The fact that there were absolutely no instruments on the stage of the Bayou Music Center on Wednesday night hinted towards the fact that it was going to be a different kind of show.

Odd Future’s Earl Sweatshirt opens up in his second album, released digitally Monday March 23, and gets deep into the tiny corners of his mind.

First, I am going to start off by stating facts. I know that today is a good day! It day two of the biggest event on campus, Frontier Fiesta ,which, by definition means more cook offs,more food, and most of all, Cher Lloyd! If you don’t know who that is well, let me take you […]
I met with Handsomebeast, a Houston band who classifies themselves as a funky-space-rock-bump-n-grind genre, at Spider House this past weekend in Austin. In a world where everything is classified as indie rock it was refreshing that a sub-category was provided. The boys grew up in the same part of town and all ended up at Loyola […]
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo wrapped it all up with a bang. Luke Bryan performed, Rodeo athletes were awarded, and the thousands of volunteers that dedicate days and nights for this life-changing event were recognized.

Brad Paisley attracted a full house to his sixth rodeo appearance and made history when 75,167 paid to see him perform, placing him as the ninth top performer in Rodeo attendance history. Brad Paisley is the definition of flawless; perfectly rehearsed, one could sense there was a free spirit within Paisleys’ artistry. He did as […]
The 21 year old rapper from England flew all the way to Austin to perform at SXSW and had the crowd at the Dr. Martens/Culture Collide house grooving the whole time.

The Band Perry pioneered their fourth Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo performance to surpass the expectations of over sixty five thousand attendees. Due to recognition of Rodeo competitors, the band was welcomed with a later than usual show time, resulting in a large number of empty seats before the fourth song. Although The Band Perry […]
The Palm on 6th st. was a full house and for good reason. Not only was the headliner for the evening Too $hort, but names like King Chip, Freddie Gibbs, Slim Thug and Trae the Truth were on the bill as well. The Saturday night evening was put on by Empire Distribution and they really […]
Thursday night, after enduring the terrible disappointment of not being able to see Incubus, I took a break and met with an old friend. We decided to hit dirty sixth, which is an area that frightens me. We ended up hearing some good music coming out of The Dizzy Rooster so we went in there […]

What better way to end SXSW than having J.Cole perform at one of the biggest venue’s in Austin. The line to enter the venue was crazy, but everyone was willing to wait about several hours to get in. J.Cole took a quick pit stop from his tour to perform Saturday night in Austin bringing a […]

Aside from the big artists at SXSW, the festival was primarily created to support the local musicians as well as the up and coming artists.

Shelton’s 75,016 paid attendees helped place his show in front of other performers, such as Pitbull and Florida Georgia Line.
