Das Racist

Overview

Whether you think of them as a bunch of clever rap satirists or a jokey crew of clowns, one thing about Das Racist remains unambiguous — their music is fun and catchy as hell. Since exploding into the public consciousness in 2008 with the unavoidable 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell', the New-York-based trio have gone from strength to strength over the last few years. And while each subsequent release has garnered further critical praise and commercial success, the question has remained the same: do we take them seriously or not?

Perhaps the real question is: who cares?

Das Racist will be arriving in Sydney in a matter of days to play this year’s Big Day Out, but their first Sydney show will be the night before at the Oxford Art Factory. Having released their full-length debut Relax in September, their sideshow might be your only chance to catch their new tunes as well as their crazy live antics. With support from True Vibenation and Simo Soo, this promises to be a mighty fun night.
