I say Cool.... You say Kids..... Cool Kids..... Cool Kids....Last night, I found myself again down in the Chinatown end of Tribeca to see Chicago's The Cool Kids. The night before I found myself at 100 Layfette AKA Santos Play House for some soiree. Is chinatown becoming the new L.E.S?
The Cool Kids consists of Antoine "Mikey Rocks" Reed and Evan "Chuck Inglish" Ingersoll who interestingly found each other on MySpace a few years back. And as they stated as lit up an incendary stage after the hot sounds of HEAVy(BBE), Mickey Factz and Egg Foo Young, they are here to be the new beastie boys. Here to bring us back to "88"(also name of one of their songs).
Making old school new....
And they did. The crowd- many of whom I question to have experienced the year 88 personnally- quickly put up their hands in the air and danced like they really could care. Putcha hands, putcha hands up.... And the Cool Kids filled the smoldering room (about 100 degrees in fact) with their refreshing smooth, tongue-in-cheek rhymes over basics back beats and simple samplings.
Being soo hot was never soo cool.....
And the Cool Kids, well, they are on their way to be the hottest thing around.
