Noah Engh, The Kid Fantastic was born Noah Ezra Engh in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It all started when 12 year-old Noah's band, SpelCheck, played at the 6th grade dance at Fulton Elementary in Minneapolis. After barely graduating high school, The Kid packed up a silver Buick Park Ave and headed west to California, which he truly believed was pronounced "Calidonia". He began cutting his teeth at Hollywood clubs by himself and then with a band called Atomic Playboy. After the Playboys had run their course, Noah's friend Lightnin' Woodcock (who gave him his nickname) got him a spot in the band, Sun Trash, whom founding members were Capt. Sean Doe (Throwrag, Charlie Horse) and Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens of the Stone Age, Sweethead). He lied his way in the band by claiming to play lap steel guitar. The kid had to learn how to play lap steel in two days. He did. By this time, Noah Engh, The Kid Fantastic had a blood thirst for touring, which "really sucked", because Sun Trash broke up after a few tours. With nowhere else to turn, he decided to go at it alone as a one-man-band and tour the U.S and Canada for the next three years straight (220 shows per year). Before he hit the road, he teamed up with Los Angeles veteran producer Jason Mezilis to record his first solo release, "Eddie and the Dirty Pennies EP", full of vicious disgusting guitar playing and rough nasty vocals. During his long stint on the road, he had the privilege of sharing the stage with some of his heroes like Reverend Deadeye, Bob Log III, Purgatory Hill, and a bunch of other underground wonders that you'd never ever hear on the radio. Anyways, more touring, rumored drinking problems, aliments and sleepless nights later, The Kid runs into underground-indie-filmmaking-genius, David Urbanic in Pheonix, Arizona, at a show. The result is a 30 minute documentary called "My Caddy Won't Let Me", which will premiere a year after filming at the Tucson Film & Music Festival in October of 2011. The film proved to be as nasty, dirty, filthy, and heartfelt as Noah's actual touring life. Half way through 2011, The Kid took a break from heavy touring to focus on his trio in Los Angeles with super freak, Tom French on upright bass and renowned percussionist, Scotty Lund on cajon. They have been ripping heads off and getting in bar fights every week at the Piano Bar in Hollywood as of late. (Noah's Fantastic Trio plays at the Piano Bar every Thursday night). Show less «
