Black Kids will never stop touring

Black Kids are addictive. The Jacksonville, Fla., rockers' debut, Partie Traumatic, has yet to be released, but that hasn’t stopped them from selling out shows at home and abroad during a gigantic tour that continues on both sides of the pond through October.

The group’s indie-pop tunes are widely used in England, for example, where Almost Gold Recordings will release Partie Traumatic on July 7. Stateside, Columbia Records will follow suit July 22. Likewise, Europe gets to see the band’s stage show first, as Black Kids won’t give American fans a fix until late July.

Black Kids will appear at several festivals this summer, the most notable of which for U.S. citizens being Lollapalooza in early August. Then they’re gone again until kicking off a U.S. leg of the tour in Jacksonville in September.
