Kids Of 88

School friends Sam McCarthy and Jordan Arts formed electropop duo Kids of 88 in 2008 after initially playing in their own bands (McCarthy was in pop-punk act Goodnight Nurse). They described their sound as "an alleyway gangbang between Grandmaster Flash and The Knack". Their debut single 'Our House' was a theme song for TV Channel C4 and entered the charts at number four. The follow-up 'Just A Little Bit' won best single and video at the 2010 NZ Music Awards. In 2011, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton declared them "breakout act" at the American SxSW festival.
