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. From festivals to clubs to legendary Carnival parties, Major Lazer is making it’s mark like a red-hot branding on the face of modern music.…

My Chemical Romance at Voodoo Fest 10/28/11 (Photos & Review)
Gerard Way Mikey Way Ray Toro Frank Iero http://www.mychemicalromance.com http://www.myspace.com/mychemicalromance http://youtube.com/mychemicalromance http://www.mychemicalromance.com/store http://twitter.com/MCRofficial The Voodoo Experience was the last stop on My Chemical Romance’s 2011 US tour. Their hour long set was a dazzling array of their greatest hits. MCR are experts at being able to command a large stage. In fact, the bigger the stage, the harder they rock.

Gerard rightfully fished for positive feedback from the crowd by asking, “Did any other band dress up for you other than the same ‘ol rock ‘n roll shit?” Die-hard MCR…

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…

Civil Twilight at Voodoo Experience in New Orleans 10/28/11(Photos & Review)
Andrew McKellar Steven McKellar Richard Wouters http://www.civiltwilightband.com http://civiltwilightband.tumblr.com http://twitter.com/civiltwilight Civil Twilight is a rock band out of Cape Town, South Africa that should be on your list of bands to take notice of. They cite Oasis, U2 and Nirvana,The Verve, The Police, Muse and Radiohead as their main inspirations. We had heard great things about Civil Twilight and knew their performance was a MUST SEE at Voodoo. Live Civil Twilight sounded wonderfully robust and had a sophisticated smooth style. Their blended melodies are admirable and singer Steven has a captivating voice. Check out photos from their set!
