Pitchfork Music Festival Recap 2013
As hot as it was this weekend, (thank the sweet lord for the breeze), the heat didn't stop all the cool kids from coming out to see their favorites at this year's Pitchfork music festival. Union Park was crowded with fans, as it was with tons of local food and art vendors. The full photo set from Pitchfork Music Festival 2013 will be coming up soon, as well as a special R. Kelly-exclusive post where we share our thoughts on his performance.
[RH Photos] The Space Migration Tour in Austin
Photos by: Virgil Solis
After dropping his second full length album Watching TV with the Sound Off, Mac Miller hit the road with Chicago's Chance the Rapper and kicking off his Space Migration Tour at a sold out show at Emo's in Austin, TX. Having just missed Chance's come up in Chicago, I was really looking forward to seeing his live show for the first time. Acid Rap by far is one of this year's best projects put out and a mixtape I've listened to non-stop since it dropped. Chance came out with a fury, and the audience sang along and cheered for him, returning the same energy back in the process. He performed some crowd favorites like "Pusha Man," "Juice," and some classics from his first mixtape, #10Day.
After a quick set change, Mac was ready to hit the stage. The all ages crowd was so hyped from Chance's set that they were hungry for Mac. Miller came out in a floral print fit and rocked the crowd from the get-go. You can see why both of these acts are on the road together as they have loyal fan bases that know the words to all of their music. After an hour or so, Mac was still going strong with no signs of letting up. I was at hand with Bobby Reys and shot some photos of the two which you can see below.
[RH Photos] The Lens and The Life: Jokes, Food & Music
Those who've been fans of Ruby Hornet might remember a photos series called The Lens and The Life. Its was a bi-weekly photo blog of photos I shot during the previous weeks. A lot has changed since the last TL&TL post - I live in a new city (Austin,TX), have a new job, and love to cook. This is the return of The Lens and The Life, and I hope you guys enjoy it.
There was a lot going on in Austin last week: The Moontower Comedy and Oddity Festival, The Austin Food and Wine Festival, a performance by Band of Horses at Stubb's BBQ, and a sold-out Lumineers show at the 360Amphitheater. Hit the jump to check out the photos.
