Kid Sam are a Melbourne-based duo consisting of cousins Kieran (vocals & guitar) and Kishore Ryan (drums).[1] [2] The band's first performance was in January 2006, and they started getting airplay on Triple J's "unearthed" program in 2008.[3] Their debut self-titled album was released in 2009 to positive reviews[2] and they went on their first national headline tour in 2010.[4] Kid Sam were nominated for a J Award and the Australian Music Prize.[5] Their final live performance was in August 2010 in Melbourne supporting Grizzly Bear and Here We Go Magic at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne.[6] Both cousins moved on to other projects, with Kishore drumming for bands such as Seagull,[7] Otouto[8] and Where Were You At Lunch[9] since then. Kieran Ryan spent 2011-12 recording a self-titled solo album released in 2013.[10] The duo played a one-off show at their record label's party in April 2015.[11]
In October 2022, the band posted to their long-dormant Facebook page about a "12 year reunion" show alongside Carla dal Forno at the Bridge Hotel in Castlemaine, with a promise of more to come if it "goes well".[12] In mid-2024 they announced their formal reunion show would be at the Northcote Social Club in Melbourne on 20 September.[13]
