Kids of 88's candy-coated synth-pop debut Sugarpills won the duo of Jordan Arts and Sam McCarthy an army of mainstream supporters both here and abroad, plus the backing of high-profile advocates like celebrity blogger Perez Hilton and US popette Ke$ha.

Sam Wicks met up with the Kids for an update on their sound.
