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.

Last week, it was Twin Shadow‘s set during the Tomorrow Never Knows festival; this week, we have photos from The Helio Sequence‘s show at Lincoln Hall. The Portland, Oregon-based guitar-and-drum duo cranked out its trademark psych-pop rock to an eager crowd. Kicking off the show was Chicago-based synth-pop band California Wives, along with sets from Houses and Sun Airway. Check out the photos from contributing photographer Elizabeth Gilmore.

Twin Shadow

As part of the recent Tomorrow Never Knows festival, new-wave pop band Twin Shadow recently played at Schubas in Chicago, along with Fol Chen and Brahms. Adapting the “twin shadow” idea for coverage, ALARM had two photographers on the scene, capturing the show in two different styles. Photo duo Sanchez+Kitahara took the black-and-white route, while Elizabeth Gilmore opted for vibrant color. Check out both sets below.
