Rock
Kid Gorgeous is a metalcore band from Buffalo, New York, USA. The band was established in 1998 by John McCarthy, Kale McNanney, Donnie Lewinski and Stephen Micciche, taking their name from The Simpsons character "Moe"'s boxing name when he was young. Their first album, Friday Night Knife Fight,was released in May 2001. With that the band set out on an East Coast tour in the Summer of 2001. Departure of bassist Justin Cuviello brought on fellow friend Mike Leahy to take over bass duties in 2002. A string of tours and shows, followed, with band and fellow label mates 7 Angels 7 Plagues, The Judas Cradle and festivals such as Furnace Fest in Birmingham, AL and Texas Terror Fest. It was right around this time when guitarist Steve Micciche started touring with Every Time I Die and eventually resigning to play bass with them full-time. Their second studio album, This Feeling Gets Old, came out in June 2003 released on Southern California indie label Uprising Records (4). Following that release, the band toured with the support of Buffalo band Asherah. Shortly after, with numerous member changes and other interests taking its toll, the band decided to call it quits in 2003. With a couple one off reunion shows since then, and after a 7 year hiatis, the group reformed March 2010 with news that they were going to record and tour briefly in the summer. A 10 day East Coast tour, followed, including shows with To Speak Of Wolves. In December 2010 the band started recording an EP at GCR Audio in Buffalo, New York releasing the song "Mermaid With A Switchblade" via their Facebook and Myspace pages on December 30th. On February 1, 2012, Eulogy Recordings announced that it will be releasing the EP titled "Blue Romance" which includes three new tracks, a re-recorded classic, and a cover on June 5, 2012. A day prior to release, the band made a stream available of their cover of "Living After Midnight" by Judas Priest on their Facebook page. Guest vocals were lent out by Keith Buckley (2) of Every Time I Die and Ryan Caprio who fronted ex punk bands Esperanto and The Budgets.
