Kid Kapichi have been working hard for most of 2017 on the release of their first EP which is expected to be out at the end of the summer along with a brand new music video.

The group’s song Ice-Cream is a real fan favourite, but their forthcoming release Waster promises to be a real musical treat for Hastings Pride revellers.

Natasha Scott, arts and entertainment director at Hastings Pride, said: “Both these bands are real talents which we are so pleased will be taking to the stage at Hastings Pride and we do feel they are destined for great things ahead of them.

“With the support of the council, local musicians as well other local icons and organisations Hastings Pride is shaping up to be something that we can truly be proud of.”
