Black Kids is an American indie pop band from Jacksonville, Florida. The band's debut EP, Wizard of Ahhhs, received favorable critical response in 2007, and was followed by the Partie Traumatic album, which debuted at #5 on the UK Albums Chart in July 2008.
Black Kids formed in Jacksonville in 2006. The lineup consists of siblings Reggie Youngblood (lead vocals and guitar) and Ali Youngblood (keyboards and backing vocals), Owen Holmes (bass guitar), Kevin Snow (drums), and Dawn Watley (keyboards and backing vocals). Although they initially performed only in Jacksonville, they received national attention after a breakout performance at the Athens Popfest in Athens, Georgia on August 11, 2007, which led to a sudden flurry of coverage in the music press, including NME,Vice,The Guardian, and The Village Voice. The same month, Black Kids' demo EP, Wizard of Ahhhs, was released via free download on their MySpace page. Soon after, Black Kids began working with Quest Management, the company that manages Björk and Arcade Fire. In October, the EP received a favorable review of 8.4 out of 10 from Pitchfork Media, including a "Best New Music" commendation.

Jane, I've made it plain,
Although I'm faded as a ghost
I want you here inside me,
Say the word.
Oh, you've been playing nice,
But I can see it in your eyes
You're thinking, "Christ,
He's everybody's girl."
You can't spend the night...
Jane, I've seen you at the club
You were tearin' up the rug
With no regard for form,
You're such a brute!
You had a ready elbow
For the girls you hate or just don't know.
You head-butt me,
Cos you thought it was cute.
You can't spend the night...
Yes, I'm sure you're right
You can't spend the night...
Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
You can't spend the night...
Yes, I'm sure you're right.
But we could spend the night together
Or alone, that would be better
It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody
Oh, what's the use of making a bed?
I took something and it feels like karate
It's kicked me down and left me for dead.
It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody
So what's the use of pulling a shape?
I put what I want, when I want, in my body
I'm never gonna give what I take
Jane, I've seen the pain you've dealt
You've been with all my friends
You tell me guard my heart,
I might get hurt.
No doubt you'll hurt my feelings,
And it's a given I'll be kneeling
But I'm telling myself
That it's gonna be worth it.
You can't spend the night...
Yes, I'm sure you're right
You can't spend the night...
Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
You can't spend the night...
Yes, I'm sure you're right.
But we could spend the night together
Or alone, that would be better
It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody
Oh, what's the use of making a bed?
I took something and it feels like karate
It's kicked me down and left me for dead.
It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody
So what's the use of pulling a shape?
I put what I want, when I want, in my body
I'm never gonna give what I take
It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody
Oh, what's the use of making a bed?
I took something and it feels like karate
It's kicked me down and left me for dead.
It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody
So what's the use of pulling a shape?
I put what I want, when I want, in my body
