The Cool Kids – What Up Man
Tags
Biography
Chicago, United States (2005 – present)
The members of The Cool Kids met in 2005 when Reed found a beat on the internet that Ingersoll had produced. The two met to discuss terms of the beat’s sale, and eventually ended up recording for two hours. They were inspired by hip hop in the 1980s and artists like Eric B. & Rakim. Ingersoll began promoting the new duo’s material, and it was eventually booked by Josh Young of Flosstradamus for a DJ performance. At this performance (in a venue called Town Hall Pub), the duo met the electronic musician Diplo who offered to release a mixtape of their unreleased tracks titled Totally Flossed Out on his label Mad Decent, though it was eventually released on C.A.K.E. Recordings. They also received an offer from the DJ A-Trak to sign to his fool’s gold label, which they did, but only for one single.
Up until recently, all material had been released solely on the band’s MySpace page—their recording contract came after performances at the CMJ Music Festival and Pitchfork Music Festival, on July 15, 2007.

I can't believe nobody listened to Fish. It was probably as good as Bake Sale, just bad timing. Long live The Cool Kids.

what the hell happened to them? Bake Sale was amazing and it's been nothing but downhill from there. Gone Fishing was str8 up garbage and When Fish Ride Bicycles was bad too.
