When LIV booked former 2 Live Crew member Luther Campbell for this past Wednesday’s Dirty Hairy party, they should have known it was going to turn into King of Diamonds meets Miami Beach luxury. Campbell had backup dancers that we’re pretty sure aren’t classically trained unless you consider the stripper…
Keeping this short: Everyone’s favorite South Florida band, Surfer Blood, premiered its first-ever music via Pitchfork today. The video has the same surreal feeling as the track itself.
