Major Lazer at Voodoo 10/28/11 (Photos)
Diplo Switch Skerrit Bwoy http://majorlazer.com http://www.twitter.com/majorlazer http://www.youtube.com/MajorLazerVEVO Major Lazer was created out of respect for the Jamaican dancehall reggae music. Their Facebook bio says it best: Fronted by a cartoon zombie-slaying Jamaican soldier the Major Lazer experience is beyond surreal. It’s a freaky sideshow brought to you by two of the scene’s biggest and brightest talents who bend genres onto themselves with seamless ease, swarming pop culture with an outlandish outpouring of mayhem that spans from absurd live shows to chart-smacking bangers with breakthrough performances worldwide.

Odd Future Screws Up at Voodoo Fest 10/30/11 (Commentary, Review and Photos)
I was one of the photographers in the Odd Future press pit at the Voodoo Experience this past weekend. This is my take on the events that happened during their performance, the performance itself, and how the two relate. HERE is a link to what happened in case you haven’t heard. DJ Syd tha Kid started off the performance by entering the stage alone. She had an engaging smile and got the crowd pumped. It didn’t take long for chaos to ensue after the boys of Odd Future strutted onto the stage. Tyler the Creator instigated the chaos by going on a short tirade about how much he hates photographers. In…
