Camp-outs and concerts in tandem automatically conjure images of mud-covered revelers at Woodstock swaying to the beat of somebody’s guitar and professing everything is love under a certain herbal haze.

Don’t expect flower power when Cool Kids step on the stage at Coachella Music Festival this weekend. Chuck 23 and Mikey Rocks, the Cool Kids, are better known for the kind of heavy, spare beats and verbal acrobatics that are more likely to knock the petals off said flowers.

The duo got together a few years ago after Chuck 23 heard one of Mikey Rocks’ beats online and reached out to him. It was kismet: they decided to collaborate and good thing for us, it worked out. Over the past two years, the duo rose from the Chicago underground on the strength of their beats and rhymes on a string of indie rap hits that include “Gold and a Pager” and “Black Mags” the latter a shout-out to BMX bikes.

Not content to let the sleeping dog lie, they’re set to release “The Bake Sale” EP on May 20 and an as-yet-untitled full length album later this year on their label, C.A.K.E. Recordings.
