Né d’une rencontre en studio, le duo No Money Kids enregistre ses premiers morceaux et se fait remarquer lors des premiers concerts parisiens. Le tandem attire rapidement l’attention des médias et écume les salles et les festivals jusqu’à la sortie du premier album I Don’t Trust You en Octobre 2015, une production DIY qui surprend d’emblée.
L' « electro-blues » de No Money Kids cherche la beauté dans la douleur, l’imagerie clair-obscur développée par le groupe séduit le monde de la mode (défilés Schwarzkopf, Stylist, Glamour, Modzik) et inspire les premiers clips avec des réalisateurs internationaux. En 2016, le duo est repéré par le haut-de-gamme du prêt-à-porter, désigné groupe ‘‘découverte’’ de la marque Cotélac avec la création d’un EP promotionnel, 15.000 exemplaires distribués dans plus 110 boutiques en France et à l’étranger. Les hymnes rock de No Money Kids séduisent également les ‘music supervisors’ outre-atlantique : nombre de leurs singles se retrouvent dans des séries TV - Banshee, Night Shift, Veep, Killjoys, Goliath (avec Billy Bob Thornton), Dollar - ou dans des films - Misconduct (avec Al Pacino et Anthony Hopkins) et Baby, Baby, Baby (avec Bradley Cooper).
Avec un premier album remarqué et plus d’une centaine de concerts qui leur forgent une solide réputation scénique, No Money Kids prend de la bouteille, pas du pinard ou des bulles bourgeoises, mais un bon vieux whisky tourbeux. Au Printemps 2017, les Kids génération Larry Clark reviennent avec l’album Hear the Silence. Les productions soignées sont encensées par la critique (Inrockuptibles, Rolling Stone, Le Monde, Jack, Oüi, FIP) et les nouvelles tournées les amènent à fouler les planches de festivals de renom tels que Rock en Seine 2017 ou Solidays 2018.
Après avoir voyagé aux quatre coins de la France et de l'Europe, No Money Kids est aujourd’hui de retour avec l'audacieux Trouble (16 Novembre 2018), troisième long-format en quatre ans, prouvant une nouvelle fois que le groupe est tout aussi prolifique en studio que sur scène.
Graveyard
No Money Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Right to her door
She’s waiting for love
She wants more
She’s one of the dolls
I came to earth to please you
She’s outside the law
« now man you will do what I wanna do
Hey baby, do this up and down
And the graveyard’s still alive
Come on do this up and down
And the graveyard’s still alive
Hey baby, be the one now
Tonight I want more
I’ve never known how to do it
Let me open the door, girl
Sweet and pure and lonely
My heart just can’t beat
Without your skin upon me
I want some blood
Hey baby, do this up and down
And the graveyard’s still alive
Red leaves and dirty ground
And the graveyard ’s still alive
Come on do this up and down
And the graveyard’s still alive
Shaking by your hands
I need it
Shaking by your hands
I want it
Hey baby, do this up and down
And the graveyard’s still alive
Come on do this up and down
And the graveyard’s still alive
Red leaves and dirty ground
