Johnny Depp`s old band The Kids is getting back together, but only for one show.
The Kids will play a benefit gig later this week in Florida. The Sheila Witkin Memorial Concert is in honor of the mother of The Kids` Bruce Witkin.The Kids were around Florida in the early 80s but split before ever signing a deal. Although they never had any commercial success, they did once open for Iggy Pop.
The Kids` reunion is the second gig the band has done in recent years. They also reformed in 2007 for the first Sheila Witkin Memorial Concert.
It is unlikely we will see a world tour or new album out of this. Deep has 6 new movies on the way over the next two year, including possibly Sun City 3.
A Kids album might be a nice idea though. Maybe Johnny should take note of Tom Petty`s recent Mudcrutch release. Mudcrutch was Petty`s band before the Heartbreakers. They broke up in the 1975 before ever making an album.
Last year, Petty took Mudcrutch into the studio and recorded that debut album. Warner released it in April.
