Other songs and SXSW artists you may enjoy

"Although the Awesome Cool Dudes are constantly picking up and then quickly disposing of disparate slivers of pop culture detritus, Maxin and Relaxin never hits the stall point. True to their name, ACD leave behind an awesome mess." --Austin Chronicle

"Awesome Cool Dudes are like a rapper trapped inside a country folk musician trapped inside Elton John trapped inside a recording studio on Mars. They remind me of those nested wooden Russian Dolls"--Shmat Records

"But it's perfect. They look like some scruffy junkies who decided to start a basketball team. They have the initials of the band on their jerseys and I can imagine them just showing up on a playground and challenging some little kids to a game of basketball, partly because they probably couldn't beat any bigger kids. And the kids would think they were just a bunch of retards that escaped from some special school or something.

They are like, say, if you took out only the good parts of an eighties new-wave band and melded it together with the Flaming Lips and the noisy fun aspects of Pavement. Something like that maybe, but not too much of the new-wave band thing."
--Slightly Confusing to a Stranger (www.sctas.com)
