Abby McCabe Local Music Director At this year's SXSW, I had the opportunity to meet with the Brilliant Kety Fusco, an experimental Harpist from Italy who writes her own rules, and isn't afraid to introduce the instrument to spaces it typically doesn't belong. Kety's music invites listeners to abandon reason and immerse themselves in her world, where textures provide structural support, and the harp does all the talking. How would […]
Abby McCabe Local Music Director It’s been almost a year since I published my long-form interview with singer, composer, music nerd-extroidinaire, Matt Abajian (Which you can read here… it’s great), and almost a full year since I was introduced to the wonderful world of Hover, an Austin-based electronic neo-folk project led by Matt and friends. After being introduced to the avant-jam vehicle, I had no idea how long I’d spend […]
Abby McCabe Local Music Director If there’s one thing I love more than music that makes you move, it’s getting to know those who make it happen. Since the beginning of hatching my SXSW plan, I knew I had to experience this act live. I just had to. Not only was I attracted to the music, but the band's very essence captivated me. With a sound that sits so heavy […]

By Kyle Halligan-Duffy Music Journalist Upon hearing of Twin Shadow being one of the showcased artists in 2025’s SXSW Music Festival I got excited, but not without hesitation. Like a lot of people, I was exposed to Florida native George William Lewis Jr’s music through snippets of his discography. Mainly his song “Saturdays” featuring the hit sister band Haim and his song “To the Top” featured on the Telltale published […]
By Grace Wartman Music Journalist Tilman Singer’s upcoming horror film "Cuckoo" had its national premiere at this year’s South by Southwest Film Festival. Euphoria star Hunter Schafer leads the movie with teenage angst, a killer scream and a stellar performance – the most captivating element in the film. I left my Paramount theatre seat feeling many things, but nothing could shake how utterly impressed I was by Schafer’s acting in […]
By: Kenlie Golleher Rap Music Director During SXSW, I got the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Chicago-based artist and rapper McKinley Dixon to discuss new music as well as his time at the festival. I was first introduced to Dixon upon reading the lineup of the SPIN showcase that would be headlined by Killer Mike. I decided to do some research on the said lineup, and that’s when I […]

I tagged along with a crew of coworkers planning to capture videography of local alternative psych-rock band, Slurp The World. As band and crew began setting up in […]
