Last Night: Odd Future at House of Blues
 |
After touring the country for the past two years, it's clearly evident that nothing really fazes OF onstage anymore. They're one with their cult fanbase, ripping off high-school-like snaps when kids decide to wear fake Supreme gear (that happened) or give Jasper bus fare by tossing $20 onstage. This was then followed by somebody tossing a credit card onstage as well, thus making this writer wonder where exactly did his life choices go when kids were basically throwing money on stage AFTER already paying for a concert.
Then coins got tossed and everything tiptoed back into its surreal realm. Kids lose their shoes, but when you're in the midst of your heroes, you could lose a hell of a lot and still wind up smiling at the end.
Personal Bias: SXSW 2011 was my first Odd Future experience. Let's just say you won't ever enjoy "Yonkers" the same while asleep in your ex's bed.
The Crowd: Smelled so much like teen spirit.
Overheard In the Crowd: "Holy shit, Finn just showed up. But he didn't bring Jake, he sucks."
Random Notebook Dump: Of all the random things that got tossed onstage (coins, lighters, fake streetwear), nothing could quite beat seeing a chick tossing her weave to Tyler and company after hearing "Go Mike G." Yup, that takes the cake.
Random Notebook Dump II: The night also served as the five-year anniversary of Pimp C's tragic passing. He, DJ Screw and other Texas luminaries got shoutouts throughout from OFWGKTA and their damn near cultish fan base. I now wonder what a conversation between Pimp and Earl would have gone like.
