Black Kids to tour this spring with Cut Copy

What a difference a year can make. Last summer, the Black Kids were a well-received, little-known indie outfit from Florida. Then, last August, they played PopFest in Athens, Ga., and blew critics and festival go-ers away with their performance.

Now, the Black Kids have signed to Columbia and are amidst a late-spring tour with the Aussies of Cut Copy. They'll be traveling throughout North America, informing folks that they still won't teach your boyfriend how to dance, much to the dismay of many American and Canadian women.

Check out the video below:
