Best of 2011: Odd Future

Odd Future at U St Music Hall. These guys. Wow, this was a crazy shoot. This was the first or second night of their first major tour; they had no idea what to expect. Tyler exclaimed loudly “man, I fucking LOVE playing shows!,” and their exuberance and excitement were palpable. They also hazed me pretty hard when I got to the shoot, which was during their sound check, making fun of me, calling me names, etc. After awhile though, they settled down and realized I was just doing my job, which was nice. Cool to see young stars on the cusp, still visibly excited by playing music. Click for more Best of 2011.
