Tours of Note: Black Kids
June 10th, 2008 - by Eddie
My good buddy Austria from AZ told me about Black Kids a while back and, as is always the case, whatever band Austria tells me about inevitably becomes one of the “it” bands down the road.
They play some funky, indie-pop goodness and have the special power of stirring people’s racial emotions due to the fact that only two out of the five people in the band are actually (says in whisper) black.
A clever marketing plot or a statement about race in our country? You can decide for yourself when you see them on tour.

It might be kitschy and cool right now, but this poop has the shelf life of Bow Wow Wow. Why do bands put out this drivel? I can’t wait for this New Wave scenester shit to die.
