We randomly met Mo Laudi this weekend at our issue release party (starring his friend Spoek Mathambo), but he apparently forgot to tell us that he's the new MC in The Very Best. Then he sent us an email and was like "Also, I'm going on tour with Vampire Weekend pretty soon." Oh yeah no big deal! Despite the humility, this dude is crowd riler numero uno, as is evidenced in this live clip for "Angonde." He is also a good dancer with great style, as evidenced by his presence at our party. Go see for yourself: tour dates after the jump. (via Discobelle)
