PHOTOS: SXSW Day 3: Fucked Up @ Lamar Street Bridge

Photos and Text: Mehan Jayasuriya

At 2am on Friday night, Fucked Up and No Age played an impromptu set on the top of the Lamar Street pedestrian bridge. Word travels fast during South by Southwest, however and more kids showed up for the show than the bridge was likely designed to support (some even claimed that the bridge could be seen swaying under the strain). Regardless, police at the end of the bridge stood idly by and let Toronto hardcore act Fucked Up rile up the crowd with a blistering set of truncated jams.

The best thing about this album is its inertia. It builds sounds and energy and takes on players as it goes, like they got caught up in the band's galvanizing zeal and had to join in.
