I shot all of SXSW for the Mog.com blog last year.  This year Mog has cut back on their blog, mostly using it as an aggrigator of content and not providing as much original stuff as they had in the past.  So I didn’t think they would have any work for me this year.  Luckily, I was wrong.  Mog threw a crazy party last year and this year they might have topped it.  They had a ton of amazing bands and lines around the block.  They had both TV On The Radio AND Big Boi headlining. It was pretty impressive.  I was really lucky this year to get asked to shoot so many amazing events. I always hate having to work a specific event at SXSW because that means I might be missing 10 other things I want to see, but this year most of the parties I shot were my first choices and the Mog party on Saturday was obviously no exception.

Along with TVOTR and Big Boi the show featured Okkervil River, Smith  Westerns, Yuck, Tune-Yards, the super buzzy Twin Shadow, DBB regular Theophilus London and Carrie Brownstein’s new band Wild Flag.  Everyone was great but I don’t want to spend too long on this update because I am sure everyone is sick of my SXSW stuff by now and I have another update from this same show. I took so many photos that I had to break it down into three galleries. One of which is a gallery just of Big Boi’s set because I took an unreasonable amount pictures of him for some reason.

So this update has two galleries attached to it. One of just Big Boi and one of all the other bands.  Unfortunately I somehow missed the Smith Westerns so you won’t find them in here. I have no idea how I missed them since they were the opening act and I was there an hour before the show started but I was really really tired.  So yeah, let’s get on with it.
