Found this back when putting some music (vinyl and CD's on my computer).

I know you 'Britts' gonna have some remarks on it. But at that time we had fun going to their concerts. They never made big money, but they enjoyed every bit of it. Put the volume on 10.

Their most welkmown song (in Belgium at least).

and live they were great:

The Kids

Biography

There are more than one band with this name:

1) The kids are a punk rock band based in Antwerp, Belgium. They were one of the first groups in Belgium to really tap into the power of the international punk scene which was erupting in 1976-77.

Formed by three angry dock(work)ers, the group evolves from pure energy on the first album to more varied and adult songs. Ludo Mariman (in ?Wit-lof from Belgium?) on the changes the band went trough : ?Look, punk may be dead and over. But that doesn?t mean we have to go away. We are almost a normal rock band now. We even have a slow song. We play better. We don?t spit on the public anymore, now we try to amuse them?.

In 1986, after 10 years THE KIDS decided to stop playing and LUDO MARIMAN started his solocareer. But in 1996, 20 years after the first gig THE KIDS held a reunion-tour. The first two albums were reproduced on one CD and a double album. THE KIDS will continue playing as long as ? ?THE KIDS ARE UNITED?.

In 2001 THE KIDS were 25 YEARS young and in december of that same year the Live CD FLABBERGASTED! was released. In 2005 they release a new single ?Freedom, Liberty, Democracy?. In 2006 the KIDS are 30!

2007 saw the release of THE KIDS ANTHOLOGY, a box including all albums between 1978 and 1985, completed with a DVD of a live concert recorded in 1982.

Were are those days? lol

wauw i feel me back young lol

hahah play that next week eric , we will have a party with yannick lol

actually remember this lot from back then - were a damn sight better than Plastic Bertrand - saw them once at a punk festival and have to admit they were pretty damn good live!!! (Is that an acceptable 'Brit' coment Eric?)

: )

Lyna, I think Iain *** insert humble emoticon here*** is better than me (but only slightly, lol

Geert >>>>>>>> we still feel young, no? See you within 10 days at my home, let the good things roll ..... pogo with a damned fat belly, hahahaha

Keeny >>>>> look at the answer above and we're gonna to shake our *sses, hehehehe

Iain >>>>>>>> oohhhh, it's 'Brit' with one 't' only, lol ....... at last we agree, but following your journals most of the time, i think we have quite the same wide taste of music .......... that's a long time ago that I could say something positive of a 'Brit'

Well Eric, it's lucky I don't view myself as a Brit then!!! Though it's funny that a lot of people refer to the English as Brits when they are in fact the least British of all the nations in the British Isles!! Oh its all so confusing...

Belgium has certainly come a long way musically in recent years; one of my favourite labels of the last 20 years or so is Belgian, and 2manydjs are also Belgian, as are Soulwax, both of whom are amazing acts (they are sort of one and the same, it's complicated)

And let's just say frittes and mayonnaise is one of the all time best snacks!!!!

: )

They don't seem very 'punk'- more sort of 'mod' ish.It's the kind of quality continental music that wins the Eurovision song contest.So did they win it?

Oh, memories...two weeks ago here was a concert of UK Subs, good old (64 year) Charlie Harper still enjoy in music...last 2 years we have a lot of that kind of music here _The Buzzcocks, Sex Pistols (on EXIT festival), Sham 69 (unfortunately without mr Pursey..), Discharge, GBH, One way system...it brings back memories, but sometimes I ask myself - did that old guys ever stop playing

tssskkkkkkk ....... everybody knows belgians can't be proper punks !!!!
