The cool kids w/ free sol, dj mel
Wed. 08/20 | 7:00PM @ Emo's (Downtown)
In an era when the majority of hip-hop music dominating the mainstream sounds like it was all stamped out in the same factory, The Cool Kids came out of nowhere last year with a style that is …more»
“88” is hardly a coincidental track name. With its dawn-of-Def Jam bang clamoring through June’s The Bake Sale EP, Chi-Town’s Cool Kids drop enough kick-snare minimalism to throw James Todd Smith for a loop. Out banging elbows with hip-hop’s elite on this summer’s Rock the Bells tour, Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish split their Windy City time shopping fly gear and laying bars for When Fish Ride Bicycles, due out this fall. – Chase Hoffberger

The second song on Evangelista’s latest album, Hello, Voyager (Constellation), hits the nail on the head. Carla Bozulich howls, “I’m inclined to keep my mind,” over a militaristic beat and flailing guitar, her rant punctuated by short screams. The song’s called “Smooth Jazz.”

"King Eider, Carla Bozulich, Xiu Xiu; Inside Later: Death Is Not a Joyride"
Wed. 08/20 | 9:00PM @ The Mohawk (Downtown)
Chicago hip-hop duo The Cool Kids (Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish), stirred the sheets in 2007 with well-received live shows and a sleepy, bass-burbling single called “Black Mags.” This year will almost certainly be their breakout: They’ve signed to Chocolate Industries, an underground hip-hop label with releases by Money Mark, Vast Aire, and Lady Sovereign, and they have an uncommonly dexterous way of infusing boom-bap beats with clever rhymes and hipster cool. The Cool Kids will play here in support of their long-delayed debut, The Bake Sale. Opening: Free Sol, DJ Mel.
