Them boys are up to something again! This past month Das Racist organized the New York Times-approved MinorityFest in their hometown of Brooklyn. The night consisted of a panel discussion on race moderated by Das Racist, comedy sets from six up-and-coming comedians including Ali Wong and Kumail Nanjiani, and performances by the boys themselves amongst others. Earfarm.com called the night "a good time - and different. Think college dorm party meets intellectual salon." Fresh off the heels of that project Das Racist is putting the immigrant work ethic they've inherited to good use and pressing onward with a busy winter. This past week they premiered their video for "Rainbow in the Dark," directed by frequent collaborator Jordan Fish. They also recently launched their website, http://www.dasracist.net, which was designed by Fish.
As if that wasn't enough, the boys will be playing shows across New York and they will make their way to their alma mater Wesleyan University for a February 12 date. Come March, you can see them at SXSW and by then they'll have even more tunes for you to rock to on the train with their Shut Up, Dude Mixtape set to release prior to then
