Camp Flog Gnaw 2019

2019 marked the 8th annual Camp Flog Gnaw, hosted and created by Tyler, The Creator. Camp Flog Gnaw is a festival in Los Angeles held over the course of a weekend; with a myriad of artists ranging from up-and-coming to highly notable. One of the earlier sets was put on by Slowthai, a rapper from the UK, whose music draws from the grime scene as well as traditional rap. His energetic stage presence and strong, rough sound resonated with me and the crowd, creating by far one of the most interesting mosh-pits I’ve seen. 

Willow Smith, an artist that has evolved in both style and music throughout her young career as an artist, performed songs from her new project Willow that released this summer. Putting on a great performance and dazzling the crowd with with her ability, her backup singers harmonized effortlessly with her and Willow’s constant interaction with the crowd made it a fun experience. The crowd went into a frenzy as she brought out her brother Jaden Smith to perform “U Know,” a fan favorite, and “Summertime in Paris” off his new album ERYS.

By far one of my favorite performances was Thundercat, who played groovy songs as he infused funk, rock, jazz and R&B within his music. Thundercat sang and played his bass incredibly fast, showing the crowd his skill as he navigated through catchy riffs and seemed to be jamming out on stage. He brought out Michael McDonald to help him on the piano, who played well but demonstrated even more of his vocal prowess when he was given the mic. Michael McDonald performed “I Keep Forgettin’,” a huge song even today still played on radio stations and sampled many times by other artists. His voice hasn’t aged a day; he sounded even better in person, igniting the crowd to chant along. 

Just as the set was about to commence on its last song, one last guest was brought out, Kamasi Washington, a master saxophonist who played at an impressively rapid pace. Later in the evening as the sun set on the Los Angeles skyline,Tyler, The Creator himself came to the stage. Coming off the huge success of IGOR, his new album, his last stop on tour was here at Camp Flog Gnaw. Coming out to thousands of fans as he stood before everyone, the intro track “IGOR’S THEME” boomed throughout the venue, causing everyone to chant his name or yell in excitement. With a slight shift in his body to the crowd, Tyler screamed out “IGOR!” and the crowd jumped and smiled in return. He went onto perform the majority of “IGOR,” several highlights from his previous album “Flower Boy,” as well as a variety of songs from “Goblin,” an album released before his newfound acclaim. The crowd was screaming in joy for the entirety of the performance, affirming that Tyler had one of the best stage presences of the entire weekend. There were many more artists that I was able to see and enjoy as well as other performances I sadly missed out on. However, the experience was wonderful and will have memories of my time there forever!

Porter Robinson Delivers a Joyous and Emancipating Performance to Los Angeles Audience

- Marcus Carrillo

Porter Robinson fans have been anxiously awaiting the release of his sophomore album since he took a 7-year hiatus from releasing music. With the release of Nurture, fans were given an insightful and vulnerable look into the world and life of Robinson. Fans were given a glimpse into his struggles with artistry and purpose as a musician, his relationship with his parents, his love for his girlfriend, and his appreciation for life.

When it came time to tour and deliver a show, there was no hesitation on Porter’s end to create a life-changing and liberating experience for his fans through music.

On a warm October evening, Porter Robinson and guests gathered at the Historic Los Angeles State Park to enjoy two memorable nights of dance and celebration. Droves of friends descended onto the landmark, gliding over the grass, laughing and taking pictures as the Los Angeles skyline stood tall and brilliant in the distance. As the sun began to set, a buzz entered the air as concertgoers anxiously awaited the man they came to see. Robinson wasn’t the only person in a room to have taken a hiatus from music, for this could very likely be the first concert many audience members have attended since the start of the pandemic in 2020. As the lights dimmed, all eyes turned towards the stage as it illuminated the faces of hundreds of Los Angeles residents.

(above photo provided by Carlo Cavaluzzi)

Porter starts the concert with one of his first hits, Sad Machine. From the first notes, we are instantly brought into his world, bright, energetic, and hopeful; whatever dread had surrounded Porter has been released in the music. With each bouncing note, the energy of the audience builds until the beat drops and the crowd seems to float in the air as strobe lights illuminated their waving hands. Porter has done what he does best: create an environment where his audience feels free of judgement and enveloped in celebration.

Some notable mentions and songs of the night included Blossom, which was an earnest and honest composition dedicated to his girlfriend (who he says he “would not have Nurture without”). The way Porter played each note with such tenderness and softness was a public demonstration of the adoration he has for such a profound love in his life.

Another tear-jerkingly emotional moment was his song Mother, which as Robinson explained, is dedicated to his parents, who he has come to realize through the process of growing up that they are human too and are capable of mistakes.

In Nurture, we find Porter's sound grounded and free, his onstage presence light, commanding, youthful, and pensive. With each glance into the crowd, we see disbelief that this is his life, and the crowd returns that same look with smiles as they experience a grateful appreciation for life and music.

(above photo provided by Andrew Gomez)

The Nurture tour is an experience that teaches us to appreciate life. To appreciate community, how unpredictably beautiful life can be, and how strong we are as people. Porter has taken something so meaningful and honest and delivered it in a way that not only creates memories but changes the perspective of those who enter the world he so carefully nurtured himself.

If you have the opportunity to experience a Porter Robinson show, please do, and bring some friends with you!
