COOLNESS QUOTIENT
Impressive. Lil Wayne and Barack Obama are fans.
High. Score Bjork and Arcade Fire's Manager
BLACKNESS QUOTIENT
Solid. Both Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish are African-American, though many of their fans tend to be quite a few shades paler.
Mild. Frontman Reggie Youngblood and his sister, keyboardist Ali, are African-American. Their three bandmates, not so much.
KID-NESS QUOTIENT
Medium. Chuck is 23; Mikey is 20.
Low. Average age of the members is 24.
