Black Kids
as seen on myspace
fri 10/24/2008
Everything you read on the Internet is made up. Except for this: Black Kids make super pop music.
Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida (far from Cuba, close to Georgia), the Black Kids are the brother-sister duo of Reggie and Al Youngblood along with friends Dawn Watley, Owen Holmes and Kevin Snow. Unknown two years ago, they've become one of the most blogged about bands of 2008 largely on the strength of an album they released on MySpace.
With a half dozen songs that are catchier than a cold in kindergarden, the buzz about Black Kids has inspired big ups from Rolling Stone and the BBC as well as a deal with the same management team as The Arcade Fire and Bjork. It's a buzz well deserved: if you've ever shaken up a can of soda and then popped the top, you'll recognize the feeling they've captured on tracks like I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend and Look At Me.
But after the release of their label debut Partie Traumatic, the gushing praises turned to hisses as blogs pushed the line that the Black Kids had gotten too big, too fast for their own good.
As for the Black Kids, they've moved on. They're currently touring Europe and Japan.
