black kids

My favorite way of discovering new music artists is listening to the bands my favorite artists listen to. Such is the way I heard of Black Kids.

I've raved about Kate Nash in my past few posts, so I did a few Internet searches on her and found out that she covered one of the Black Kids' songs, I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You. You can download her cover here.

I loved the song and craved to learn more about the original artist, Black Kids. Not surprisingly, their Myspace was featured in Kate Nash's top 8.

Black Kids are five lovely individuals from Florida that describe their music as "Indie, Crunk, and Religious." Their music is fun and energetic. You can download their self-released demo EP, Wizard of Ahhhs, for free off of their website, here.

Their musical career has just taken off and I suspect they're bound for a bright future. They are currently touring with Kate Nash around Europe and are set to play the third day of Coachella this year, Sunday, April 27.
