The Cool Kids
Wednesday, November 2
Homecoming Concert
w/ The Cool Kids,
Chiddy Bang,
Hoodie Allen,
Legion Field
Chicago/Detroit-based duo
The Cool Kids is hip-hop for
the cool kids. Hipster taste-
maker Pitchfork was an early
fan, but Chuck Inglish and
Mikey Rocks rode into the
scene on a huqe wave of hype, garnering attention in Rolb'ng Stone, Spin, The New Yorker,
Fader and the cover of URB before ever putting out a single. Flagpole hopped onboard
the praise train, too; we were drawn to the nerdy charm of the band's 2008 EP debut. The
Bake Sale, with its songs about playing Sega and eating Fruity Pebbles.
On their new album, When Fish Ride Bicycles, The Cool Kids venture in bolder direc
tions, filling out their sound with help from a slew of big name musicians while never
being totally overshadowed by the guests' star power. Travis Barker adds uncomplicated
but resonant depth behind the drums on "Sour Apples," rapper Bun B is featured on
"Gas Station," and Wu-Tang Clansman Ghostface Killah makes an appearance on "Penny
Hardaway." While most of the record is self-produced, they did manage to recruit Pharrell
Williams (N.E.R.D., Neptunes) to work his knob-twiddling magic on "Summer Jam."
Lyrically, The Cool Kids pay tribute to Chicago summers and looking fly all year long.
The fashion-conscious pair offers hook-heavy rhymes that go down smoothly, backed by
booming 808s and surprising electronic elements. So, while the guys may have parted
ways with their prior minimalist tendencies, they haven't totally abandoned their old-
school influences. When Fish Ride Bicycles has just put The Cool Kids in an even bet
ter position for mass consumption with a more polished product and some celebrity
credibility.
The duo's upcoming appearance in Athens is part of UGA's homecoming celebration, so
admission is totally free for students with a valid UGA ID. Non-students are welcome as
well, and tickets are $10 in advance or $20 at the gate. [Michelle Gilzenrat]
