Biography
Rozwell Kid is the rock’n’roll brainchild of Demon Beat drummer, Jordan Hudkins, who, with the help of his bandmates, creates music that honors the insouciant attitude of his LA post-grunge influences, without the sun-tanned decadence of some of his noise pop counterparts. Born and raised in West Virginia, Hudkins’ landlocked upbringing is reflected perfectly on his soon-to-be-released, “Unmacho,” which pairs music that bursts at the seams with restless energy and lyrics that grapple with the dark side of fun.
While playing drums and touring with The Demon Beat, Hudkins began writing his own songs, and in 2011, he recorded and self-released “Rozwell Kid LP”. Drawing from a variety of musical influences, including 90’s punk, Weezer, and the Broadway musicals he listened to as a kid, Hudkins’ debut effort revels in its nostalgia, while showcasing Hudkins silly-in-all-seriousness writing style. In October of 2011, Hudkins hit the road with his newly assembled band, which includes Adam L. Meisterhans (also of Demon Beat) on lead guitar, Andrew LaCara on guitar and vox, Devin Donnelly on bass and vox, and Sean Hallock on drums.
In July of 2012, the band began phase two of the Rozwell Kid saga, recording “Unmacho” with David Klug in Pittsburgh. The new record has a familiar sound with a new story, told over the course of ten songs that don’t let up for an instant. “Unmacho” will be available February 19th, 2013.
