1) The kids are a punk rock band based in Antwerp, Belgium. They were one of the first groups in Belgium to really tap into the power of the international punk scene which was erupting in 1976-77.
Formed by three angry dock(work)ers, the group evolves from pure energy on the first album to more varied and adult songs. Ludo Mariman (in "Wit-lof from Belgium") on the changes the band went trough : "Look, punk may be dead and over. But that doesn't mean we have to go away. We are almost a normal rock band now. We even have a slow song. We play better. We don't spit on the public anymore, now we try to amuse them".
In 1986, after 10 years THE KIDS decided to stop playing and LUDO MARIMAN started his solocareer. But in 1996, 20 years after the first gig THE KIDS held a reunion-tour. The first two albums were reproduced on one CD and a double album. THE KIDS will continue playing as long as ....... 'THE KIDS ARE UNITED'.
In 2001 THE KIDS were 25 YEARS young and in december of that same year the Live CD FLABBERGASTED! was released. In 2005 they release a new single "Freedom, Liberty, Democracy". In 2006 the KIDS are 30!
2007 saw the release of THE KIDS ANTHOLOGY, a box including all albums between 1978 and 1985, completed with a DVD of a live concert recorded in 1982.

One of the first groups in Belgium to really tap into the power of the international punk scene which was erupting in 1976-77 were The Kids. In retrospect, it is a bit foolish to call the Kids a "punk"-group, since they were much too R&B for that, but they certainly communicated the "punk"-feeling.
Front-man Ludo Mariman in "Wit-lof from Belgium": "In 1976 we were together in a band called "Crash". None of us could really play. We just hammered away, hard and fast, sounding like a really bad Velvet Underground. When the first news of the punk explosion in Britain started to come through, I went to London. I wanted to know what was going on over there, and if these guys had the seem feelings of anger I had. I remember the shivers down my spine seeing Eddie & The Hot Rods. I also saw the Ramones and then I knew we had that same music within us. Technically we could handle it, because you don't have to master the instruments to play punk music".
"Bloody Belgium", "Fascist cops", "No Monarchy" and "Rock over Belgium" were the songs which got them started.
They played support acts for Iggy Pop and Patti Smith in 1977.
Formed by three angry dock(work)ers, the group evolves from pure energy on the first album to more varied and adult songs. Ludo Mariman (again in "Wit-lof from Belgium") on the changes the band went trough : "Look, punk may be dead and over. But that doesn't mean we have to go away. We are almost a normal rock band now. We even have a slow song. We play better. We don't spit on the public anymore, now we try to amuse them".
Strangely enough, their two first albums were produced by Leo Caerts, the man who had been a band-leader for the likes of Will Tura etc. and the author of the world hit "Eviva España" (see Samantha).
In 1979 they release a single together with Jo Lemaire & Flouze : Jo sings "Tintarella di Luna", the Kids do a cover of "Louie Louie".
The album "Living in the 20th century" becomes a classic. They even hit the hitparades with "Dancing".
Their moment of fame however is the brilliant song "There will be no next time" (or as Humo put it : "the world hit which never was one").
After the split of the group in 1985, the front-singer of the band Ludo Mariman, a former professional soccer-player for Antwerp, keeps trying to make it in the music business. He sings "Angie" for the LSP-band and returns to the public eye four years later with "You never know what's yours" and has kept on recording ever since. Although his records are always of reasonable quality, he never really manages to produce the excitement which was a trademark for The Kids.
That Mariman is a well-respected artist can be deduced from this expert for the 1994 album "They say" in Humo : "Mariman is, just as when he invented the punk movement for the low countries 18 years ago, still angry and that is a quality of this man. ... Most of the twelve songs on this album were written and sung from the viewpoint of something that somebody who has a much smoother tongue than me has described as the "wet dog syndrome". ... Authenticity. You cannot buy it in your local shopping mall. Ludo Mariman has had tons of it for years, and now he has even produced a very good cd with it."
1996 sees a surprise comeback for the Kids. They decide to reform the band and tour the summerfestivals. In 1998 they are featured on the soundtrack of the Belgian movie "Dief". They also reappear on national television (on "Nieuwe Maandag"). Ludo Mariman says the group now has a status where it can decide to play together once in while. They will also continue to tour in the summer of 1998.
This tour lasted well into 1999. During this they found out that they are doing to their own amazement - well eh - amazingly well in Eastern Germany. "There is a lot of demand for punks of the first generation over there. The sadder the surroundings, the better punkrock thrives", said singer Ludo Mariman in "Het Nieuwsblad".
The group has undergone some changes in personnel : ex-Scabs Frankie Saenen now hits the drums, and young Pieter Van Buyten (see also Flip Kowlier, Chitlin' Fooks) handles the bass. Ludo Mariman and guitar-player Luk Van De Poel remain on their post. On March 13th 2001, a live-concert in the Ancienne Belgique was recorded, and the goal still is to release a CD with this material.

@hdoubleye81
@@petems3283 I doubt your intention was to demean in us in the spirit of this song that has brought us to this comment section from all corners of life. Music is afterall the universal language.
My family and I left Somalia in '92 at the height of the war before the whole country descended into chaos. We were fortunate enough and granted asylum to the San Francisco Bay Area after a brief stay(2 years) at refugee camps in Ethiopia.
The reason why I responded to your "piracy" comment stems from our frustration of why there tends to be a curious, limited view of Africa and Africans in general. A lot of stories out of Africa that are published and successful here appeal to the guilt and sympathy of the West, or a need to sensationalize the way in which we live. We just want an honest account, and a perspective that's wide enough. Just look at how some of the western reporters(especially young ones for Vice magazine etc.) have this weird fascination with the indulgence and revelry in conflict zones. They report about the rebels and how they too managed to hang out with them. And how they like to remind everyone of the fact that they put themselves in danger getting these stories and yet we know there was no such danger to themselves. All the while waiting to get back to their supposed comfort zones of the western world and add to the narrative of a backward African nation. No doubt, there are wars raging in every corner of the globe, and it's absurd...and we need an end to them, but I think they deserve better justice than what the reporters give.
It's been said that Some nations get stuck in the same loop of history, repeating the same crises and learning nothing from them. I think Somalia has been stuck in that same loophole of anarchy for the past 30 years. But I think in a broader sense, war and conflict - and the effects of war and conflict - impedes on people's abilities to affirm themselves. I see that my people express themselves to no end while at the same time it is very difficult to find a job, to hold an occupation, to build a career... all the things that we in the West or in other countries use to define our identity. It's those same things that we take for granted which are lacking for Somalis, Afhagnis and all other oppressed peoples in general, who are looking for solutions for their problems. And this leaves an incredible void for them. I think we all feel a need to believe in something permanent within ourselves. And I think it is this fundamental need that is denied to our people. I think it's okay to be exposed to certain things about the human condition ...conditions in other places of the world that I feel are at times shielded from society. We turn away from places like Somalia and Afghanistan like we turn away from our own flaws. We don't want to look at it. And it's very hard to go there and look, as I discovered. I went there to sort of touch on events that I left behind, powerful events that I felt were of distant memory. What happened was I ended up being touched by them in profound ways. When you see someone enduring such suffering, as my people are battling a religious dimension and import of wahabism with the Shabab, you think to yourself... that could have so easily been me. And I don't know if, given those circumstances, if I would hold up and would still be able to fight in the way that they do. And I don't know if I would be able to still hold on to certain values, like love and trust and belief in a better future.
With that being said...we need to adopt a different perspective on themes of war, migration and separation and why news from the continent has always been bleak. Young peoples dissatisfaction with their life at home is offset by the pleasure they take in helping those around them. With Europe always looming on the horizon, they find themselves increasingly ambivalent about the thought of leaving their native country. They are torn between their desire to lead better lives elsewhere and a yearning to solve the problems at home. I am glad that I revisited my roots to see young Somalis who are invested and committed to making real changes, albeit in circumstances that are often times discouraging. Mogadishu is changing alot and business is booming. People have confidence in the place and Somalis the from diaspora are returning with wealth and knowledge from the West to help rebuild our society.
✌ and be well my friend.
Btw...I grew up listening to punk bands from the East Bay(Rancid, Lookout Records, Green Day etc.), but do you know that Poly Styrene from the X Ray Spex is of mixed Somali-Scotish heritage as well.
Her daughter dedicated a feature documentary in her memory...
Check it out...
https://www.polystyrenefilm.net/
The death of punk icon and X-Ray Spex frontwoman Poly Styrene sends her daughter on a journey across the world and through her mother’s archives to reconcile their fraught relationship in this new documentary feature.

Lyrics:
For once in my life I've got something to say
I wanna say it now for now is today
A love has been given so why not enjoy
So let's all grab and let's all enjoy
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
Just take a look around you
What do you see
Kids with feelings like you and me
Understand him, he'll understand you
For you are him, and he is you
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
I don't want to be rejected
I don't want to be denied
Then its not my misfortune
That I've opened up your eyes
Freedom is given
Speak how you feel
I have no freedom
How do you feel
They can lie to my face
But not to my heart
If we all stand together
It will just be the start
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided

Back in East Germany in the 70s, I was listening to this song countless times. Enjoyed listening John Peel on BFBS. In our youth, British punk were perfect for resisting Communist authoritarian rulers and getting ready for anarchy. Later in the mid 80s, I ended up in jail for jumping the East Berlin while attempting to cross to the West. A year later, the West German Government paid a ransom so that I was released to West Berlin. Good times continued with resisting Capitalist rulers this time.

I was wondering Lars if you think this "freedom" of the West is even worse than the Communism of the East? I've learned Communist states were very nationalistic in the 1970's and 1980's so at least that was something to rally around against globalism. I like talking to former East Germans and getting real opinions/information.
