SXSW Shots By The Black Lips, Toro Y Moi & the Megaphonic Thrift

The Black Lips & Gwar

Since most SXSW packages—ours included—rely on a similar realm of live photos and party previews, self-titled thought we’d do something a little different this year: drop disposable cameras in the hands of our favorite bands, along with a few simple instructions:

1. Don’t worry about capturing shows. ‘Professional photographers’ already have them covered.
2. The more candid and random the roll, the better.
3. Don’t forget a dick shot, okay?

While a few cameras went missing, just about everyone delivered the goods, including one artist who took No. 3 literally and shall remain nameless…

PHOTO ESSAY: 20 SXSW Shots Worth Sharing Two Weeks Later

Photos by Emir Eralp

Words and Photos by Aaron Richter

I’d like to preface self-titled‘s South By Southwest wrap-up with a disclaimer. I made a simple rule this year: to follow my own tastes—strictly want-to-sees, no supposed-to-sees. Some of these happened to coincide with mass quantities of beer, but that’s besides the point. Here are 10 artists I’m actually looking forward to hearing more from this year…
