By Lillian Jones Local Music Director Hearing the name “The Dallas Cowboys”, fellow Texans are expected to be met with the previously fantastic, recently mediocre football team. However, you might be met with two dudes from NYC in Batman masks jumping around and screaming their hearts out in front of a crowd of rambunctious music lovers. When on stage (or on solid ground of a creaky house), Aiden Gilbert […]
Lillian Jones Local Music Director For me and other Austin residents, the last seconds of 2024 were counted down to the sound of “Slide” by Feeble Little Horse and then 2025 began! Seeing the Pittsburgh based band live on New Year’s Eve was a whole new experience compared to blasting their music in my car. Specifically getting to see lead vocalist and bassist, Lydia Slocum perform. She donned a handmade […]
Lillian Jones Local Music Assistant South by Southwest (SXSW) has been an ongoing festival in Austin, TX since 1987 including conferences, film screenings and music showcases. The music showcases are featured all across town from Red River St. venues to hotel lobbies to lounges up north. With being such a busy and chaotic festival, sometimes the hustle and bustle of official SXSW showcases can become overwhelming. This is where […]
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 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 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 Lillian Jones Music Director This past Mother’s Day I was given the opportunity to experience Slowdive, one of the mother figures of shoegaze, live. Upon receiving confirmation that I would be attending this concert; I was buzzing with nervous energy up until my arrival at the Moody Center in downtown Austin. Once inside the venue, I found my footing in the crowd to watch the last three songs […]
By Lillian Jones Music Director Throughout the day of April 20, drizzling precipitation foreshadowed the calm before the storm that was Mannequin P***y’s performance at Mohawk in Austin. Alongside some friends, I packed into a car filled with anticipation as we made the gloomy I-35 journey downtown. Mannequin P***y released their newest album I Got Heaven on March 1st and shortly began their tour after. The band has a unique […]
By Lillian Jones Local Music Director I received last-minute confirmation that I would be seeing the band Julie and opener Blimp in the early afternoon on Oct. 24. I would usually be hesitant about going to a show spontaneously on a Tuesday, but I decided to reward myself for surviving midterm season. Dreary weather set the tone for a perfect night of shoegaze as I made my way to downtown […]
