Allison Kirk Music Journalist The Texas Women’s Songwriters Festival in Lockart kicked off its 2nd year this September (19-21). Founded in 2024 by Mandy Rowden, as a way to bring more awareness to the large group of women songwriters from Texas. The festival consists of luncheons, live song-swap events with 50+ upcoming women writers performing around the Lockhart square, and headliner shows. This festival was a great time and […]
Emma Paff Rap/Hip-Hop Director This past Tuesday, I had the pleasure of experiencing Dana and Alden’s Papa’s Boat Tour at Paper Tiger in San Antonio. The night started off perfectly; while my photographer and I were walking up to the venue, we met the dynamic duo themselves. Brothers Dana and Alden McWayne were hanging out across the street with big smiles on their faces, greeting a group of fans. After […]
Jared Stautzenberger Assistant Music Director Starting this Friday up until October 11th, Austin City Limits music festival will be celebrating its 25th anniversary. In 2002, the iconic music festival broke out with mostly Indie/Americana artists and local musicians. Nickel Creek, Ryan Adams, and Bob Schneider were the big names at its debut, and H-E-B had its own sponsored stage. Over 24 years later, Austin City Limits operates in the […]
Brooke Bousley Music Journalist When Katseye made their first Coachella appearance back in April of this year, the vision that HYBE and Geffen had marketed to the general population via Dream Academy seemingly encountered an unexpected halt. Manon Bannerman, the group’s alluring visual, prolonged her absence following an official hiatus announcement — a narrative that read hauntingly familiar to those who had previous experience in monitoring girl group dynamics. […]
Enrique Lara Music Journalist Third Thursday concluded with enough energy to last until the next. The Porch once again hosted the event, with the band Building 8 kicking off the night at 10 pm and Burnadine finishing it off by midnight. As my first Third Thursday event, I will be bringing as many people as I can to experience the next. Building 8 started as I began to table with […]
Desarey Elizondo Lopez Music Journalist This year’s Levitation has blown me away and might have been the most fun I’ve experienced. I was able to see so many bands live that I hadn’t seen or even heard of before, and of course a few I’ve already had the opportunity to experience such as Die Spitz, Grocery Bag and Her New Knife. Each day brought a unique experience with different bands […]
Blake Burton Music Journalist LEVITATION took over multiple venues across the city for four nights of noise, bringing together a wide range of genres and sounds. I was fortunate enough to spend most of my festival weekend at the Far Out Lounge, where I enjoyed every minute of it. With two stages running throughout the weekend, there was never a quiet moment and nearly every act brought something different to […]
Maddie Bogan Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist Earlier this year, I came across this solo artist referred to as Cowgirl Clue. I was immediately hooked on her discography because her production style is distinct, but arguably still easy to listen to. In short, Cowgirl Clue’s music is suitable for Southern girls who love indie music. Cowgirl Clue, or Ashley Clue, was born in Austin, Texas. She initially began her music career as a […]
Desarey Elizondo Music Journalist Shoegaze and experimental noise band They are Gutting a Body of Water has become a powerhouse within the underground scene. What makes this band especially unique is their incorporation of breakcore and drum and bass elements, and I can’t think of another band even remotely similar to their sound. TAGABOW is a band I first discovered when I was in high school and have been […]
