The Ting Tings brought their Super Critical Tour to Houston on April 21st, just three years and a day after their last Houston show (fun fact!) in support of their latest album Super Critical. For anyone who doesn’t know The Ting Tings, were you even alive during 2008? Where were you the year when “That’s Not My Name” became […]

After his EP “Take Me To Church” conquered the airwaves, Hozier became a household name. The musician from Wicklow County in Ireland has been in demand everywhere. He has since performed on Saturday Night Live, at the Victoria’s Secret fashion Show 2014, Coachella and even sang a brilliant duet with Annie Lennox at the 57th Grammys. Last […]

On Friday the 10th of April, tUnE-yArDs brought their Nikki Nack tour to Houston for a full-length show after their short appearance at last year’s Free Press Summer Festival. With this being the penultimate tour date (San Antonio’s Maverick Festival being the last) and the last U.S. club show (for a while), Houston was in for a […]

  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. No other band was needed to get the audience hyped up as Pentatonix hit the stage without an opening act. The sold out show […]

Dan + Shay and Canaan Smith made a stop at the House of Blues on their first headliner, the Where It All Began tour (named after their first album). The boys played an electrifying set that included their famous mashup of Taio Cruz’ “Dynamite” and Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger,” a cover of Ed Sheeran’s […]

“This is literally our first rodeo,” were the first words uttered by Fall Out Boy bassist, Pete Wentz at RodeoHouston this Sunday but both the crowd and the band’s set proved otherwise. When you think of rodeo performances, Fall Out Boy probably isn’t the first name that comes to mind but after their first appearance […]

The country queen has returned to her home-state and received a warm welcome from over 62,000 fans. This was Miranda’s fourth time performing at the Houston Rodeo, “I’m still really freaking nervous y’all,” said Lambert, who made her Rodeo debut back in 2008. Since then, Miranda has been named female vocalist of the year at the ACM’s […]

Whether it was Rachel Platten‘s sweet, bluesy cover of “Thinking Out Loud,” Paradise Fears breaking out with spoken word in the middle of their set, or Alex and Sierra‘s endearing on-stage dialogue and anecdotes (including an adorable Simon Cowell impression), The Good Guys and a Girl tour showed the House of Blues a great time last […]

Formed in 2007, San Diego natives Pierce the Veil are seasoned veterans in the music industry, and their experience was prevalent in the detail that clearly went into the design of the show. The band is currently co-headlining a world tour with Sleeping With Sirens, and openers PVRIS and Mallory Knox, that recently passed through […]

Downtown Houston on a Friday night has been a little cold lately but this past Friday Usher heated things up by giving his Houston fans the perfect Usher experience on The UR Experience Tour at the Toyota center. The RnB icon had the audience on cloud nine by performing his current hits and of course […]

Despite its status as one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed of the metal subgenres, death metal often gets marginalized by the community at large. This probably explains its often noticeable absence from some of the bigger summer concert tour festivals such as Mayhem Fest and the now-defunct Ozzfest. There is the major […]

The first band, In Memory Of, was obviously well known and well liked by the audience. Right before they began playing the audience cheered at an almost deafening level and girls were proclaiming their love for the members. They began with very upbeat, energetic songs that showcased the singer’s mastery of clean and unclean vocals […]

On September 10, 2014, Concert Drive visited the great University of Houston to give us a live performance at the Lynn Eusan Park. People were lured into the concert by the Bajan style music where they sat on blankets and were happily eaten by mosquitoes. The smell of OFF was thick in the air as […]

Earlier this week, American duo: MKTO was in town for their American Dream Tour. I’ll start by giving a brief background on these boys. The pair consists of two guys named Malcom Kelley and Tony Oller. They met back in 2010 when filming TV series Gigantic. In 2013 they released their debut single titled Thank […]

A couple of days ago, Coog Radio gave away free tickets to see YG in concert. Last night was the Houston stop of the My Krazy Life tour, which is named after his debut album. YG also brought some friends along to open up for him including Fat Pimp, Dorrough Music, and DJ Mustard. The […]

Ten years ago the remnants of Creed joined forces with vocalist/guitarist Myles Kennedy to form Alter Bridge. Had the relationship between Scott Stapp and his bandmates been less volatile Creed could have evolved into what Alter Bridge is today. Regardless, the release of their fourth album “Fortress” has revived the hard rock style that initially attracted fans to their […]

This past Tuesday a legend visited our great city. She brought along Tennessee Singer/Songwriter, Valerie June, who charmed the audience with her blues, country, bluegrass and soul stylings. If they didn’t know who she was when they walked in, they sure knew June when she left the stage. After a short intermission, the curtain pulled […]

Where were you last Thursday? If the answer isn’t, “Rocking my face off at the Toro Y Moi concert”, then boy did you miss out. Luckily for those of you who couldn’t make it out to the House of Blues last week for Toro’s stop through Houston, I’m here to tell you all about how […]

Editor’s note: This review was written by Michael Geronimo I had the pleasure to attend the Fall Out Boy/Panic! At The Disco/Twenty-One Pilots show at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion Wednesday. For those of you who don’t listen to my show (Reggae Among Dude Thursdays 7-9pm), I am also a high school teacher, so I was […]
