The Supreme Cool Beings were a lo-fi indie band from Olympia, Washington that formed in 1982. They consisted of Heather Lewis, Gary Allen May and Doug Monaghan. They gigged around Olypmia and Tacoma for roughly half a year before recording "Surival of the Coolest" live on KAOS-FM.

The Supreme Cool Beings were seminally Olympian in a number of ways: they often did not use a bass guitar, had both male and female vocals, a female drummer, and played in multiple bands at the same time. Though now commonplace, these features were quite unusual in 1982.

The following year, Heather Lewis began playing with Laura Carter and Calvin Johnson in Laura, Heather and Calvin, which became Beat Happening when Bret Lunsford joined in August, 1983.

Trivia: They were the first band to release on the "K" record label. .
