Kid Radio are unlike any other Auckland covers band. Their songlist contains no trace of the tired pub hits of yesteryear. Instead, they’ve assembled a repertoire loaded with nothing but pure dynamite - the jams that other bands can’t touch. If names like Prince, Kanye, Stevie, Justin, Luther and Michael mean something to you, this is your band.
The band effortlessly mash up the biggest, baddest hits of pop, hip hop and R’n’B. Featuring dual frontmen Sam Allen and Mal Lakatani on guitars, legendary rhythm section Stephen Thomas and Isaac Etimani on drums and bass and the masterful keyboards and arrangements of Michal Martyniuk, the band have changed the game, setting a new standard for live entertainment in New Zealand.
After a few years of setting Auckland dancefloors alight and filling the place to capacity every Friday night at Sale St with The Beat Council, core members Michal, Steve and Sam left that band to form Kid Radio in 2014. The band are now accepting bookings for corporate events and weddings, and look forward to taking your event to the next level.

“Recently had Kid Radio perform at my birthday and they were absolutely Fab. Had the dance floor always full and so many positive comments from my guests about how good the band was in the days following. They were super friendly and sounded amazing. Great range of songs. Clean, sharp sound. Thank you so much for a great vibe.”
- STEPHANIE HILL, PRIVATE EVENT
Kid Radio had our dancefloor pumping in a matter of minutes!! Song after song the dancefloor was packed and our guests loved every minute of it! They read the crowd really well and knew exactly what to play song after song – for a corporate firm with an age range of 20-60's year olds, they couldn’t have done better! The guys are also super easy to deal with and very professional.
