to round out about a week of music, walking and constant people-watching, Zoneil and myself dove head-first into one last day of action-packed SXSWing. after meeting up with some kids we knew, we followed them to catch a set by Ebony Bones, a British actress-turned-musician. the music was dance-y, and the outfits on her and her band were epic. this was definitely on my top 5 SXSW performances, both to watch and photograph.
this was drawn on the guitarist's hand:
eventually worked our way over to the South by Seattle showcase to catch some Northwest hip-hop care of Common Market and Blue Scholars:
closed out the evening with the lovely Erykah Badu way out on the outskirts of downtown. on the plus-side, the show was on an outdoor stage in the park and it was nice to get the fresh air. on the down-side, Badu was running late and only had time to perform two songs before rushing out to a performance at the Fader Fort on the other side of downtown. even so, those two songs were worth it. plus, it was fun to shoot with some real stage lights again.
following ms. Badu was a band i'd only barely heard of by name. Austin-based instrumental post-rock band Explosions in the Sky proved to be an incredible show. if you haven't heard of them, i would definitely check them out.
SXSW was a whirlwind experience. as much as i thought i knew what to expect, i realized very quickly that it was more overwhelming than i could have known. it was amazing to see so much music and to roam the streets with thousands of music fanatics. i'm looking forward to trying it all again next year. we'll see if this couple makes it back next year too:
