DAS RACIST Returns to San Francisco with Special Guests on Friday July 29th at Mezzanine Nightclub

Das Racist makes exclusive Bay Area appearance this summer at bigger venue, with last two shows selling out in SF and Oakland

East meets West – coastally and globally – when the Das Racist rhyme machine returns to San Francisco for a musical carnival at the Mezzanine Nightclub on July 29th. Special guest performances include Punjabi funk-hop group BlackMahal and Ren the Vinyl Archeologist. Das Racist aims to put on an unforgettable night of collective body-shaking, beat-bumping, and flow-spitting fun.

Hailing from Brooklyn, Das Racist is a critically acclaimed hip-hop trio that is a self described white guilt art project, science experiment, and ponzi scheme piloted by the likes of Heems, KOOL A.D., and hype man Dapwell. Das Racist comes to San Francisco once again as part of their goal of “one day making a million dollars.”

BlackMahal is a San Francisco-based live music experience complete with Dhol drums, DJs, horns, hip-hop MCs, and the godfather of Punjabi-American music, Ustad Lal Singh Bhatti. The group will be performing new material from their upcoming debut album, Music+Love+Dancing.

The event will also feature other cultural offerings, including the world premier of Fair and Lovely Inside, a film by Sandeep Sood.

The band has rocked major concerts across North America including the 2010 Vancouver Olympics with features in Rolling Stone, Wired, The San Francisco Chronicle, and rotation on the BBC Radio 1.
