Das Racist

Hey, party people! Come join us tomorrow April 14th at Santos Party House for a night of free and amazing fun. What better way to spend your Wednesday night (and ruin your Thursday morning) than with the sounds of Bottle Up & Go, The Hush Now, Streetlab, and a DJ set by Das Racist?

RSVP here!

STREETLAB:

"Maybe the Streetlab guys go to parties I don't go to, parties where serpentine bass quashes and jagged electro -house stutter have commandeered the sound of the city that never sleeps, killing classic disco with one blast of a supersonic laser gun." -Rcrd_Lbl

DAS RACIST:

"Das Racist are a Brooklyn/San Francisco “zip hop” duo who rap about stuff like fast food restaurants and Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez over hyphy beats that sound like they were cooked up in about three minutes on a thrift-store Casio. Which is to say: They’re pretty amazing." - MTV Newsroom

THE HUSH NOW:

"Is it festive? Yes, deliciously so. They filter the influence of Phil Spector, Bing Crosby, etc, through a charming haze of psychedelic guitar pop." ­ UK Telegraph

BOTTLE UP AND GO:

"Bottle Up And Go" is born and bred to go with Jack Daniels from the bottle (and a gun shoved down one's sock.) It's the most enticing mix of blues mixed with garage band punk we've heard in a while." – RCRD LBL

Concerned about money this holiday season? No need to worry anymore! Watch the video here as Das Racist, teamed up with Death + Taxes magazine and chef Ian Knauer, cook up a very inexpensive, yet festive meal.

“Pitchfork.com? I don’t even read thaaat....” This biting claim of indifference from Das Racist hasn’t prevented them from impressing the folks at Pitchfork. Their catchy stoner anthem “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” appeared in Pitchfork Media's Best New Tracks section yesterday with an 8 out of 10 rating. Editor-in-Chief Scott Plagenhoef called the track "a critique of commercialism/lack of a leisure culture" and “a funny, stupid, silly, brainy, knowing song all at once.” Perez Hilton also chimed in about the Brooklyn duo exclaiming, "This song is so stupid, but we kinda love it! and went on to joke that, "It will clobber you over the head and beat you into submission until you like it too! Check out the full Pitchfork post and Perez post and while you're at it, give the addictive track yet another listen... You know you can’t resist.
