The night that I shot Vega was sort of a crazy one.  I ended up walking all over Austin and watched a bunch of famous rock musicians cover L.L. Cool J. but more on that later…

I ended up getting to the Fools Gold SXSW showcase later than I wanted to and when I got to Malverde I couldn’t get anywhere near the stage because it was completely packed.  I was actually going to leave but I decided to at least try to get a few shots of Vega playing.  I sort of got near enough to get off a few shots at an odd angle while being shoved from behind and shooting above another photographer.  I was too tired after days of not sleeping on couches to deal with it so I soon left.  I got a few okay shots and a few bad ones, but I figured I should put them up since we love the Fool’s Gold family, I just met the Vega guys at the IFC Food Party/ Dinner With The Band Party and they seem like good guys, plus they are also somehow Neon Indian  or something and people seem to care about that. I don’t know how all that works but I did google it and I found this Flavorwire explaining the whole thing so read that…

…and then click here to see the Vega photos at the Fools Gold SXSW Showcase at Malverde.

Also, good look with the Mishka sweater.
