Kid has a band he has been fronting for a few years now caled Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds
According to MOJO music magazine: Kid sidestepped the prevailing shallowness of that decade to appear on some of the finest records of that era- The Cramps "Psychedelic Jungle" and "The Smell of Female", Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds "Tender Prey" "The Good Son" and Barry Adamson's "Moss Side Story" to name a few. Songs such as "The Last Word" with superbly discordant guitars and anguished vocals, call to mind the first Voidoids album. Most of the lyrics on these songs wouldn't have disgraced even the most laconic of Warhol's Factory hands "It's the weather, it's the war/ I'm confused, I'm a whore."
