Anyone who makes songs about politicians eating all the money–what else do they do?–gets our vote. South African rock-reggae band, Tidal Waves (see also our earlier post) will be touring in the U.S. the next two weeks. Only in the American South, apparently, but don’t miss them if you’re around and you’re in for some rock-n-reggae.

Thanks, João! That’s a great song, band, and video. Is that Lisbon?
