After entering the UK charts at #5 with their album ‘Partie Traumatic’ last month, Black Kids lived up to the hype and delivered one of the finest debut long-players this year.
The follow-up single to ‘Hurricane Jane’ is ‘Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)’ the giddy closing track on the band’s girl-crazy debut album will be available on download only.
With a touring schedule so busy it’d make most bands break out in a sweat just at the very thought, they continue to earn their pop stripes all over the world. A rousing mid afternoon Glastonbury set, T In Park, Oxegen, Wireless, Latitude and Camp Bestival are all under their belts. Reading & Leeds, Jersey Live and Bestival remain on these fair shores.
Currently on tour in America, the Kids return in the Autumn for their second full UK tour. See below for their full shedule.
