Black Kids playing Virgin, TV & Santos ++ new album stream

July 22, 2008

Black Kids are playing a free show in a store tonight (July 22, 2008). The occasion is the release of their new record “Partie Traumatic” which is (still) streaming in its entirety at AOL.

Partie Traumatic will be available to purchase at the Virgin Megastore Union Square location from 9:00am. Fans buying a copy of the album at the store will receive a wristband for this very special performance at 7:00pm. The performance will be followed by a CD/LP signing. Time and space are limited, so please arrive early.

Although free, their Virgin set will likely be much shorter in length than the real show they’re playing Friday at Santos Party House with Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. Black Kids will also appear on The Late Show With David Letterman on Thursday.

UPDATE: Pitchfork reviewed the album, sort of….
