Black Kids, a band from Florida, first cd was produced by Bernard Butler of Suede and came out in mid-2008. They ended up on a lot of best of 2008 lists and have received more popular acclaim in the UK than in their home country.
I've heard the single 'i'm not going to teach your boyfriend how to dance' a few times this year and kept meaning to check the band out. Their cd reminds me of David Bowie's 'modern love', happy cure songs, eating too many sweets and feeling giddy and the go team on 'look at me (when i rock wichoo)'.
The cd is consistently good if a little similar sounding and the songs are catchy singalongs you want to dance to. It isn't something I would want to listen to too much as it is a bit too poppy for my liking but they would probably be a great band to see live.
