Hitting the stage at Austin City Limits for a late-afternoon Friday performance, Childish Gambino was clearly in high gear for his first live appearance since the arrival of last week’s STN MTN mixtape and Kauai EP. Bounding across the stage in shorts and – for a short time – a Hawaiian shirt, the former Troy pulled the biggest bouncers from both his albums, and dabbled in the new as he gestured wildly and threw maniac faces.
He may have acted a bit like a goofball on ecstasy, but his rhyme game was razor-sharp, edging him closer to headliner contender status.
Check out a Crave-exclusive gallery of pics from the performance below.
