Wild Child Live in KUTX Studio 1A

It’s an all-too-familiar tale for bands releasing new records right now. Their stories seem to hang on the waiting of the pandemic years, the postponed plans, the uncertain future, the record that just can’t get finished. Or released.
Austin’s Wild Child has a different story. The pandemic actually brought their band back to life.
Wild Child’s finely-tuned rock melodrama has enchanted listeners for a decade. Yet by 2018, after four albums, widespread acclaim, an Austin City Limits television segment, and lots of road miles, Wild Child’s two primary songwriters, Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins, were off doing their own things.
Kelsey had joined the songwriting collective Glorietta, and had launched her soulful Sir Woman project. Meanwhile, Alexander had created his solo alter ego, CoCo Zandi. They were both recording, making plans, and Wild Child was a little more than a speck in their collective rearview mirrors.
Then it was March 2020. And everything stopped in its tracks. Back in Austin, with little else to do, they reunited.
