Gary, Indiana’s gangster-rap phenom Freddie Gibbs, Canadian indie rapper Shad, and Chicago-based ALARM favorite Rita J joined forces for a recent show at Metro in Chicago. The trio of hip-hop performances was part of the annual Tomorrow Never Knows festival hosted by Schubas, Lincoln Hall, and, as of this year, Metro. (See ALARM’s TNK coverage of Twin Shadow and The Helio Sequence.) And below, take a gander at the lovely shots that photographer Logan M. Futej captured images of all three lyrical luminaries.

Concert Photos: So Percussion & Dan Deacon @ Ecstatic Music Festival (NYC)
Electro solo act Dan Deacon recently reunited with his former Bromst tour-mate, experimental chamber quartet So Percussion, for a performance during the Ecstatic Music Festival at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City. Presented in association with New Amsterdam Records, the 15-concert, 150-band festival gathers performers, composers, and songwriters like Nico Muhly, Owen Pallett, and William Brittelle for two months of music and discussion.
Brooklyn-based photographer Eric Ryan Anderson attended the show and captured images of all of the bottle banging and knob twiddling that goes into some of the most progressive sounds around.
