Combining bouncy '60s-style pop, '80s new wave atmospherics, and upbeat dance grooves with a playful spirit, the Black Kids earned a loyal local following when they posted their four-song EP, Wizard of Ahhhs, on their MySpace page in August 2007. The witty, hook-laden tunes impressed music fans in Florida and Georgia who had seen the Black Kids' live shows, and several bloggers began writing up the band. After signing with Columbia in the States and Almost Gold Recordings for distribution in regions outside North America, they recorded their debut, Partie Traumatic, produced by former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler. The album was released in July of 2008. ~ Mark Deming
