Jacksonville’s Black Kids, the darlings of last year’s CMJ, are set to release their debut record, go on a worldwide tour, and headline the Bowery Ballroom in NYC (05/18/08). Not bad for a band that self released its first EP in October of 2007. The Black Kids new album is set for a July 7, 2008 release date in the UK, and their first single “I’m not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you” drops on April 7, 2008.
All Black Kids tour dates after the jump.
