We just warned you that these three Beijing bands, touring the US for the first time starting this week, are the best. Enjoy this picture-logged recap of yesterday's show! Packed! Oh, man. It was packed. Everyone wanted a sight of these guys. Kids climbed banisters, leaned over the balcony, flooded

Unsigned, 20-year-old rapper Angel Haze blew our minds and renewed our faith in the power of rhyme with her recent King mixtape. We wrote insanely hyperbolic things about her fast and fanciful style and every bit of it was true. We're not alone in our rap crush either -- Fader, Vixen, and her

It began as another typical Saturday night in New York City. I was hanging out in Koreatown with my friends, fellow Korean Studies graduate students, downing shots of soju (a strong, distilled beverage that tastes either like sweet vodka or Draino, depending on who you talk to), when we began

Would you be into a movie about a sentient car tire? Who goes on a killing rampage through the Mojave desert? If you’re like, "Totally! And where can I get the soundtrack?," then Quentin Dupieux, who just directed a feature film with the above plot, is the artist and musician for you. When

Flashback. It's 1970-ish in South Africa. Apartheid would be in full swing for another couple of decades. In the white fringes of Cape Town and Pretoria, a culture was forming...a group of rednecks known as Zef. Back then, Zef was associated with mullets, old puttering cars, cheap clothes, hard

Das Racist are not the first "hyper-link rappers" -- the act of referencing other forms of music or pop culture has been around since the days of "Rapper's Delight" and before. Everyone from Jay-Z to the Beastie Boys, from Beck to Lil Wayne has densely peppered their rhymes with quotes from

When I was a preteen/pop culture junkie, Björk was very, very perplexing. Way before the Internet and indie worship, people on MTV played guitars in torn jeans, and I wondered what the heck a crazy crooning Icelandic lady was doing roaming through the forest dressed as a bear. (Age reveal!) And

In his long bill snapback and porno moustache, “The Pirate of the Caravan Park” is getting ready for big things. Jack Parow is a Cape Town rapper who, along with frequent collaborators Die Antwoord, is shaking up the South African internet with the music and fashion movement known as Zef. But

Yesterday, the crazy awesome Beijing bands Carsick Cars, P.K. 14, and Xiao He set off on their first-ever tour of the US. I was lucky enough to see these bands live last year in Beijing's teensiest, grittiest clubs. So to be in a museum-like gallery space in Brooklyn, watching them charm a totally

Hanggai’s music is as hard to classify as it is easy to listen to. Pieces of traditional Mongolian music (instruments and throat singing) have some people calling it folk music -- an accusation band leader Ilchi is quick to deny. If you have a look at their audience -- metal heads crowd surfing...

Haitian music crew CaRiMi was in Port-au-Prince when the 7.0 earthquake struck last week. The Kompa band -- whose name is pronounced "Carry Me" -- was preparing for playing the country's annual Carnival festival when the quake struck.

What's really going on in China? Nothing like taking it to the streets to this year's MIDI Music Festival in Beijing to find out. Read about the festival here, and stay with Iggy for 4 days of coverage, slideshows, artist interviews and more! Despite, (or perhaps because of?) all obstacles

Rapper Sbazzo has been spreading a love for hip-hop across China with his smooth, soulful rhymes for ten years now. Beijing born and Toronto raised, Sbazzo has earned himself a reputation as one of China’s best MCs and, after arriving on the scene with the Yin T’sang crew in 2000,...

â Crocs are zef. Flat-tops are zef. Wearing a cowboy hat to the club, thatâ s quite zef,â says Chopper Charlie, a South African blogger and DJ, while munching on a pizza at a seaside Cape Town café. â Ed Hardy prints. Ceramic clowns. Maltese poodles. I once saw a house with a life-size cement

While at first his host family sees him as a sexual zero — not predatory enough to be a threat to the teenage boy whose bunk he shares — that’s undone when Dong ends up at a high school party, making-out with the neighborhood’s tallest, most threatening woman.

Two Congo-inspired short films tackle football and Che Guevara The great thing about film festivals is that they are about the only place where you get to see fiction and documentary shorts, the kind of films that due to their less-than-feature length never make it to the big screen, no matter how

Oregonian troubadour Logan Lynn backs his emotive vocals with glitchy techno, resulting in bare synth pop that’s somewhere between Moby and Pedro the Lion. He’s playing at New York’s CMJ fest on Tuesday October 20th @ midnight at the Bowery Electric.
