One of the only bad things about shooting Voodoo fest a few weekends ago was that I had to miss the “Check Yo Ponytail” tour when it came to NYC on the 29th of October. The tour featured a bunch of friends of mine, The Death Set, Spank Rock, Johnny Nelson and Franki Chan, plus it featured Big Freedia who I had not seen but was properly excited about doing so. Unfortunately work called and I had to be out of town for it. Luckily for me part most of the tour came to Austin for Fun Fun Fun Fest and I got to see Franki, Spank Rock, Johnny and Big Freedia do what they do.

Big Freedia killed it and put on a hell of a show but the light was unforgiving and I only got to shoot her first three songs. By the middle of the set she had half the crowd on stage and it was a crazy party but I had to be working somewhere else by the time things really got going and I only saw the madness from a distance. Big Freedia did make my day when she showed Ryan Gosling her new Sailor Jerry tattoo and my photos showed up all over the internet.

Spank Rock and Johnny Nelson also got Sailor Jerry tattoos and put on a hell of a show as well but I expected that since I have seen Spank Rock more than a half dozen times. He always kills it and with my homie Johnny Nelson backing him up, he cannot be fucked with. Those guys killed it and even though they kicked photographers out after three songs when they performed Johnny’s track “Body Bag” I came running back into the crowd to sing along. Of course I gotta hold it down for anyone with my logo tattooed to them…

Anyway, you need to check out these shots, I really dig the Spank Rock photos particularly. I split these into to galleries so click on those motherfuckers below.
