THE COOL KIDS - LIVE IN CONCERT - THURS AUG 27 - LEE'S PALACE

REMG ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS
THE COOL KIDS

(Toronto – Friday, July 10, 2009) – REMG Entertainment is proud to present The Cool Kids live in concert at Lee’s Palace on Thursday, August 27.

In the packed confines of clubs around their hometown of Chicago and throughout the world The Cool Kids' irresistible, hooky rhymes and club cramming beats seamlessly bridge the old and new schools of hip hop while assuring them a sure-fire path to world-wide attention.

Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks met on MySpace in 2005 while Chuck was attending Illinois Art Institute in Chicago and Mikey was still in High School. In August 2006, under a year from their formation, the duo began performing at venues and parties around the city. They grabbed the attention of breakout DJs Flosstradamus, who were responsible for a much-hyped monthly dance night at the Town Hall Pub in Chicago. They invited The Cool Kids to appear and word of their energizing performances spread quickly.

After hosting reviews of several of their mp3s, Pitchfork offered The Cool Kids a coveted spot at the 2007 Pitchfork Festival, where they shared the stage with De La Soul and Clipse. Impressed by their talents, DJ Benzi gave the duo space in a track entitled "Getting It" where the two decidedly hold their own pitted against Lil Wayne, one of the most inventive, competitive, and successful MCs in the world. Their songs "Mikey Rocks" and "88" have been featured in the HBO series Entourage and the game NBA Live08, respectively. The video for the debut single "Black Mags." was featured on MTVu's Freshman Five.

Most recently The Cool Kids released Gone Fishing, a free mixtape available for download on their website. It’s their second official mixtape after 2007's That's Stupid!. The mixtape features guest appearances from Ludacris, Bun B and GLC and serves as an appetizer for their forthcoming album When Fish Ride Bicycles.
