Black Kid’s Partie Traumatic

Filed under: Rock — Tags: — Alex @ 10:20 am

Jacksonville’s Black Kids debut LP release Partie Traumatic has begun its inaugural lap around the internet. For me personally this will be a testament to see if the young band can fill the very large shoes the success of their singles I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You and Hurricane Jane have cobbled for them.

Their success also signals a new echelon in the music industry. They represent the possibility of that temporal myspace generation of bands and solidify the music blog and streaming websites as a viable if not preferential marketing strategy for said bands.

Check out some of the new tracks and tell me what you think.

If Lykke Li was holding me captive, I can assure you that Stockholm syndrome would take effect in an inappropriately short amount of time. If you have heard her blog hit Little bit yet, here’s your chance, its catchy as hell. She’s even been remixed by Black Kids. Yes, apparently they do remixes now.

This is the video for an acoustic live version of “I’m Good, I’m Gone” with guests: Robyn, Adam & Bebban (Shout Out Louds), Daniel (The Concretes), Lars (Laakso) and Mikael (Hjalmar).
