If you know me, you know my disdain for StubHub. I will admit, there is probably no logic reason for me to hold such ill-will towards the ticketing giant, but alas, I never said I was perfectly logical. With that said, when I saw the line-up StubHub had set up for their second night at […]

  After the madness at the Mohawk, I made my way to Latitude 30 for the British Music Embassy’s showcase. On this night, I was able to catch three very different groups, all of them very adept at churning out their respective sounds. I may have not been aware of any of these groups prior […]

  South by Southwest started it’s annual music festival with official showcases on Monday. Of the shows I was aware of, I was most excited to go to the Mohawk in Austin and catch acts like Shamir, who I have been a fan of since 2015 when I first saw him at Fun Fun Fun […]

If you have never heard of Nnamdi Ogbonnaya, you’re not alone, but you’ve definitely been left in the dark. The Chicago-bred multi-instrumentalist is one of the most exciting budding artists that I have heard in years, and that’s saying something if you understand how hard it is for new music to catch my ear. “let […]

Have you ever wondered what Tame Impala would sound like if Kevin Parker continued in the musical direction of Innerspeaker? I like to think that the Chicago-based Post Animal is the answer to that question. The five piece hasn’t been around for that long, yet they sound so experienced and tight that it’s hard to believe […]

Venues have to put up warning signs when this band comes into town. It’s best if you bring a poncho to their shows, if you don’t want to get messy. If you like your hearing, you might as well walk in with a pair of earplugs. Fresh out of high school, Starcrawler is one of […]

Imagine a longboard cruising down a cement boardwalk. To your left is an expanse of sand. Off the pace is the ocean, refracting the rays of the sun. It’s beginning to set. You’ve got your sunglasses on, but you can still see that the sky is a mix of rich oranges, yellows and pinks. The […]

George Miller, better known as Joji, is a Japanese-Australian Lo-fi instrumental hip-hop performer and producer. Joji up and started his musical performance by uploading to his YouTube channel called TVFilthyFrank. His alternate persona called Filthy Frank could be one of the most important reasons Joji was able to get his music rolling. By providing his 8.3+ […]

“Maybe I’ll be older, but I’ll feel just the same,” these lyrics, meant to describe love, stolen from The Teskey Brothers’ song “Forever You and Me” also adequately describe one’s relationship with their music. Founded in 2008 by, you guessed it, brothers Josh and Sam Teskey, this band threads folky guitar parts, soulful bass and […]

The ones with a peculiar name No Rehearsal, Houston Indie band, will be featured this Wednesday on Coog Radio LIVE stream at 6 p.m. No Rehearsal is comprised of Matthew Cobb (singer/guitarist), Christian Mireles (bass), and David Shorey (drums). They are critically acclaimed and have performed at local venues such as House of Blues, Nightingale […]

Timothy Russell, also known by his stage name Guilla, pays homage to the diversity of Houston. Guilla’s influences range anywhere from Björk to System of a Down which is easily seen in the variety of his music and it’s uniqueness. Coming from a mother who was an opera singer from England and a father who […]

Chicago’s very own, Twin Peaks, are coming to Austin for the annual Levitation Festival (formerly the Austin Psych Festival) on April 29th- May 1st at the Carson Creek Ranch just outside of Austin. If you’ve never heard of Twin Peaks, you’re missing out, big time, here’s why.

New Orleans’ very own Royal Teeth put on their Cajun dancing shoes for SXSW’s Friday showcase at Esther’s Follies.

As we look back on a crazy week in Austin, we realize that it is slightly colder than it was last week at Austin’s SXSW. (Maybe a sign to remind us that Spring Break is over and school is, once again, a thing?) However, before doing that let us look back at yet another year of music, […]

The Monster Energy Outbreak House on West 5th Street featured different genres of music on four separate days of the 2016 South by Southwest Music Festival and Conference. College, Rock, Hip hop, and EDM music was featured throughout the week, bringing in many diverse crowds to the house.

Back in 2014, I was scrolling through Pinterest and happened to stumble upon the beautiful harmonies and lyrics of trio sister band, Joseph. I went out on a limb and emailed them to come play an acoustic set at a clothing store I worked for at the time. Much to my surprise, they agreed and […]

Ending Thursday’s night of SXSW, Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee played The Velveeta Room with tear filled eyes.
