Every year, thousands of PR people, musicians, and journalists flock for South by Southwest, the Austin festival that is essentially a high school coffee house 15 years later. But when you get that many Professional Creatives into one place and give them enough drugs, something good is bound to happen— Like comedian and Broad City star Hannibal Buress showing up at 90's-throwback indie band Speedy Ortiz's set and playing drums for a song. The track he played for was "MKVI," off their highly-anticipated upcoming record Foil Deer, the follow-up to 2013's major success Major Arcana. Watch the video via Pitchfork.
