Rehearsal Space: Black Kids

For more episodes of Rehearsal Space, go to http://weallmakemusic.com/topic/video-series/rehearsal-space/

Most musicians will tell you there's no such thing as overnight
success, but in 2007 indie pop band Black Kids experienced just about
the nearest thing to it. After playing a set at the Athens Pop Fest,
they handed out homemade cds containing four of their songs. The
bloggers in the crowd immediately spread those songs and word of the
show all over the internet. Suddenly, Black Kids were tipped as one of
the top new bands to watch.

In this episode of Rehearsal Space, Reggie Youngblood and Owen Holmes
tell us about their start in Christian Rock, what it was like to
record Partie Traumatic with ex-Suede guitarist and producer Bernard
Butler, and what has been their biggest surprise of the past two years.

i seriously don't think he is gay..just because he has like a semi soft voice doesn't make him gay at all.

[TheMyoubi]

@hollyrogs Because Reggie and his sister are black. He's the band's leader. It's simple, catchy and the other member thought so too.

[hollyrogs]

[KruBahbie]

[MiLadyCutie9]

they do that just to see comments like this trying to dissect every single act that they do

[Blastaar7]

uh, so is this guy gay or what. I don't get this new style where you really go out of your way to seem gay, then it turns out you aren't.
