If you haven't heard of OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All) you must surely have been living under a rock. This musical conglomerate performed their brand of shock-rap and terrorised the South by Southwest (SXSW) film, interactive and music conference during this past month. Photographer Brook Bobbins was there to follow the group and chronicle their time at the festival on film. Some really dope pictures of the group here, this spread even makes them seem like regular guys, but be serious this is Odd Future we're talking about. More information and check out the pictures after the jump.
From all reports out of SXSW the group certainly lived up to their reputation with Tyler, the Creator breaking the nose of a fan by jumping off a speaker stack into the crowd at their first performance. However according to Tyler the fan wasn't angry he "took it like a fucking g", so all's well that ends well even with broken noses. Amongst this madness Brook was able to capture the full spectrum of OFWGKTA, from their most hyped stage moments right down to the quiet moments fooling around backstage and on the streets of Austin between shows.
Check out more of Brook's work over at his website whoshotya.
