Make way for the newest member of Speedy Ortiz, Broad City star and comedian Hannibal Buress. Sure, he can’t drum for shit, but he gave it the ol’ college try at the Pitchfork Showcase tent at SXSW yesterday after generously tweeting, “I’m in Austin and i will play drums in your band tomorrow between 12-5pm. I can’t play drums. It’ll be bad.”
If you ever wondered what Speedy Ortiz might sound like if Mike Falcone weren’t such a great drummer, you can thank Hannibal Buress for your answer. Watch him try to keep up with Sadie, Devin, and Darl while profusely apologizing on “MKVI” below, or, if you’re sick of hearing about everything you’re missing at SXSW, listen to their latest track, “The Graduates” (featuring real drums) off their upcoming record, Foil Deer.
