By Hannah Walls Web Content Assistant Despite the chilly weather, I was met with a decently-sized crowd when I stepped into The Porch Thursday night. The dim lighting and gentle hum of scattered conversations as we eagerly waited for the first band to start made it quite cozy, and I took some time to chat with some familiar faces before taking my seat at the bar. A few more bundled-up […]
By Kylie Hogg Music Journalis I talked to the singer of the Nashville-based band, Champagne, recently about Nashville, concept albums, and robots! Champagne is composed of frontman Nick Seaman, Chris Cabaniss, and Aaron Umberger. They were based in Austin but recently moved to Nashville Tennessee. Champagne will be playing our next Third Thursday event at The Porch, this Thursday, November 17, 2022! Kylie Hogg: So you’re in Nashville right now, correct? […]
By Hannah Walls Web Content Assistant When I first transferred to Texas State, my first order of business was finding a great place to live. After a less-than-perfect first year of college at a different university, which was mostly spent in isolation in my tiny single dorm room, I was ecstatic to move into a “real” apartment. I’d been dreaming of having a space where I could cook, decorate and […]
By McKenna Wells Local Music Director I could not tell you how stoked I was to see Paramore on the list of headliners for Austin City Limits Festival in 2022. Despite being a dedicated fan of the band, I had never seen them live but ACL gave me the opportunity to see them for the first and second times. For weekend one, I was ready and lined up at the […]
By Keller Welton (KJHK) and Maddy Lehr (KTSW) Our third night of Levitation was spent at Mohawk to see Hunx & His Punx and Death Valley Girls. Outside the venue, we met with Bonnie Bloomgarden of Death Valley Girls, who was impressively dressed as Lydia Deetz. Keller: How is Austin? How is Levitation? How is Levitation treating Austin’s frequent visitor bands? Bonnie: It’s so cool, we just flew in late last […]
By Avery Viers Local Music Director Hosted Thursday through Sunday of Halloween Weekend each year, LEVITATION has been Austin’s premier Psych Music Festival since its establishment in 2008. In celebration of LEVITATION’s 10-year anniversary, the festival’s planning committee chose to opt for a non-traditional festival format. Compared to traditional formatting of festivals like Austin City Limits at Zilker Park, non-traditional music festival schedules spread their lineup across multiple venues. Despite […]
By Ashley Farnie Assistant Music Director It has been a busy month of shows and festivals, but I will not let that curb my excitement for Levitation this weekend! With a lineup more focused on rock and punk, Levitation offers a varied range of international artists. Set up similar to the organization of SXSW, Levitation takes place in music venues and bars throughout the Austin area. Due to the recent […]
By Hannah Walls Web Content Assistant Overwatch 2 was originally announced in 2019, and after several pushbacks (and, of course, scandals) it finally released on Oct. 4th. Amidst Blizzard’s long list of issues with game development and management, I took a pretty long hiatus from the first game and was still undecided on whether I was willing to give its successor a try. Despite my skepticism, I was curious about […]
By Maddy Lehr Last weekend, I had the absolute honor of speaking with one of my favorite bands, Twen. Just a few months ago, they released their sophomore album, One Stop Shop. Avery, another assistant music director, and I sat down with Jane Fitzsimmons and Ian Jones to talk about the new album. Maddy: How was the band formed? Jane: We both went to school in Boston, and we were […]
