PHOTO ESSAY: Kendrick Lamar, Teengirl Fantasy, Dent May and More Share Disposable Camera Shots From South by Southwest

August 3rd, 2012 | File Under: Photo Essay, SXSW 2012 | One comment

Determined to top last year’s candid shots from the Black Lips, Toro Y Moi and the Megaphonic Thrift, we passed out 10 disposable cameras at South by Southwest this year. Some went missing (Dan Deacon, Oneohtrix Point Never, La Sera and Yakuza, we’re looking at you!), but six eventually made their way back to self-titled‘s Brooklyn office, from a chain-polishing Kendrick Lamar to a deep end-diving Youth Lagoon. Check out our photo essay with the shots that survived down below, along with expanded photo albums at our Facebook page…

Now that we’ve had nearly a week to process this year’s South by Southwest festival, self-titled thought we’d take a minute to dish out a lengthy list of completely random awards in such crucial categories as the Dopest Shoes and the Set That Should Have Been Horribly Boring But Wasn’t. Congratulations to all…

Cloud Nothings - Live At SXSW

We’ve already professed our love for Cloud Nothings’ latest album with a tour of Dylan Baldi’s record collection, but the blustery, punk-not-punk spirit of Attack on Memory doesn’t fully hit you unless you see it performed live. That’s why we trekked across town to see the band play a late-night set at South by Southwest on Friday. The video below is taken from the night’s last song, a pit-pleasing version of “No Future, No Past”…

Dan Deacon - Live At SXSW 2012

Photos by Andrew Parks

While we have to be in a certain mood—read: jacked on liters of mainlined Mountain Dew—to appreciate Dan Deacon’s music at home, there’s no denying the way his live sets flood your serotonin levels. Case in point: the pawn shop auteur’s headlining set at the Insound/Oh My Rockness day party on Thursday. Not content with sticking to his usual wall-breaking routine—chopping up samples and hyper-speed hooks right on the ground—Deacon also demanded a dance-off between pogoing fans and asked one of South by Southwest’s longtime booking agents to lead everyone in a synchronized dance routine. Check out a clip of the latter below…
