SLIDESHOW: Yelawolf, Wu Tang, Erykah Badu play VVM SXSW Party
Next up was Trouble Andrew, a slick new wavy post-punk band with a charismatic lead singer, and Rocky Business, a cross-pollinated hip hop/dance/groove band whose high-octane bandleader showed off some killer dance moves. But the first real crowd-pleaser of the night was Houston rapper Trae the Truth, who brought out a full crew of hype men to help work up the crowd.
The evening was closed out by a trio of the biggest names on the bill, with a raucous set by Fishbone sandwiched between up-and-coming rapper Yelawolf and headliners Wu-Tang Clan, who invited guest DJ Erykah Badu out on stage to help them close out the night. Judging from the tweets our photographer, Erik Hess, sent out during Fishbone's set, the crowd was lucky that Wu-Tang was only a little over an hour past their set time by the time they took the stage.

But don't worry, it all turned out all right in the end.
