EARLWOLF 2013.

When I heard that both Earl and Tyler were coming to Australia with fellow members, Jasper Dolphin and Taco, I knew it would be a show I wouldn't want to miss out on. Earlwolf 2013 was the most exhilarating concert I have ever attended, and boy have I been to a few. Being held at the Enmore Theather in Newtown, Sydney, with a sold out crowd and passionate fans who know the words to every song thrown at them, what is a better concert experience?

The night started out with a crazy battle through the mosh pit for that front row position that everyone desires at concerts. With quick small talk with few people in the crowd, the lights dimmed and after being half an hour late to his dj set, Taco finally appeared. Playing paper planes by M.I.A. and a remix of Pursuit of Happiness by Kid Cudi, the intro song WOLF, from Tyler's third solo album, played. The beat then suddenly changed to the start of French! by Tyler and then it happened. Everything in the room stood still and there they were, Tyler, The Creator and Earl Sweatshirt infront of me, performing, with Taco behind the dj stand and Jasper being the greatest hype man to date. The crowd went crazy screaming along with every word that came from Tyler's mouth.

 The energy from everyone in that room was absolutely crazy. With the combination of Tyler's majestic performing and communication with the crowd, Earl being the better rapper of the two who never missed a beat and not to mention Jasper Dolphin putting light to a blunt on stage at which everyone seemed to enjoy with chants of laughter. In between the words 'fuck' 'shit' and 'hell yeah', there was a real intimate moment when Tyler performed IFHY, which to me, is something so beautiful that I couldn't begin to describe even if I tried too. That song can relate to so many people, on so many different levels and to just see Tyler's emotions whilst performing it, was incredible.

The night carried on with songs like Jamba, 48, Answer, Sam is Dead from Tyler's side and Whoa, Hive and Blade from Earls side to which everyone knew every single world like their life depended on it. The crowd got a special suprise when Earl played new songs Burgundy and Molasses which are now on his first solo album, Doris. With the two pairing together to play classic Earlwolf songs such as AssMilk and Orange Juice. 

The night ended in an encore performance of Tamale to which the crowd went full on crazy. I have never seen so many people in one veracity of space so engaged and hyped up about something. The night ended in Tyler screaming out 'I FUCKING LOVE YOU SYDNEY, GOOD NIGHT.' Oh, and he did also take his shirt off. All in all, Earlwolf was a standout time of 2013 for me and the best concert I have experience.

 The Enmore provided an amazing venue and being in that crowd was amazing. To think that everyone in that room shared one common interest of people on stage doing their job, its amazing. I hope you all one day have the chance to experience your favourite musician in concert because it is a truly breathtaking adventure.
