Black Kids & Cut Copy - 2008 Tour Dates
Black Kids @ R Bar, NYC (BV CMJ) - Oct 19, 2007 (Tod Seelie)
As you know, Cut Copy are playing SXSW, Coachella, Mercury Lounge and Studio B (on March 15th). And as you know, Black Kids are playing Coachella and Bonnaroo. What you might not know yet is that the most talked about band at CMJ this year are also returning to NYC in May to play Studio B (on May 13th), and that they're going on a tour with Cut Copy after Coachella (which includes a lot of dates, but none in NYC....or maybe they just can't announce it yet....).
I saw Black Kids twice during CMJ, and I'll admit that the first time (@ Annex) was a let down, but the band was nervous and there were technical difficulties. They were much better at R Bar, though that could come off as biased since it was my show (a little more on that here). Seriously though, I thought they were pretty good at that one, and I'm definitely curious to hear and see more next time. All dates below....

from pitchfork:
"How do those Black Kids do it? Without a full-length album, a label (on their home continent, anyway), a proper tour of their own home country, or even a fully functional website to their credit (er, "coming soon"), Black Kids have managed to win hearts around the globe."
so how do they do it?

I think they have a gimmick, I just can't put my finger on it...

How does one define "the most talked about band at CMJ this year?" Did someone dig through all those secret spying records at CIA headquarters?

they played a free show in atlanta back in November - holy hell - the venue was at capacity in under an hour. they put on a great show and turned out to be very cool kids.

They must have issues with performing(lead singer especially). His voice is just dreadful live. I've seen them(disappointing), and I have yet to see a solid live video of them.

seems really weird that cut copy wouldn't play the studio b show too.
I'm guessing that will change...

Having Bjork / Arcade Fire's manager cant hurt....
