Watch Run The Jewels Lead A “Suck My Dick, Sun Kil Moon!” Chant At Fun Fun Fun Fest
Run The Jewels and Sun Kil Moon played opposite each other at this weekend’s Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, which ended up being the perfect situation to play off of the incident that kicked off Mark Kozelek’s infamous beef with the War On Drugs. During Run The Jewels’ set, El-P recounted a run-in he had with Kozelek backstage: “So I introduced myself and said, ‘Hey, I’m a fan. We’re the guys that are going to be interrupting your set today with how fucking loud our crowd is.’ […] And he said, ‘What’s your name?’ And I said, ‘Run The Jewels,’ and — I swear to God — he said, ‘Suck my dick, Run The Jewels.’ And I said, ‘Suck my dick, Sun Kil Moon.’ And I’m actually a fan of this dude’s record.” El-P then asked the crowd to chant, “Suck my dick, Sun Kil Moon.” Before moving onto the next song, El-P reiterated, “We mean that with all due respect. I’m actually a fan of your music.” Watch video from the show below.

Meanwhile on the Sun Kil Moon stage: according to The Austin Chronicle, Kozelek asked, “What’s the name of that fucking band playing? Just kidding, whatever you’re called. I love you guys.” Later on in the set, when someone in the crowd asked him to play the War On Drugs diss track he wrote, Kozelek promised, “We’ll play some beer commercial lead guitar.”
UPDATE:
