If you managed to stay on your feet through the entirety of South By Southwest, the intersection of 4th and Colorado is where you wanted to be on Saturday night. Though the gates didn’t officially open until 8pm, the line for the Red Bull Thre3Style had already stretched around two corners by 6pm. Weary ears desperate for a break from all the week’s rock ‘n’ roll madness were in for a serious treat as DJ-R, DJ M-Squared, Mick Boogie, DJ Qbert, DJ Jazzy Jeff, De La Soul and Z-Trip—with the help of a “supermoon” in the sky and a secret special guest in the wings—were set to move the crowd.
This week sees new releases from Rooney, Iggy Pop, Hot Hot Heat, Teenage Fanclub, and the long-awaited new album from Ratatat, amongst others. Speaking of which, if you haven’t seen what is being called ‘the most unintentionally hilarious video of 2010 so far”, you can see their latest below.
