By Lillian Jones Local Music Assistant Waking up to a gray and slightly humid sky on Sunday, February 16th was the perfect way to begin my day that would end with seeing Chat Pile. Chat Pile is a four-piece from Oklahoma City that makes music that can best be described as grotesque, guttural and maybe a little mysterious. My introduction to the group was through their God’s Country album with […]
By Harriet Bernard Music Journalist Yungatita It’s 7 p.m., Friday; it's 78 degrees. As we walked down Red River Street in Austin, we could hear music blasting and the crowd cheering from Mohawk. It was none other than artist Yungatitia. As we got stamped into the venue, we immediately wanted to get a spot on the upper level next to the stage. Usually this area is always full because […]
By Lillian Jones Music Director If you are anything like me, you have had your music taste described as “melancholy” by your peers on multiple occasions. I owe this descriptor and a wide majority of my music taste to the slowcore band Duster. I began listening to Duster my senior year of high school and it quickly became a ritual to listen to them. My daily routine consisted of waking […]
By Joaquin Lewis Music Journalist Crumb is a band that has managed to quietly secure a beloved spot in the Austin music scene. Having heard it in the conversations around me—many concertgoers had first discovered the band during their 2021 set at Levitation Festival, an experience that clearly stuck with them. The fact that tonight’s show was hosted by Austin’s own KUTX 98.9 only added to the sense of homegrown […]
By Lillian Jones Music Director As autumn ever so slowly approaches, the air gets cooler, the leaves get crunchier and our musical rotation gets sadder. To throw myself into the deep end of this seasonal pattern, I found myself at a Fog Lake concert. I had only heard of Fog Lake recently when they opened for Loving on their tour back in the Spring. Unfortunately I had missed that show […]
By Adrian Escareno Local Music Journalist On Thursday, I had the pleasure of traveling back in time to 2010. Austin lived up to its reputation as the Live Music Capital of the World, with Emo's hosting an unforgettable, sold-out show headlined by Foster the People. With their ACL Festival performance looming the very next day, the band delivered a surprising and energetic set. I have to admit, I went […]
Robert Lloyd Howard IV Rap Journalist When JPEGMAFIA announced his ‘Lay Down My Life Tour’ on June 15, 2024, excitement rippled through the fanbase. On July 15, he released the single "Sin Miedo," which was a high-energy, bumping track that made anticipation for the album and tour even higher. By the time I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU finally arrived on August 1, fans were counting down the days, […]
By Harriet Bernard Music Journalist I walked up the red carpeted stairs of the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Monday night. I was politely led to my seat where I would sit for the next three hours. With just about a perfect view in the middle of the mezzanine I could see three chairs, two guitars and a mic basking in a blue light on the stage. I could […]
Joaquin Lewis Music Journalist “What’s going on?” “Who are all these people.” “Why are they all wearing, like, weird make-up?” When considering the perspective of unsuspecting passersby, the mass collection of audience members wrapping around Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater could be viewed as out of the ordinary. Dressed conspicuously in their all-black outfits, accompanied by a face full of jester-like makeup, the crowd gathered for that evening's performance were […]
