What's This Kid's Plan

[Jason Tate]

Simple Kid, a.k.a. Ciaran McFeely, who has been wowing UK fans for over a year with his "one-man sampletastic pop madness" is ready to unleash a full band tour on US audiences, followed up by dropping his first album for Stateside fans in June. The Irish Beck-meets-Badly Drawn Boy will kick off his premier US journey with a pair of Seattle dates on May 24 and 25 before rolling down the West Coast and then hitting a few choice spots across the country before ending up in Manchester, TN, for the Bonnaroo festival on June 11.

Is this the same kid that did that "Pop Punk Kid" song that went with the ToysRus theme. If it isn't, does anyone know who that was? Because that was some funny crap.
