Chicago, United States (2005 – present)

The Cool Kids are a hip hop duo from Chicago, Illinois consisting of Antoine “Mikey Rocks” Reed and Evan “Chuck Inglish” Ingersoll (originally from Detroit). They are signed to the independent Chocolate Industries via their own label C.A.K.E. Recordings. After meeting in 2005, and releasing three mixtapes onto the internet through their MySpace page, they released their debut EP The Bake Sale in 2008. They are now preparing to release their first LP, When Fish Ride Bicycles, sometime in 2009.

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 just randomly fell in love with "Summer Vacations" the other night. I can't remember the last time I've heard someone capture the summer mood so perfectly in a song.

i know Don Cannon is annoying but DJs have been namedropping since like the 80s. Eventually you can get over it, and on most songs one Gone Fishing he only does it in the beginning. Once you get passed that it's not so bad.

Any album that has the fucking DJ dropping his name 6 times or more in the middle of the fucking songs is a waste of time and shouldn't be listened to. Gone Fishing is bullshit.
