So after Major Lazer’s show at Voodoo Fest and the tattooing that followed I made a new friend out of their insane hype man Skerrit Bwoy. He is one of the best live performers I have ever seen and a hell of a nice guy. He also really likes it when we give him bottles of Sailor Jerry rum. During the first song of Major Lazer’s Fun Fun Fun Fest set Skerrit Bwoy saw me in the photo pit and pulled me up onto stage with him and gave me a shout out to the crowd. I wasn’t planning on shooting their whole set but once I was on stage I clearly couldn’t leave and boy am I glad I stayed.

Major Lazer’s set ended with a crazy dance party and Skerrit Bwoy was posing for photos with girls on stage while he was still performing. Diplo had only one CD turntable but still managed to keep the party going. Ryan Gosling was on stage holding a inflatable bunny and I somehow convinced Skerrit Bwoy to do an a cappella stage dive after the show was already over just so I could take a picture of it. It is one of my favorite shots ever and ended up running on the Huffington Post and in the Village Voice in print.

That night I rolled with Skerrit Bwoy, my Sailor Jerry mother Dana Dynamite, half the Black Lips and some more of the Mad Decent crowd over to the greatest restaurant I have ever been to in my life, Lambert’s in Austin. If you are ever in Austin, you need to fucking eat there. It was a Hell of a Saturday night and it wasn’t even midnight yet. The next night Skerrit had gone home but I got into some really weird shit with Diplo that I can’t even talk about… but I can at least link this video…

Now just click fucking here and see the pictures of Major Lazer at Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, TX.
