Kid Dakota + The Lower 48 Album Release

After years of doing God knows what, Darren Jackson (vocals, guitar) and Christopher McGuire (drum set) have reunited as Kid Dakota. What follows is the briefest of histories. The duo released So Pretty (2002) and The West is the Future (2004) on LOW’s label, Chairkickers. At this juncture, Christopher went to Japan to play with a band called Quruli, while Darren forged ahead and released A Winner’s Shadow (2008) and Listen to the Crows as They Take Flight (2011) on Graveface Records. In the past couple of years, many things have been recorded at various studios with various people. Whether these recordings will be released remains to be seen. What is certain, however, is that a new Kid Dakota album will surface in 2016 (or early 2017).
