
“We’re pretty excited about the tour,” said band member, John Doyle. “It’s a West coast tour that will start in Eugene and end in Los Angeles.”
MSK, which has recorded and released six songs to-date, has already completed two additional songs for the EP and tour.
The first of these two new songs is titled “Common Feeling,” which is about first impressions.
“It’s very fast-paced,” said band member, Joseph Kashas. “We could release it now. It’s all done and ready to go. And it has a Latin ending. It’s pretty cool.”
The second song, still untitled, is about things that get lost in translation.
“We talk about the challenges of dealing with a person affected by substance abuse,” said Doyle.
MSK also recently added a keyboard player, Kaylee Hillman. Hillman grew up locally, and then spent time in Arizona attending college. Her addition to the band adds new dimensions.
Band’s New Addition
“We’re really excited to have her,” said band member, Shane Moffett.
Hillman currently attends Clark College and is learning how to play the guitar.
“I’m looking forward to it all,” said Hillman.
The band has been busy doing shows and house parties. They recently did a benefit show that raised money to fight human trafficking.
The group continues to gain momentum, and a growing fan base.
“We love to see kids like our music,” said Moffett. “We recently had an 11 year-old play guitar with us at a concert.”
For now, the band is developing and recording new music.
“We hope to be ready in the next couple months with new music and be ready as a four-piece,” said Doyle.
