2012
Kidd Russell
A song for all you beautiful women!
What up Neighbors! Here is our new home made vid for “SHE FEELS LIKE HOME!” We had a blast shooting this and I hope you enjoy watching it. We shot this on the last day of summer riding boats, fishing, boozing, camp fire sing-a-longs with our ladies the “she feels like home” girls. Please share, repost if you dig it. Hopefully you’ll get excited for summer which is now right around the corner. Much more music and videos coming out in 2012.
your neighbor,
Kidd Russell

Here it is “broke dj” video drop on your wall, share with a friend, watch it with the homeless and most importantly enjoy it
“Broke DJ”
Kidd Russel feat. DJ John Blaze aka the homeless DJ
beat: sleigh bells -infinite guitars
off the new mixtape: RUDY RUETTIGER MUSIC
Free download: http://hulkshare.com/cponzmu79u06
If you’ve been to our live shows you know this song well and its a fan favorite. We appreciate everyone whose donated cell phones, knee pads, change, $$, phones numbers and especially weed to my homeless DJ during our live shows.
DJ blaze and I recorded this song almost a year ago on a random summer day. Blaze was um….between homes after breaking up with his lady and I was giving him shit about it. I was like dude you live in bus stations, on couches and where ever you can and you have no money bro your “homeless.” It was tough times for both of us but especially blaze. Recording this song made us laugh about his difficult situation and is one of our staples during live shows. It’s a true story about John and his hilarious life as the homeless DJ but you do what you gotta do to chase your dreams. If you ever meet blaze he is the happiest dude on the planet. If you see him put a doller in his box, some change, cigs, weed, knee pads, your phone number anythings helps.

Yesterday I found out that my song “paradise” was placed on the last episode of Oxygen’s show Bad Girls Club! Needless to say me and my producer Matt Jenkins were fired up. A nice little victory for us indie artist. It takes a lot of time and patients to get a few little breaks such as this. Anyways here is the link you can view our song it comes in at 4:07 and runs for about a minute.

Occupy wall street & E North Ave
Yesterday my homie on twitter DM’d me from the protests down on wallstreet “Were sitting outside wallstreet blasting backyard heroes in the rain. Thought that would put a smile on your face!”
Of course it did put a smile on my face but also made me reflect on a few things I wanted to share!!!
We wrote E North Ave in 2008 when the recession was at its worst. Honestly I was barley getting by, working my ass off at a job that could barely pay me, renting from a home owner that was going threw foreclosure, working on music and it meant a lot to me that the people my my life like neighbor producer matt jenkins, Homeless DJ blaze and all my good friends would still get together and laugh threw all these tough times.
That’s where the inspiration for this song came. All though times are tough we still “like it like this” we are still alive living on E North Ave in Lake Bluff, il and enjoying are only shot at life.
I think that the protesters at occupy walls street is our generation expressing the frustrations with a system that allows for certain corruption to fuck the little guys like us. Our world needs more transparency, less relentlessness greed, leaders that truly care about the people that elect them and I think our world needs more compassion for each other. Several songs on my new album deal with this subject matter “Good People” feat Jack Johnson, “They Don’t Care About Us” and a few more.
I challenge everyone out there looking for a job, struggling to pay the bills and what not to start believing in yourself and understand that everything is going to be okay. Be creative start your own business using that talents you have and fight your way out of your current situations and keep your head up. Most importantly always speak your mind and fight for what you believe in. I’ll keep creating music that hopefully will give you the energy and inspiration to get there. Remember we are all in this together!!!!
Your Neighbor,
Kidd Russell

What up ya’ll we’ve been hard at work getting this new music ready for you guys and shooting a few videos as well. Thanks for being so patient with me I promise the wait will be worth it.
I decided to give “She Feels Like Home” off my last album backyard heroes the video treatment. As soon as the fall weather came to Chicago all I could think of was a hoodie video with a bunch of beautiful ladies :). We will be dropping that video in 2 or 3 weeks. You can download “she feels like home” for free at www.kiddrussell.bandcamp.com.
Love ya’ll
Kidd Russell
