Aim Low Kid is a collection of working stiffs who
communicate their joy and frustration through music. Formed in the
spring of 2004 in a shared San Francisco flat, singer songwriter
Daniel Phifer recruited his roommate to play violin and began to
build the band as it stands today.
In 2007 the band released their first album 'Soundtrack for the
New Depression' (Tricycle Records), and after some lineup changes
headed back into the studio to begin recording new material for
the 'Music Ruined My Life' EP.
With a new violinist (who also happens to play mandolin and guitar)
and a relentlessly tight rhythm section, Aim Low Kid feels that
they've paid their dues and are ready to embrace all the world has
to offer. Sometimes that's a small club with a few scattered onlookers
and other times it's playing in front of modern influences like
the Mountain Goats, but it's always passionate and sincere. Simultaneously
depressing, resolute, optimistic, apologetic, and inspired the music
of Aim Low Kid is like a geode; callous and isolated around a core
of beauty.
The influences that Aim Low Kid site include indie rock classics
such as Built to Spill and Pavement, seminal bands like The Beatles
and The Kinks, and a little taste of every other genre thrown in
for good measure. Luckily, with schizophrenic taste in music comes
a strange hybrid of originality. Past
praise for Aim Low Kid includes:
"A ringing but slightly fuzzed-out lead guitar,
a solid but never perky backbeat, and an overall unwillingness
to let go of the best parts of emo make Aim Low Kid a good band,
but the singer's abandon and honesty plus some really messed-up
and beautiful contributions from violin/mandolin/saw player Ygal
Kaufman make the local quintet stellar."
