Straight outta jacksonville, fl - Black Kids are the new sweetest thing to hit our ears. Kinda mellow, kinda pop-ish, 90's beaths, really fun. Boys AND Girls. Black AND White. Perfection!
Their debut album - partie traumatic - came out just last Tuesday. You may have heard their single "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You" on airwaves since this past April. I would describe this song as sweet/though not unique voices over a beyond catchy beat that you will be tapping at your desk all day while you hum over and over "I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you". The song is not one of their best - but it is an undeniable hit. They areMGMT-ish in the sense that even if you do not want to like them, you will. And you will a lot.
Peep "Hurricane Jane" - one of my favs. The beat is so 90's you will picture your mom snapping to it as she drives you and your friends who are in the backseat to the pool when you were 8. Which makes it that much more awesome.
Owen, Kevin, Dawn, Ali and Reggie are currently touring both the US and UK. However - unless you're willing to travel out of the NJ/NY - then you won't be seeing them for a while. However you can catch them in Philly at the end of September. Which is cool, gives you more time to grow to love them.
Black Kids recently toured with Kate Nash and I found a vid of a live collaboration of "I'm Not Gonna Teach...." Check it!
