Fenech-Soler was performing on the same night as “the xx” at ACL Live, so you can imagine this was a tough show, but 3TEN is one of my favorite venues in Austin right now. After a killer start with Knox Hamilton, we were ready. I’ve been listening to Zilla almost on loop all day to prep and couldn’t get enough of the synth pop jams that show promise of fun. and Phoenix.
A complete silence came over Mohawk when Mitski took this stage. The darling of the indie music scene’s show was completely sold out. After putting out her critically acclaimed ‘Puberty 2’, Mitski has become the voice of every anxious girl transitioning into true adulthood, trying to find happiness and figure out her place in the world. Her emotionally honest lyrics and sweeping dramatic songs brought half of Austin out on a humid Wednesday night.
If I’m being honest, Nightly’s show was all that and more. While the group only has an EP of four songs out, they did not disappoint.
I’ve been Instagram-stalking Katrina Barber for a long time now. Seriously, these are some of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen. She just knows how to capture a moment, whether it’s a portrait of an artist, the crowds at a festival, or the show itself.
Jess Kent is one of the bravest and boldest girls we know. Her music is instantly catchy, quirky and cool.
Every once in a while I get to interview a band like Jericho Woods. I get it, we mostly pay attention to boy bands and pop stars, but it was just honestly refreshing to talk to these cousins from Kentucky about their genuine songs and how they speak to the heart of America.
We’ve talked about our obsession with morgxn before. His songs “home” and “hard pill to swallow” are so dynamic and catchy. I caught up with him at Empire Control Room. It was the last day of SXSW and it was hot as hell outside, but that didn’t stop the crowd from turning up to watch morgxn. In addition to his single he previewed the new tracks off his soon-to-be released EP ‘Vital’.
I you’ve seen BØRNS live, you’re very familiar with Kristen Gleeson-Prata. The sweet, smiley but hard-hitting drummer decked out in the coolest outfits you’ve seen. “Being in BØRNS has completely changed my fashion sense,” she laughs, “I’m so grateful.”
If you haven’t gotten a chance to see Brooklyn-based band, The Skins, live you’re truly missing out. The group is made up of siblings Bayli (singer), Kaya (bassist) and Reef (drummer) McKeithan, along with guitarist friends Daisy Spencer and Russell Chell. All are graduates of the School of Rock and have been together since 2011.
I remember leaving 5 Seconds of Summer’s Sounds Live Feels Live tour last summer and telling my friends Hey Violet was on the brink of success. So would you believe that just eight months later I was hearing them perform sold-out show? When I saw the group, they were a four piece but now with newest bandmate, Ian Shipp, they’re on their first U.S. headlining tour and made a little stop in Dallas, Texas where they performed at the Cambridge Room in the House of Blues.
