About / Biography

The UK’s ultimate 80s and 90s Kids TV and Cartoon themed band, bringing the soundtracks of Saturday morning TV to life.

From Pokémon and DuckTales to Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, and Power Rangers, we transform beloved childhood theme tunes into a high-energy live show packed with nostalgia, singalongs, custom-made props, and crowd participation.

It’s a unique party atmosphere that appeals to anyone who grew up with a bowl of cereal in front of the television. If you’re looking for something genuinely different that audiences will be talking about long after the final song, we’d love to bring Going Live and Kicking to your venue.

Yes, as long as there is cover and a power supply.
