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 […]

They opened up the Orange Stage Saturday morning for Austin’s Fun Fun Fun Fest. I had the privilege to sit […]
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 […]
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. The Detroit rapper, who is now a member of Jay z’s ‘Roc Nation’ performed numerous of his hits like ’10 2 10,’ ‘Fire’, and ‘Beware’. The ‘Finally Famous’ rapper […]
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 […]
Alright, so to put day two of FFF Fest into perspective, I have to talk about the Nites show I went to late on day one at Red 7. I was planning on making it in time to see Fat White Family, Twin Peaks, and King Tuff, but ended up missing Fat White Family. The […]
Fun Fun Fun Fest Day One What an energetic experience I got to be a part of today. By the time I showed up to pick up my tickets, the will call line contained hundreds of people, waiting to get in to the festival.The bright Austin sun heated up the pavement and sapped my strength […]
After an (unsuccessful) attempt to receive my FFF Fest wristband (the thing that gets you in to the festival) at will call on Thursday night, I was finally able to manage to my pass Friday morning at Auditorium Shores. After that, there was a wait. They let some media in earlier than the rest (including […]
Many a trial and tribulation tried to hold me back from getting to Austin. However, I was able to conquer said trials and at 4 PM finally hit the road, saying farewell to Houston for the weekend. Much to my distress nasty traffic was caught and I didn’t get to Auditorium Shores until 7:40. I […]

The first lady of Top Dawg Entertainment is known for each and every single song from her critically acclaimed EP., “Z”, and there is no need for exaggeration or flattery. Fans, and fans in the making of every color, gender, and music taste […]
Popular Danish art punks Iceage are playing Fun Fun Fun Fest! Iceage may be the most interesting punk band around today. They’d hate that I’m calling them a punk band, because it’s very difficult to pin these guys down. They take from so many different places: musically, lyrically, geographically, and infuse their personality into their […]
