This Brooklyn-based trio, who have surprisingly played shows with Das Racist, make beautiful gauzy dream pop. This debut single from them is a good intro to the band so check it out.
Das Racist Want You To Sit Down, Man
So Toronto, how stoked are you on the upcoming Das Racist show? So stoked that the show at Wrongbar (happening on January 28th) has been sold out now for almost three weeks. It’s been a long time coming, but people are going crazy looking forward to this show, including myself. You may love them or love to hate them. Whatever the case may be, these clever, humorous & intelligent rappers are coming.
When the opportunity came along to interview Das Racist about the upcoming Toronto show, I snatched it up. I’d heard varying things, like they were great to interview (see Village Voice article here or New Yorker article here) but then I’d read elsewhere that they had been difficult to interview (CNN article here or more recently Cake In 15 Blog here). Considering I’m a fan, I went in with an open mind and was excited to speak with them. I follow Heems on Twitter and on Tumblr and personally thought that “Sit Down, Man” was one of the best mix tapes of 2010. So I had an idea and sense of the humour I was in for.
Now without further ado, it is my great personal honour to present to you the best interview I’ve ever had, brought in part by Das Racist….
Visit Pink Mafia for the interview: http://pinkmafia.ca/blog/2011/01/22/das-racist-want-you-to-sit-down-man/
I’m interviewing Das Racist today.
Watch for the interview coming in the next week or so.
It is previewing the upcoming show here in Toronto on January 28th at Wrongbar.

Love the wordplay these guys have. They can seemingly be talking about nothing & everything all at once. So stoked to finally see them live here in Toronto on January 23rd!
