TV on the Radio played the penultimate set of this year's Roots Family Picnic. The New Yorkers got an assist from the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, who easily win this year's picnic's "Most Stage Time" award. Hyperkinetic frontman Tunde Adebimpe pinballed around the stage as stoic, hirsute bassist Kyp Malone held down stage right and guitarist David Andrew Sitek bunkered down behind the horn section. (Check out the pants on Antibalas' trumpeter Jordan McLean.)
