WE SAY

Our Dutch week continues with a six piece hip hop act from Amsterdam who count Big Star, Dave Clark Five, Elvis Costello, The Residents, Jimmy Castor Bunch, Hank Williams and Company Flow amongst their influences. They're as original and creative as that list would suggest. And they're playing at SXSW - Friday, March 19, 1am. at Friends. Website
