Cool

2 July 2008

Yesterday I popped down to DPMHI in Soho to check out The Cool Kids ‘Bake Sale’ – think an in-store, but with cookies and beer (what event isn’t better with the addition of cookies and beer?). It was – of course – great fun, and was all in aid of promoting The Cool Kids’ album ‘The Bake Sale’ (hence the cookies…) which is out in August.

The Cool Kids aren’t the normal indie-shmindie that normally graces these pages; they’re hip hop, and good hip hop at that. It’s not a genre that I normally frequent in quite frankly, but ‘The Bake Sale’ is one of my most listened to albums of the last couple of months. It’s got groove – if you’re not normally a hip hop listener I heartily recommend it.

Here’s the video for ‘Black Mags’ as a little sampler – for more check out their MySpace:

Of course, I took a few photos while I was there – need to get a wide angle lens though…
