Last year California based rap collective OFWGKTA (aka Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All) became the unlikely focal point for a creative renaissance in the music industry. Within months their aimless skateboarding antics and DIY aesthetic had the major music press fixated. It's clear, however, that behind the nihilistic teenage exterior there's raw talent, with standout releases from Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler The Creator, Hody Beats, Mellowhype and Frank Ocean over the past 18 months, ensuring the band shrug off the pessimistic "Internet hype" labeling.

The Odd Future gang will be playing two very wild shows at the Opera House's Studio space as part of Vivid Live 2011. Wild? Yes.

2010's chosen ones, Odd Future, are following up on last year's form with more swag than you can poke a stick at. The video for Tyler The Creator's latest single 'Yonkers' has racked up over 300,000 views in four days and with good reason. We'll let the noose speak for itself.
