Ali Youngblood of Black Kids checked in with fans on the Jacksonville, Florida indie pop group’s blog at MySpace, talking about being home to work on their second album. The keyboardist writes:
So we’re home in north Florida working on the next album!!! A new song every week (my word). Can’t wait to make THE album and tour again. I’m hoping this time, with everything we’ve learned, you get an experience like no other. We want you… oh yes… we want you… to have a great time!!!
Concert.tv caught up with Black Kids, where the Jacksonville, Florida indie pop group talked about how they came together as a band, having a goal to have more fun with it than with their prior projects, believing their music is like dark comedy, plans to put out an EP early this year, and how the UK is willing to embrace new artists quickly, while it’s a longer process in America. Watch the interview below.
