I’ve been weirdly obsessed with Merci Raines, after listening to her debut track “Moon City’ I was hooked on her witch-pop vibes and sultry sounds.
Nightly Knows How To Put On A Show
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.
Quiet Company Talks Streaming Culture And SXSW
Last year I saw Quiet Company for the first time at SXSW and I was so mesmerized by their powerful performance and perfect alchemy of melancholy and anger. I thought it only best to catch up with them again this year. I sat down at Shady Grove with Taylor Muse and Bill Gryta after their third show at SXSW to talk about the direction of the Austin live music scene and their new songs.
Luke Wade Is Still A Small Town Texas Guy
Luke Wade hails from the treasured small town of Dublin, Texas. Which we all know fondly as the birthplace of the cult-classic Dublin Dr. Pepper (R.I.P.), don’t worry he assures me he loves Dr. Pepper.
morgxn’s ‘vital’ Is A Snapshot Of A Moment
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’.
Michael Blume Wants A Radical Response
I’ve never met an artist like Michael Blume. The way he talks you can just tell there’s so much passion behind every word he says. We sat down in the back of Stubbs in Austin during SXSW before he went on stage to talk about the powerful messages behind his music and his unique path to where he is now.
Our Entire SXSW Recap
I was so equally excited and nervous for SXSW this year. I think it is hands-down the most important music event of the year. The bands that are performing aren’t your usual festival round-makers, they’re up-and-comers, and there’s just endless possibilities to meet new people in the industry. All opportunities await!
How I Prep For SXSW
Oh god, south by southwest is next week. As a SXSW Veteran I meet this season with equal parts excitement and dread. There is so much going on and so many parties and it’s just madness.
Bridgit Mendler’s Departure From Pop
I remember watching each episode of Good Luck Charlie and freaking out when the star, Bridgit Mendler, came out with her first single, “Ready or Not.” This was a bop from the start and if you’re also a 20-something who grew up watching Disney Channel, chances are you’ve seen and heard Mendler’s talent firsthand. However, the indie pop singer has made quite a departure from her Disney days. Recently, I got to catch up with her and discuss the new sound and upcoming tour.
Noga Erez Is Hard To Pin Down
Noga Erez is hard to explain. Take one look at her ‘Dance While You Shoot’ video and you can see why. She’s not for everyone but I don’t think she wants to be. It’s an acquired taste but one that would follow in the paths of M.I.A. and Bjork. She makes a statement and her music stays with you. It’s entrancing and dangerous.
