Jared Stautzenberger Assistant Music Director This past Saturday I had the chance to cover the first ever San Marcos Block Party event. Believe it or not, this was an official event that was given approval by the city. The Marc in collaboration helped set up an indoor and outdoor stage that made room for the DJs and performers. The day was filled with EDM sets, live coverage of the […]
Aidan Salas Music Journalist A new pop girl has emerged and released her debut album, PRIMA. ADÉLA was introduced to us as a contestant in Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE documentary series. The Slovakia-born, Los-Angeles based singer has been putting the work in to become the next main pop girl all this time. I’ve always had my eye on her because I knew she had the stage presence and […]
Allison Kirk Music Journalist Credentials After 6 years, The Strokes just released a new album, Reality Awaits, and there’s been a lot of controversy online about it. This album is different than anything we’ve heard from The Strokes before. The band introduces a darker, more techno side than what we’ve seen before, and the lead singer, Julian Casablancas, even uses autotune over his voice in a couple of songs. […]
Ethan McConnell Music Director Everyone has seen rollouts for festivals here and there, like Rolling Loud, ACL, Coachella, the big shows everyone yearns to experience at least once in their lifetime. Here at KTSW, I’m not here to give the spotlight to the big steppers; they get enough promotion on their own. All Points East is a festival that takes place in East London’s Victoria Park, hosting […]
Desarey Elizondo Lopez Music Journalist There are plenty of great bands and artists that I have seen play live, but I can say with full confidence that Lowertown is my favorite to watch perform. Saying that, I knew it was going to be another amazing night with these bands as soon as I heard the familiar strums of Lowertown’s guitar. Lowertown is an indie duo from Atlanta, Georgia […]
Brooke Bousley Music Journalist Previous to Cannelle’s modeling for prestigious fashion houses or releasing music to an ever-expanding global audience, she was staging photoshoots throughout the fields and gardens in her family’s backyard located within a small village outside of Marseille, France. Equipped with her own inquisitive attitude or access to online spaces like Tumblr or Pinterest, Ferragu transformed the French countryside into her own personal fairytale world, imagining […]
Jared Stautzenberger Assistant Music Director This past Sunday I had the opportunity to attend Kesha's Freedom Tour at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater in Austin. Although the thunder tried to interfere with our plans to let loose, Kesha put on a killer performance and reminded everyone that she is the certified queen of bangers! This show was apart of the later half of her tour that supported her new album […]
Ray Bellville Hip-Hop/Rap Journalism Humans have interesting ways of casting spells on others, whether it’s their looks, an action, or the way they speak. A live musical performance does all the above while also captivating bystanders in a trance of vibrations. Not only a live performance but something as small as an earbud can also bring about this effect. But what happens when it's someone else’s? I found myself questioning […]
Bhavana Hari Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist Before JPEGMAFIA became one of H-Hop's most notable voices, Barrington DeVaughn Hendricks (Devon Hendryx) always made music that felt experimental while remaining intimate to listeners. Starting in 2009, Devon Hendryx focused on appealing to an audience that doesn't have typical expectations for rap or hip-hop. The Rockwood Escape Plan may not receive the same attention as The Ghost~Pop Tape or even his later JPEGMAFIA releases. Even […]
