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 […]
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 […]
G-Eazy toured around Texas the past few days. His performance at Warehouse Live made up with intensity what it lacked in duration. Sometimes, the best performances are short and sweet. Concert-goers had already packed into the spacious, yet limited venue that was Warehouse Live by the time G-Eazy began his show. DJ J Que (replacing […]
The Internet burst onto the music scene in 2011 with their mellow, yet lyrically loaded debut album titled Purple Naked Ladies. Odd Future Members Syd The Kyd and Matt Martians, along with Jameel Bruner, Patrick Paige and Christopher A. Smith constitute The Internet. To get an idea of the complex themes The Internet broadcasts to their […]
Flying Lotus has produced yet another critical and sure-to-be-popular hit with his newest album, You’re Dead! The album begins by showcasing collaborating bassist Thundercat’s skills in the first five tracks, up to “Never Catch Me” feat. Kendrick Lamar. Those tracks help establish the musical tone of the album: fusion jazz first, and dreamy hip-hop second. […]

The new Hip Hop and R&B station, 93.7 The Beat, has been creating a buzz in the city of Houston, since they launched earlier this year. They have now announced the “H-Town Beatdown” which will take place at BBVA Compass Stadium on Friday, June 20th. Performers include Kendrick Lamer, J.Cole, Trey Songz, and Future. Houston’s […]
I knew. Ever since I found Rhythm and Poetry on Reddit under the heading of “I’m a Houston rapper who just released his first mix tape”, I knew. As soon as I heard the Henry Rollins sample, I knew. When I heard his choice of beats (Atmosphere being among them), I knew. When I heard […]
photo credit: Houston Press What better way to spend July 4th than seeing Houston music royalty? Geto Boys’ set at Free Press Summer Fest ran into some trouble when Bushwick Bill was detained for drug posession. FPH has just announced a make up show at the House of Blues that will feature all members, and […]
https://soundcloud.com/iamjaylotus/jaylotus-the-love-movement Jay Lotus is self described as a “saxophonist turned producer,” and it definitely shows. His albums, all instrumental, expertly wrap hip-hop beats over a groove-laden core. Other tracks capture the improvisational nature of jazz while mixing the skilled hands of a producer at a drum machine. If you’re looking for the perfect study music, […]
Despite the name, Houston is a band who (as far as we know) hasn’t even visited the Bayou City. In fact, we aren’t even sure they’ve ventured outside their native Sweden. Despite all this, we are sure of one thing: their sound is as diverse and multifaceted as it’s namesake. It could be described as one part […]
