December 9, 2014 Save the date because J. Cole will be releasing an album entitled “2014 Forest Hills Drive”. This album will be different from any other album he’s released, and many albums in general, because it will have no singles out in advance just the album. This is similar to what happened in 2013 when Beyoncé […]
One could say a lot of great pop music comes out of Europe. The variety that’s produced from this continent has influenced generations of musicians and continues to do so to this day. With that, not only has the music influenced a global audience, but artists located at home base. This is the case for […]
This Friday I had the pleasure of attending the sold out Wiz Khalifia concert at Warehouse Live. After waiting in line for over 2 hours for the Grammy nominee in the cold 40 degree weather, I finally experienced an unforgettable show. Unfortunately the Taylor’d fans didn’t get to experience the awesome Wiz and Curren$y duo […]

Day three of FunFunFun Fest was bittersweet. I was sad because the festivities were coming to an end, but I was also relieved due to my exhaustion. The day went sour for me on the way to the festival. There was a wreck that had me stuck in traffic for almost an hour. I was […]
I saw The Internet, Thundercat, Cashmere Cat and Neutral Milk Hotel on day three of FFFFest. The Internet performed very early in the day. They were given a short set- just 40 minutes long- but they made the most of it. Syd the Kyd got every person standing within 30 feet of the stage to […]
The Sour Notes are an Austin based indie rock band. They have gone on several tours along the east and west coasts and have performed in various festivals including SXSW and Free Press Summer Fest.

The night before his 2nd studio album dropped, Cadillactica, Big K.R.I.T threw down a stellar performance. One that would signify him as a true king remembered in time (K.R.I.T.). He performed tracks from multiple mixtapes and albums, with songs like “Sub pt. 1” all the way to “Cadillactica,” off the self titled album. K.R.I.T. […]
FunFunFun Fest had so many things going on, that I could not even count them on my hands. Aside from the music performances to attend, there were games to be played, Twinkies to be eaten since the Twinkie man seemed unfamiliar with the phrase, “No thanks”, and live art to take in. SprATX, pronounced Spray-Tee-Ex, […]
After waking up, packing our things, checking out of our hotel room, eating lunch, and shopping at Waterloo Records (they were selling records and doing the signings at the fest, but we wanted to check the brick and mortar location (I picked up the new Total Control and Flesh Lights albums)), my friend and I […]
Day three of the festival was by far the more relaxed day of the weekend. As opposed to camping out front stage, shoving through crowds and scavenging for good viewing spots, we decided to casually lounge around from stage to stage and watch a variety of things. We started off in the blue stage where […]
ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE! Big Sean had the walls of the Cullen Performance Hall echoing with screaming UH students after putting on an impeccable show this past Homecoming weekend.

Day two of Fun Fun Fun Fest I decided to focus on two things in particular: Nas and the Nite shows. I began the day with Zorch, an Austin-based drummer and synth master duo founded at the Berkeley School of Music. Playing locally for years, they landed a gig- two, actually- at FFFFest this year […]
Day two of festing, I arrived on the scene early at 11:30. The weather was a bit warmer than the night before, causing me to stuff my jacket in the bottom of my backpack. I was able to catch indie rockers, The Sour Notes on the Orange Stage. They were so much fun! Their beats […]
