滾石雜誌力薦「2008年最值得期待的新樂團之一」、入選BBC「2008年之聲」的快樂搖滾組合

Britpop天團Suede吉他手Bernard Butler(Manic Street Preachers、Duffy、The Libertines)操盤,空降英國專輯金榜TOP5ÿ

“I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You”直升英國金榜TOP11,獲選Pitchfork「2007年百大單曲」TOP68

滾石雜誌推薦為「2008年最值得期待的新樂團之一」、入選BBC「2008年之聲」名單之中的Black Kids,秉持著「簡單快樂無憂聽音樂」的理念,理直氣壯的唱著--愛搖滾的小孩很快樂!

若不仔細看介紹,還以為又是來自英國的樂團,Black Kids卻是不折不扣來自美國佛羅里達州的五人部隊,成員包括:主唱/吉他手Reggie Youngblood、主唱/鍵盤手Ali Youngblood、鍵盤手/合音Dawn Watley、貝斯手Owen Holmes以及鼓手Kevin Snow。2006年三月成軍後,便四處爭取公開亮相的演出機會,獲得NME、The Guardian、The Village Voice等公信力雜誌力薦,順勢問世DEMO EP『Wizard Of Ahhhs』,拿下Pitchfork的8.4/10高分,並以「絕佳新音樂」專文標示力捧。

Black Kids很快的簽下一紙合約發行首張專輯【Partie Traumatic】,請到曾是英國Britpop天團Suede的吉他手Bernard Butler(Manic Street Preachers、Duffy、The Libertines)操盤,直接空降英國金榜Top5位置。歡樂滿點的“Hit The Heartbrakes”選作開場,令人愛不釋手的立刻愛上Black Kids;再接再厲發酵十足動感的搖擺韻腳“Partie Traumatic”,鼓譟的Funky線條迴繞在龐克激流中,很難不隨樂起舞;有趣可愛且朗朗上口的“I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You”,廣受歡迎的衝入英國金榜Top11位置,獲選Pitchfork的「2007年百大單曲」第68名;第二波添加更多電子效果輔佐之“Hurricane Jane”,拿下英國金榜Top36;直到謝幕曲“Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)”響起,Black Kids仍不願意鬆懈的提供滿滿暢快音符,洋溢活潑趣緻的活力曲線。


'Partie Traumatic' is the debut LP release from indie rock darlings Black Kids, a bracing and invigorating affair with no small amount of hype behind it. Produced by ex-Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and featuring the singles 'I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You' and 'HurricaneJane', this record balances the zeal of youth with an arch,almost literary twist. Though the songs themselves are rip-roaring, the sentiments behind them often sum up simple emotional and social truths deftly. With influences ranging from60s guitar pop to 80s post-punk, 'Partie Traumatic' is intelligent and fun guitar music for the noughties audience.

6. I've Underestimated My Charm (Again)

Like many a Mael,
I get angst in my pants.
And goddamn it to hell,
it don't help if I dance.

And you, you're not doing too well.
All the blogs are about you, girl.
They caught you in the park after dark
giving head to a statue, girl.
Oh, cruel!

Didn't mean to do you no harm,
I just underestimated my charm.
And if I ever bother to tell you the truth,
oh, baby, you're too much sugar
for my sweet tooth.

You're on your honeymoon
and you're sending me notes.
You hope to see me soon.
You've got "see" wrapped
in quotes.
I used to find it funny to say,
"What's your man got to do with me?"
But then I saw him downtown
placing bets on the hounds.
He was as big as a house!
We can't be messin' around!

Every time we kiss
it's like an inside joke
I always miss.
Our love is like a tug-of-war.
Don't touch me, girl,
I can't hug no more!

9. I Wanna Be Your Limousine
