Black Kids rock my new year's eve

I was going to save this post for friday, so that I could really stay true to the lyrics "it's friday night and I ain't got nobody," from the song Hurrican Jane by Black Kids. But I couldn't wait to write about this band, they're just too damn good to wait that long. I've been listening to them all day. It'd be too cheesy if I went through with that whole friday night post thing anyway.

It was a few days ago that a good friend of mine, Tom, introduced me to Black Kids. Right from the first song, they had me. And that's a pretty rare thing for me these days. You know that feeling, when you hear something that's just really so good that you have to tell everyone you know about it? Well that's what Black Kids did to me. And that's why I'm telling you.

I've never been one to be good at describing what kind of music a band plays. I'm not too good at saying "they sound like insert very cool verbs and acjectives" or something of that sort. I just listen to what I like; that's all I can say. Maybe in the future, with a little more experience in writing about other bands, I'll be able to better describe what I hear.

Until then what I'll say is that, Black Kids put me in a feel-good mood everytime I listen to them. It's definitely, most definitely, great music to dance to, not to mention sing a long to as well.

Check out their myspace, if you already haven't clicked the link I provided for you. Find them at www.myspace.com/blackkidsrock and then let me know what you think.

Also, I haven't mentioned the drawing (by Paul Sammut) yet; I found it on their myspace the other day and I loved it. As quoted from Black Kids themselves, "much better than any shit photo."

Until next time, Happy New Year!
