    The three-minute Flipcam concert: Das Racist gets silly in a Williamsburg bar

    Posted in The Volume by The Volume on July 30th, 2009 at 12:47 pm

    If you’re a sentient indie music fan with Internet access, or perhaps a Times subscription, chances are you’ve heard Das Racist’s infectious novelty-rap track “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.” As we watched the song go viral, we here at the Volume knew we had to contact the Brooklyn duo, Himanshu Suri and Victor Vazquez, and arrange an in-person meeting. The objective? To find out if the project has legs. After watching Suri and Vazquez’s exclusive impromptu performance of “Art School”—filmed last night in Williamsburg watering hole Savalas with The Warriors projected in the background—we think you’ll agree that they have a lot more to offer the world than just their current smash. Click past the jump for a bonus bathroom chat with the Das Racist boys, and catch them live at Bowery Ballroom next Thursday (August 6).
