Kid Creole And The Coconuts enjoyed huge single and album success with their third album ‘Tropical Gangsters’ in 1982 with three Top 10 singles, ‘I’m A Wonderful Thing, Baby’ #4, ‘Stool Pigeon’ #7 and ‘Annie, I’m Not Your Daddy’ peaking at #2.

The band continued to enjoy success, releasing many singles and albums and are surely one of the key sounds of the 80’s.

The band is still very active having recently completed a national tour with ABC culminating with a performance at the London Palladium. Kid Creole, his assorted Nuts, and his merry band of renegades will be touring this year (2018) throughout the UK and all over the planet. And they will continue to tour until the Kid realises that his Zoot Suits cannot fit him any longer.
