Video: "Flashing Lights" | Kids These Days [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

We caught this ambitious group of high schoolers at SXSW this year - hailing from Chicago, Kids These Days play a mix of hip hop, blues, jazz, rock and soul. Their guitarist, Liam Cunningham, is a crazy virtuoso in the Hendrix mold, and we dug drummer Greg Landfair too. The band's main vocalists, Macie Stewart (the girl) and Vic Mensa (the rapper) were a little green but we expect they'll pick up more seasoning as they play more gigs. The Kids have already scored a shot on "Conan" as well as a spot on the bill [...]

Chicago-based indie rock/jazz (a little bit of everything else in between) band Kids These Days recent late night appearance on Conan helped solidify their place on a lot of people's radar.

Last week, the jazz/hip hop band Kids These Days released their own rendition of Kanye West' s " Flashing Lights ," and it was an instant hit. They added new lyrics and switched up the arrangement of the song, but it still retained some of the original elements. In other words, this version was fresh. This week, the group returns with a video that is very dark, but features different color lights for each member as they perform the tune. Watch below. Fresh? [...]

Chicago's Kids These Days gives their recent Yeezy inspired track Flashing Lights the visual treatment.

Kids These Days dropped " Flashing Lights " a week ago as their debut single from Traphouse Rock  and have followed up quickly with visuals for the song. Repurposing Kanye West's track of the same name, Kids These Day's live instrumentation creates a piece as sonically pleasing as the original, so when it's paired with the skills of director Austin Vesely, something good is bound to happen. Set against a black background and framed by the glow of multicolored lights, Vesely layers the purposefully grainy images together to strengthen the tangible emotions in the song, creating a spectacular visual product that embodies "Flashing [...]
