Pitchfork

We've anticipated the release of the Cool Kids' debut EP, The Bake Sale, for some time, but now that they have the backing of new label Chocolate Industries, Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks are ready to make good on its arrival.

The 10-track EP is scheduled to hit iTunes on May 20, followed by a June 10 release to brick-and-mortar stores and other digital retailers. A new mixtape, That's Stupid, will precede The Bake Sale with a release via the Cool Kids' new website in the next week.

Additionally, the Kids have announced the title of another new release for us to anticipate. It's their full-length debut, and it's called When Fish Ride Bicycles. (Does this mean the Cool Kids are professing their support for the feminist movement? -- Ed)

In the midst of revealing release info, the Cool Kids still found time to firm up some tour dates. May is full of U.S. dates for the duo, including a performance in cooperation with the touring Darfur Now documentary. Summer brings European shows (with even more to be announced!), their Lollapalooza set, and their inclusion on the traveling Rock the Bells festival bill.
