Chaka Mpeanaji and Qi Dada are so much more than a local hip hop group. The husband-and-wife team behind Riders Against the Storm come in to discuss RAS Day, the annual family friendly music festival happening Saturday at Kenny Dorham’s Backyard. With new music coming out this fall, the couple behind the monthly Body Rock dance party talked about their passion for bringing audiences and communities together through movement and music. ALSO: Since 2011, the Quesoff has drawn Austin’s best queso-makers to the Mohawk for the cheesiest party around. Ahead of this year’s contest, co-founder Adi Anand talked to us about why the event remains so popular. AND: in this week’s Webb Report, Eric Webb talks to us about a little-known government plot involving our very own Mexican freetail bats. In "A Toast," we recommend “The Good Wife,” Raul Garza’s new play, “There and Back" and the next ATX Flowdown, a jazz-and-freestyle spoken word show. More info: austin360.com/loveaustin360
