I needed a week to recover from the chaos that was SXSW. I came home only to suffer from a horrid cold this entire week. (A sickness caused by all the sins of Austin I’m sure.) I’m a bit better now and ready to share with you my favorite discovery from this year’s SXSW.
Do you ever feel bad for being from the same place as the guys who gave the world the “skanky leg”? Not to worry. Texas may still find its hip hop salvation in the guys from Damaged Good$. This hip hop duo is made up of two lads from Oak Cliff and Tyler (respectfully), Coool and Theodore. And these guys know how to make the usually armed- crossed hipster crowd dance and everyone else dance too for that matter. Just try to keep still while listening to their funky electronic New wave inspired beats and with lyrics that name check Ronaldinho and Pele, you know I have to be down. I was lucky to catch these guys by chance at Red 7. In a week full of indie artists who seem to cool for school to even show a bit of personality, these two charismatic guys were a breath of fresh air. It was nice to see a band that actually seemed to want to be there and *gasp* one that tried to engage the crowd. Theodore even did some booty bumping with some of the ladies in the crowd.
Damaged Good$ is playing a show on April 10th at Rubber Gloves in Denton so you’ll have a chance to do some booty bumping of your own. Czech them out on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/dmgeez.
