By Bandera Barter Music Journalist Going to SXSW for the first time I really had no idea what to expect. I’ve heard about the crazy day parties and I’ve seen the video of Lady Gaga being voluntarily vomited on in the name of art, but this was all through a screen. This would be the first time I would experience SXSW for myself. I scoured the schedule planning on and […]

Canon was lending out cameras so people could come and practice their concert photography skills. Not only was I able to go support local artists but I was able to capture them much better than my iPhone eight could even dream possible. I […]
By McKenna Wells Local Music Director The showcase that Texas Emo Club put on at the Ballroom at Spider House was hands down the event I was most looking forward to covering for SXSW 2022 and let me say, I was not wrong to do so. As a self-proclaimed emo kid myself, I put on my fishnets and worn-out doc martens and headed to Austin Wednesday morning. The first band […]
