The rest of New Zealand know Kids Of 88 better as architects of the Platinum selling debut single ‘My House’, and follow up single ‘Just A Little Bit’ which is a top 3 seller at iTunes. And the rest of the world? A UK Ltd Ed 7” of ‘My House’ already released through Dryden Street / East City Records, official remixes for Ke$ha &Cobra Starship, and Zane Lowe recently playing new demo ‘Ribbons Of Light’ on his UK Radio 1 Evening Session have certainly paved the way for arresting first impressions.

Having already become intimate with the chart-conquering 'My House', new single 'Just A Little Bit' is currently sinking it's fangs into your brainstem. Fans can also expect an album mid-July.
