Black Kids is a fun band that had a fleeting taste of popularity in 2007 with the pop hit “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You.”
They made a bit of comeback with 2017’s “Rookie”, but I haven’t heard much from them since.
I’m sorry to have missed them the first time around, but I’ve been enjoying them since I heard about them.
Are there any bands you were late to the party to learn about? (But not too late, because that would upset Ellie.)
Thank you for your continued support of Deadsplinter!
That’s right! Be on time, daggonit.

Sorry, Link only.
And here is a band that Keitel found first, so I was late to that party.
Juniper berries can only mean one thing:
That is true, Hendrick’s or Boodles are my favorites.
I was very tempted to post Handsome Boy Modeling School just to mess with Keitel, lol. I’d never heard of them until DUAN, and I do like them so technically it would count.
@Hannibal
Hannibal might respect you enough to refrain from posting, but I won’t be deterred…especially when you need to learn The Truth about #art:
@myopicprophet, so glad that you are back
@myopicprophet Just post this. It all sounds the same
The Poncés – Beautiful Songs That Tell You Terrible Things
Spin Doctors – What Time is It?
Janelle Monae- I knew she was out there, hell, she was everywhere. That was the problem, I couldn’t see how someone getting that much exposure could be making music I wanted to hear. I resisted listening to her for a long time. But I was wrong, she’s so good.
She’s sooo good! Triple threat!
Queen – Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy
Big Sugar – Sleep in Late
My favorite damn cover of this song:
CAKE – I Will Survive (Live)
This goes out to @farscythe
lol…nice
i think ill go with
Those guys sound great. I was previously unfamiliar with them myself.
I get a lot of good indie rock tips from the folks here. Like Kevin Morby who I was way late to the party with. Good stuff.
This is GREAT! Thanks for sharing.
I love it so much!
I went to visit a friend I helped move back home from Toronto to PEI a few years ago and her family kept talking about how awesome the Honeymoon Suite concert they once went to was. I kept saying “I don’t know who Honeymoon Suite is.”
When I returned home, I found myself singing along to a song playing on the radio station I listen to and I heard the DJ say that it was Honeymoon Suite and it turned out that I liked and knew a lot of their songs. Then, as some of you know, just before Covid, I went to a Honeymoon Suite concert and it was amazing. I don’t know if this counts as being late to the party as I have always liked their songs but never knew the name of the band.
Stay in the Light by Honeymoon Suite:
one more,
Taylor Swift – Style
and for theme…
Little too Late by Pat Benatar:
Also on theme – Fashion Is Danger
Here is a robot punk band that is new:
Ahem, they appear to play more chords than do the Lurkers.
Speaking of fashion, today in 1983 Madonna released her first album. Can one imagine the 80s without Madonna?
Madonna fashion was a definite thing.
I loved Madonna in the 80’s.
Of course you did xo
Can’t go wrong with the classics
A couple of months ago, I felt like listening to “Isolation” by Joy Division, so I went looking for it on YouTube – as opposed to, you know, just pulling out one of my CDs and playing it. Instead, I found this faithful and endearing live cover of it by a band called Cold Cave, also featuring Mark Lanegan on vocals. It was uploaded on May 18, which was also the 40th anniversary of Ian Curtis’s suicide.
I was late to Hugh Cornwell and The Stranglers. Cornwell’s recent stuff has been a revelation during the pandemic for me.
But The Stranglers have been working well without Cornwell.
I’m not taking sides. Both work well for me.
