Of all the insane stuff we've seen at SXSW so far - including a very jovial Bill Murray causing chaos by serving drinks behind the bar at the Shangri-La last night - the craziest stage show we've seen so far has to have come from Brooklyn rappers, Das Racist.
The trio - Himanshu Raps, Kool AD and Dap - were joined on the back patio stage at the Iron Gate on Thursday afternoon, by a mystery man half-heartedly playing a bucket with drumsticks. He also spent half the set wielding a rake we assume he'd acquired from somewhere within the bar.
The set's antics included rampant banana-consumption, Bollywood dancing, an audience-member kidnap, hat theft, a series of bizarre shout-outs (including "Make some noise if you have a general disposition towards feeling weird except for when you're in your room on the internet!") and requests for the audience to chant "White people! White people! White people!"
But the thing that made their set truly sweet were the incredibly witty, smart and zeitgeist-capturing rhymes these three were spittin'.
Check out their video for "Rainbow In The Dark" for a brief insight into the world of Das Racist (Warning: video contains a naked man hiding behind a boom-box):
After SXSW, the guys will be playing a series of shows up and down the East Coast. Check their MySpace page for dates... You don't wanna miss this.
