Members from Incursa went on to form punk icons False Start and Goodnight Nurse , which McCarthy still belongs to as a guitarist . Arts and McCarthy then formed Kids of 88 . In releasing the first Kids of 88 album , Sugarpills , McCarthy said that the duo tried to produce a variety of material rather than just the familiarly slutty " My House " and " Just A Little Bit " ( released earlier as singles ) . Their style is broadly a fusion of electropop and 1980 's style dance music . They describe it as " a cross between a late 80 's police drama intro theme and a sophisticated super hussy " . A reviewer has said " while reminiscent of early 80s synthpop , they are n't a direct copy of their antecedents . There 's also a touch of 2010 punk swagger and adrenaline , where dance ca n't ignore what 's been achieved in R&B and hip-hop " . McCarthy and Arts produced the album themselves and worked with a simple technical set-up out of a bedroom . At the 2010 New Zealand Music Awards , Kids of 88 won " Single of the Year " and ( with Tim Van Dammen ) " Music Video of the Year " for their single Just a Little Bit
