Peelander-Z, Yukon Blondes, Bleached, Christian Bland and the Relevators, Tig Notaro Lucero, King Tuff, etc. Looking pretty fun now.
I’m normally not a fan of politics in music. Sure, music is a form of expression and can often times be used to rally people together, but for me, the complexities of a political issue go overlooked in a simple pop song and suddenly a cause you once stood for becomes a marketing campaign and […]
We’re having a party soon. You’re all invited.
https://soundcloud.com/reverberationappreciation/the-ufo-club-july Texas serves as a hub that covers a lot of music scenes and subcultures. Whether it be post-rock (EITS, This Will Destroy You), hip-hop (DJ Screw, Bun B, Pimp C, etc), or folk/americana/country (Willie Nelson, Robert Ellis, Hayes Carl, etc), Texas’ musical roots go pretty deep, but arguably not as deep as its roots […]
2012 may as well be called “The Year of the Segall,” which according to the prolific psych-garage aficionado’s calendar began in late April with Ty and White Fence’s Hair and experienced its summer solstice with Ty Segall Band’s Slaughterhouse. Ty Segall even stopped by Houston in late May and gave a legendary performance at Walter’s, and now […]
It’s strangely not surprising to see Houston favorites Buxton take on the challenge of performing as the Talking Heads. Known for their unique brand of sonically progressive folk/americana, Buxton also has a knack for reimagining classic numbers into their set, covering the likes of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Paul McCartney & Wings, and even […]
We’re taking DJ applications for the Fall semester. All applicants must be current UH students enrolled in the Fall 2012 semester. Fill out our application and submit it to [email protected] All applications are due Sunday, August 19th.
Wild Nothing just released a new song off their upcoming Nocturne. “Paradise,” much like the album’s first single “Shadow,” has Jack Tatum going out of his drippy power-pop shell created by 2010’s summer soundtrack Gemini. Turning to synthesizers for atmosphere and counter melody, the real driving force is the potent groove locked in between guitar and drums that […]
Coog Radio Compilation contributor and friend of the station Noah Clough AKA Josiah Gabriel played a show at Notsuoh’s this past Friday with B L A C K I E, SOHNS, Roger Sellers, Funboys, and NIKKHOO. Josiah’s unique brand of glitchy beat-driven production in conjunction with his powerful vocal delivery, which at times can be […]
The fall semester is fast approaching. Maybe at this point you’re regretting having wasted the summer on Netflix instead of traveling and going on adventures. No worries. Music is another great way of exploring the world. Of course some music – like those generic compilations sold at Starbucks – tend to have the opposite […]
This will forever be on our summer playlist.
Brooklyn-based electronic producer Machinedrum will be coming to the Engine Room this Wednesday, August 1st. Being one half of the acclaimed bass duo Sepalcure and releasing his own excellent full-length Room(s) in 2011, Machinedrum has made a name for himself as one of the more exciting and interesting electronic producers in the last year […]
If you aren’t up on your SWANS game, then you best get to stepping. The “No-Wave” magnum opus of musician Michael Gira is releasing a new album on August 28th, a follow up to 2010’s”My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky,” which was met with some amount of critical acclaim. Veteran SWANS […]
Coog Radio would like to thank all of the artists who contributed to what has turned out to be an incredible group of songs, as well as our listeners and the city of Houston for their continued love and support of our station. Look out for Coog Radio Vol. 2 free limited-edition cassette tapes on the […]
San Francisco area metal duo Om is set to release their newest album, “Advaitic Songs,” blasting the band’s unique brand of ethereal drone metal to a hypnotic zenith. Following the break up of doom metal titans Sleep, bassist Al Cisneros went on to form Om, choosing to focus on a softer more reflective approach drawing […]

“…With the aforementioned tag, I was forced to realize the descriptive “new” belongs to another batch of artists. Artists like the 19-year-old Juarense behind Pájaro Sin Alas. As more and more of these young (very young) faces begin to pop up, it is time to accept facts: this is indeed a new wave.” COOG Radio […]
By The End Of Tonight member James Templeton AKA LIMB is no stranger to the Houston scene. His departure from math-rock and venture into electronic composition would puzzle someone who didn’t know Templeton’s process. Opting for drum triggers and side-chaining instead of simple APC40 noodling, LIMB’s live performance, much like BTEOT’s, is highly intuitive and […]
Ava Luna were recently a part of Weathervane Music’s “Shaking Through,” a documentary series that challenges artists to record and mix a song in just two days. Curated by members of Twin Sister, Volume 3 Episode 6 has Ava Luna showing off its versatility almost to the point of exposing a multiple-personality with “Water Duct,” a […]
