Kid Dakota
This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Saturday, March 18at The Iron Bear
Formed in 1999, Kid Dakota released two albums on LOW's Chairkicker's Union - “So Pretty” (2002), and “The West is the Future” (2004) - and four albums on Graveface Records - “A Winner's Shadow” (2008), “Listen to the Crows As They Take Flight” (2011), “Denervation” (2018), and “Age of Roaches.” With the addition of new drummer/guitarist Lars Oslund (New Primals, Services), Kid Dakota has embarked on a bold new sonic adventure which incorporates dueling guitars and a drum machine while maintaining his trademark minimalism. His new album, “Praegustator,” will be released in 2023.
Darren is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, engineer, teacher, and producer. Although he grew up in a small town in Western South Dakota, Darren cut his musical teeth in Minneapolis. A fixture on the scene there for two decades, Darren founded two critically-acclaimed bands (Kid Dakota and the Olympic Hopefuls), released nine albums, and won three Minnesota Music Awards including “Artist of the Year.”
