Butterthief

Avaaz last night in Williamsburg was the first zombie hipster bhangra party I’ve been to. It’s like Sank liveblogging desi bands, and it’s never less than interesting. At one point a Kurt Russell impersonator rapped over AC/DC with ‘Addicted to Love‘ backup dancers in ashes and latex.

Here’s Manish Tandon of the Krishna-referencing Butterthief. They sounded mushy and indistinct live, but their studio stuff is intriguing (listen here):

And the wonderful and half-desi Deadbeat Darling (listen here):

    They are great, and I’m not ashamed to say it: his lens is bigger than mine.

    sank, for the long shots, I was standing outside on the edge of the sidewalk, shooting through the window with a lens way bigger than manish’s. ;>)
