*** A New Band A Day is taking a 'well-earned' break until the New Year, so no more new bands until then...*** The A New Band A Day List-Stravaganza continues - right now - with more compulsive listing without reason, thought or care. Today it's a dip into the icy waters of 2008's darker side... Blandest Band of the Year A tough, hard fought category, with listless, beige fights to the death between the bands, [...]
A little Black Kids on the remix for you. So I'll be honest, when the Black Kids released their debut album , Partie Traumatic (love the name), earlier this year, I wasn't all that impressed, despite the rave reviews and love from all the cool kids [ Ed. Note: er, us ]. However, when I heard their songs remixed, I loved what I was listening to. "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You" Such a simple statement, yet it conveys so much.

Cincinnati, Ohio Yes, I'm sure the spiffy new beige paint job is much more attractive than whatever rusted color scheme was there before. Madonna - Into The Groove
Stumbled across the work of Mike Schmidt recently (imagine no relation to the venerable third baseman; also imagine he's tired of hearing that) and have really enjoyed what he's offering. Going by the alias Beig e , he seems to be participating in a number of different projects: collaborations with friends, remixes for Black Kids , side projects with BK-member Reggie Youngblood, and others. Beige's contributions center around synthesizers and electronic programming. And, I may add, its sounds damn good. His myspace page provided the following tracks. ::: Beige [...]

I'll be honest with you. I stayed up last night till five in the morning drinking and taking drugs (what else is new). I woke up close to 4pm and I feel like I'm going to die. Even after a full meal and lots of water, I'm emotionally unstable and horrifyingly bored. I was debating how I could beat this feeling, until I opened my email. My friend sent me over the new Black Kids EP and it's so so good. I have listened to it on repeat about 5 times now and I instantly feel better. They [...]
Ça fait déjà quelques semaines que le nom "Black Kids" s'immisce à brûle pour point dans quelques-unes de mes lectures récentes mais je n'y portais pas trop attention et e n'est qu'après avoir lu cette critique que j'ai décider d'aller effectuer un pitstop sur leur Myspace voir si les kids valaient vraiment le détour. Et bien oui, malgré un maigre 2 écoutes du mini EP (4 pièces), je peux dire d'emblé que les Black Kids ont ce je ne sais quoi qui devrait leur permettre de s'élever [...]
