The 10 Best Moments of SXSW: Day 4
I saw a lot during Day 4 of South by Southwest, but here are the 10 moments that stuck out, from Norwegian girl group Razika to dudes in pink bodysuits.
1. Blood Orange's Guitar Solos: AKA Lightspeed Champion, Dev Hynes' project as Blood Orange blends laptop soul with punishing guitar shredding. Hynes played to every side of the crowd and earned huge ovations with his lengthy guitar solos.
2. The-Dream's Fader Fort Set: Rocking an Oakland Raiders hat, black leather jacket and multiple gold chains, The-Dream's set at Fader Fort presented by Converse balanced baby-making jams with uptempo tracks like "Fast Car." Yet it was his boasting about metaphorically "beating up" certain parts of the female anatomy that made us nod and squirm at the same time.
3. Pink Bodysuit Guy: At the Spin @ Stubb's party, we spotted this guy walking around and had to know more. Turns out he's in a band called Conquistador and, once we saw him, we would end up bumping into him 30 more times.
