By Joaquin Lewis Music Journalist Like many, I first discovered Royel Otis through their breakout cover of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor” on Triple J’s Like A Version this past January. Despite this cover becoming a staple on my playlists, I hesitated to dive deeper into their discography and become an invested fan. That all changed in April when I stumbled upon their cover of The Cranberries’ “Linger.” I […]
By Harriet Bernard Music Journalist Chappell Roan knocked it out of Zilker Park for her last stop of The Midwest Princess Tour at ACL Weekend 2. As we know from the previous weekend, Chappell’s first crowd was massive and the peak performance of the three days, so attendees could expect the exact same for last Sunday. Sure enough, fans camped at the American Express barricade from the second the […]
Evelyn Lopez Music Journalist This past weekend was the only Texas stop for the Big Ideas Tour. A fashionable diva in a graphic tee with a tie print and camo jongs (slang for long jean shorts) is one of my favorite sets from weekend two at ACL. This past summer, Remi Wolf released her second album, Big Ideas (2024). An alternative pop album full of catchy hooks, funky instrumentals, […]
By Ashlee Harcar Local Music Journalist Weekend One of Austin City Limits proved to be an awakening experience, and kicking off my first set with Mannequin P***y was just the beginning. As a die-hard fan of the band, seeing Mannequin P***y for the second time within a span of just four months felt like a lucid dream. My first encounter with the Philadelphia-based, punk-tinged alternative band was at Primavera Sound […]
By Harriet Bernard Music Journalist It’s that time of year, again, and the 2024 Austin City Limits line up packs a punch. With Weekend 1’s wrap up, the hype lingers in the air for round two. Not only have the large headliners put this year’s fest on the map but there is a prominent local presence, during Weekend 2 alone, that will give out-of-towners a taste for the Central […]
Evelyn Lopez Music Journalist Weekend one of ACL has wrapped, and many are anticipating more that Weekend Two will bring. I have seen multiple Tweets and videos from this past weekend showing how big the crowds were. An aerial view over Chappell Roan's set showed Zilker Park at its fullest and almost unrecognizable. People have advised me to wear comfortable shoes, stay extremely hydrated, and protect my lungs from the […]
By Ashlee Harcar Local Music Journalist As the beating sun hit my skin, the pounding of industrial speakers filled my ears. The thud of running footsteps echoed across the grounds of Zilker Park and I had no idea what to expect from my first time at Austin City Limits. One thing that I knew for sure, I was going to be front row to Jungle, come hell or high […]
Adrianna Elias Music Journalist So, picture this: a broke college student from West Texas, hoping for a miracle invitation to the coolest event in Austin—Austin City Limits (ACL). I would daydream about a conversation going down like this: "Hey, Adrianna, it's so good to see you! You're incredible and so cool. Wanna go to ACL for free?" Cue the celestial glow as a super-hipster clearly made for an Austin, Texas, […]
By Grace Wartman Music Journalist This past weekend, I got to attend Austin City Limits at Zilker Park in Austin! With scary sights to get festival goers in the Halloween spirit, such as having to see Jared Leto in person and the black snot aftermath in my nose due to Zilker Park dust and whatnot, the festival was, as always, a mentally-healing, physically draining, excellent 32 hours of live music. […]
