DAS RACIST will play the Firestone Live on Friday, October 7th. Tickets are available here.
When Das Racist first came out with their song 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell' a few years ago, you'd have been forgiven for dismissing them as flash-in-the-pan novelties. Against all odds, though, it turns out that they're actually great. Last year's mixtapes 'Shut Up Dude' and 'Sit Down Man' showed a band with some genuinely funny rhymes, solid choruses and killer beats. There were references to A Tribe Called Quest, Days of Our Lives, 80s video games, and Dwight Schrute. They had heavyweights like Diplo and El-P onboard. And they made a terrific video, which you can see above. Now they've got a new single called 'Michael Jackson', and a first "proper" album, called 'Relax' coming out in September. I can almost guarantee that this will be a fun show.
