When you think of an artist like Britney Spears, it’s hard to separate her in your mind from the cult-level following she commanded in the late 90s and early 2000s. Sure, Britney had vocals to spare, but her presence, audience, and fans were what determined her individuality. When you think of an artist like Amy Winehouse, you think of her …
Austin really has an incredible music scene, it’s a supportive community but it can be hard to standout from the crowd. Blushing has become one of those standouts, they were one of the Austin Chronicle’s Bands to Watch at SXSW this past year and after the release of their debut album it was easy to see why, their dreamy soundscapes …

They were even using this opportunity in Austin to collect supplies and donate funds to relief efforts. That just goes to show how Sylvan Esso is more than a musical act.
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.
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.
