Upcoming: DAS RACIST Live @ FiveSixty
Note: this show has been postponed until further notice. Too High Crew and Lanse Base will still be playing this date.
Winnie’s been sitting on a huge announcement for the past couple of weeks and I’m finally able to announce that yes, the rumors are true.
Brooklyn based trio Das Racist will be hitting up FiveSixty Nightclub on Thursday, May 3 with local guests Lanse Base and Too High Crew, as well as Winnie’s very own Dj Wobangs. It’s going to be a musical Christmas for everyone with killer taste.
Lanse Base – Thrift Shop Pawn Shop
Advanced tickets are only $15.00 and you can cop them online or at Red Cat, Beatstreet, or Zulu Records. Doors are at 8:00pm, show at 9:00pm. Additional information can be found on our event page.
And just one more thing before I leave to go swoon over my lover Heems. Das are featured in the new issue of Tepsic Magazine and to celebrate such a joyous occasion they’ve made an exclusive mix that ya’ll defs need to download. Check it below.

New Das Racist Lp – Relax
Our boy @blood_diamond5 is behind this new Das Racist single. Apparently they hit him up on twitter and was like, “Can we rap on this beat, Girl..?”. The rest is HIStory. Apparently it’s the lead single.
And another new one.
Stream the whole new album here and check out an interview with Nardwuar.

Winnie Goes to Bumbershoot!
Last time I was given a Press Pass I ended up washing my feet in Vampire Weekend’s porta-potty sink and was pulled over by a cop on the way home for going 25km/hour on the upper levels highway and crying.
So this could go either way.
T-minus 2.5 weeks until Seattle’s Bumbershoot. The only Festival hosting the Presidents of the United States of America and Hall and Oats on the same stage. “Peaches” and You “Make My Dreams Come True,” Together. As it was always meant to be.
Festival is September 3rd to 5th; tickets still available, $90 for a three-day pass, $35 for a single day.
Other acts include Tennis, P.S I Love You, YACHT, Das Racist and Big Boi. Click here for full line up.

Here it is u guyz… Winnie Cooper’s Sasquatch! 2011 review! Words by Dolly Compton.
TOP TEN SHOWS:
• MSTRKRFT
• Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
• Sleigh Bells

• Ratatat
• White Arrows
• Foster the People
• !!!
• Das Racist
• Matt and Kim
DAY 1 FRIDAY HIGHLIGHTS:
DFA 1979: I had to keep myself from headbanging too hard so my neck wouldn’t be too sore for the rest of the weekend.
Foo Fighters: Dave Grohl is a modern icon, and he brought out Bob Mould from Hüsker Dü who shredded like he’d risen from hell.
DAY 2 SATURDAY HIGHLIGHTS:
Aloe Blacc: I need a dollar…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR6oYX1D-0w[/youtube]
The Antlers: Fantastic performance in broad daylight! The sunshine made their set more powerful and surreal than they’ve been at indoors venues in the past.
Washed Out: Ernest Greene tapped into the house market with a booming four-to-the-floor that overpowered the twinkling melodies and pillow-talk vocals.
The Glitch Mob: 3 iPad nerds geeking out on some heavy synth and drum machine apps and putting on a better show than Bassnectar (due2power)
Matt and Kim: They sampled every hip hop great and Kim did a handstand while shaking her booty like you would not believe.
Sleigh Bells: Alexis Krauss is the hottest bitch on the planet! Combining everything you could want: bangin’ beats and metal.
Robyn: Sasquatch! 2011 had so many amazing female performers. Robyn ate a banana on stage and, as one of my friends put it, was dancing “like she was from another planet.”
DAY 3 SUNDAY HIGHLIGHTS:
Beach House: Another female babe, Victoria Legrand commanded the hearts of every girl and the loins of every boy in the audience. It was sunny and beautiful during their set and I wept during “Take Care.”
Cold War Kids: My friends were passed out drunk in front of City and Colour so I went to the mainstage where Cold War Kids were surprisingly great!
Flogging Molly: Everyone caught a second wind for this set and jumped around dancing to Irish punk.
Das Racist: They pulled off the best audience interaction all weekend, making people choose between laughing and dancing. A white girl in a red bikini flashed them and Dap told her to “Eat something.”
Gold Panda: Money set in the Banana Shack dance tent. Expected nothing less.
Flying Lotus: A huge crowd came for Flying Lotus and you could tell he was just as stoked as they were.
MSTRKRFT: #FrenchHouse! I felt like I couldn’t dance hard enough for how good this show was.
Ratatat: Amazing visuals. They had a giant 3-D parrot that was hanging out on the side of the stage. The audience all looked like they were having out of body experiences.
DAY 4 MONDAY HIGHLIGHTS:
Black Mountain: Vancouver’s own! Dark, dance-able rock. So so good.
White Arrows: All these guys are babes. The crowd quadrupled during their set.
Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings: Soul good on the mainstage. Sharon wore a royal blue flapper dress and had everyone on their feet getting down to soul jams like this or this.
Foster the People: Every Sasquatch bro’s summer anthem
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDTZ7iX4vTQ[/youtube]
!!! (“Chk Chk Chk”): Lead singer Nic Offer was gyrating like Prince, strutting into the crowd to ham and steal the audience’s clothing. Glad I saw it!
Skrillex: Dub-step sweetheart Skrillex opened the door from a room of brostep euphoria LFOs into some hallways of dnb roots, dancehall, and not enough French house.
Major Lazer: Diplo and Switch ended Sasquatch! 2011 with a rager in the dance tent, narrowly avoiding a bum-rush after inviting ten girls onstage, and telling the audience that they were going to “F*ck everybody.”
THE ONE TO WATCH:
DJ Anjali and the Incredible Kid: Portland bollyhood DJs who played an unprecedented all four days! Catch them in Portland before they get too big!
NAUGHTY LIST:
Yeasayer: Somewhere along the line these guys decided they wanted to be a boring indie rock band. They played mostly their new album with a neutered version of “O.N.E.” and you could tell they were bored. At least change your name if you’re going to be a completely different band.
Best Coast: Expectedly sarcastic, unexpectedly boring.
