Japanese Breakfast made a tour stop at the beloved White Oak Music Hall in Houston, along with openers SASAMI. The doors opened at 8, and everyone in line was ready to kick off the Halloween weekend with the band. All you can see is unique costumes, from a juice box to an Astronaut that represented […]
It was big news when three local bands — BLURRED IN10TIONS, Everglaze and Rōzy — were announced to open for Trapt. The show was at Rise Rooftop, a venue known for its electronic dance parties and EDM artists, so it was a bit unusual for a rock concert to be held here, especially on Halloween […]
The authenticity and variety of West African music draws its inspiration from ancient Mandinka culture. Mandinka people are a sub-ethnic group of the Mandes, an ethnic family who originated from the former Mali Empire (13th to 16th century). Nowadays, they are found in the regions of Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, and Northern Ivory Coast. The Mandinka […]
Milky Chance is an Indie-Rock band hailing from the streets of Germany. The band formed in 2012 and consists of lead vocalist Clemens Rehbein, bassist/percussionist Philipp Dausch, and guitarist Antonio Greger. They are known for blending their folk, electronic and alternative influences to create their own nonchalant indie sound. In 2013, Milky Chance began to […]
Mayday Parade announced their 2022 tour, the 11th Anniversary Self-Titled Album Tour, last week. Their self-titled album was released on Oct. 4, 2011. Out of their 6 studio albums, their self-titled still has some of their strongest work. It is my personal favorite, and lead vocalist Derek Sanders’s favorite by them as well. To celebrate […]
Ambient music is entirely based around creating a meditative atmosphere so that the listener’s mind can wander freely and enjoy a hypothetical musical landscape. I often get lost in here, but in a good sense, just to explore. One of the great musical architects of the past couple of decades that is able to create […]
With less than two weeks to go before the gates open, Astroworld has revealed the lineup for their third annual (excluding 2020 for obvious reasons) festival. Headlined of course by the festival’s founder and curator Travis Scott, this year marks the event’s first ever multi-day event. While no set times or schedule have been announced, […]
PinkPantheress is the UK-based music phenomenon, with a prominent (but mysterious) online presence and an iron grip on the indie electronic scene. If you haven’t heard of PinkPantheress yet, chances are you’re not hugely involved with social media. Her music has heavily saturated the TikTok-Instagram-Twitter digital sphere, and her fan base has been growing exponentially […]
Friday was a long night. My partner in crime and I were greeted with a fully sold-out show at White Oak Music Hall, full of young couples yearning for an intimate journey that sourly reeked, reminiscent of a high school dance. After arriving a tad bit late to what soon unveiled itself as the tamest […]
To be completely honest, this article has been a long time coming. Apollo XXI has been one of my favorite albums for quite awhile now–although it did take me several months to fully appreciate it. It’s an uncommon blend of funk, neo-soul, R&B, jazz, and indie rock elements, and it often takes first-time listeners a […]
Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing set off on a co-headlining “Out in the Way” tour across North America in the beginning of October. They played all the major Texas cities, and ended their Texas run in Houston’s very own Satellite Bar. Doors opened at 7, and everyone in line couldn’t wait to get a couple […]
After many delays and frenzied anticipation, renowned musician Björk finally took to the stage in her motherland of Reykjavík, Iceland, in a glorious return to performing as part of the “Björk Orkestral” shows. Each of the four shows, originally slated for June 2020, were set to be performed with varying members of the Iceland Symphony […]
GTS Presents Rocktoberfest kicked off hard and fast with Houston alt-rock Trio Sub Penguin. The power trio kicked off the show at 4:00PM with the high-voltage energy you would expect from a band covering tunes from Nirvana. Sub Penguin ended their thirty-minute set with a bang (literally) when singer and guitarist Griffin Perkins smashed his […]
Fall is right around the corner and we’re ready for it! Here are five albums to listen to for any occasion — whether it’s driving somewhere, hanging out with friends, or simply just staying home. Teens Of Denial by Car Seat Headrest This album is the perfect example of a good coming-of-age/dark academia indie rock […]
Houston’s largest music festival is back again for another year. Like every other festival, Astroworld took a hiatus last year, but Travis Scott and his brand of high-energy rap music seem to be on track for another banger in 2021. As in years past, the festival lineup hasn’t been revealed yet, so in the meantime […]
In just a few weeks, Alex G will perform in Houston as part of his US tour. With some dates already sold out, this tour is bound to be a triumphant post-lockdown return to touring for one of indie music’s most acclaimed stars in recent memory. The influence Alex G — formerly known as (Sandy) […]
The third and final day of ACL started off strong with Texas local artists Nané, which came together at UT Austin in 2016, as well as rockstar-in-training Zach Person and group BLK ODYSSY, both from Austin, TX, as well. Rap/hip-hop artist Payday performed at the same time as these artists as well. She was born […]
ACL Day 2 starts with me arriving at 12:30, determined to see some of Frances Forever‘s act before heading to the press lounge to write. I made it for the very end of their set, so I got to watch them perform from a distance. Frances Forever’s name was displayed in a 1970’s-inspired font on […]
Ah, yes. Leaves are falling, temperatures are dropping (sort of), horror and thriller films are on T.V. It must be fall! This means it’s time to break out the flannels and combat boots, hang up the spiderwebs, and come up with a costume for that big Halloween party. For me, it’s my favorite time of […]
The first day of ACL was my first time going at all, so I took longer than anticipated parking/getting in/etc. However, when I walked in around 2:30 I was pleasantly surprised by the low hum of energy already coursing through the park. I walked past the Honda stage where jxdn was welcoming a girl from […]
