Live Saves The Day

It’s hard to believe that New Jersey’s Saves The Day have been around over twenty years, especially when you consider the full throttled energy of their current live shows. We recently caught them in person, and we were shocked to see how much they brought it to their set. Playing old songs and new, the...More Please

Peter Murphy & David J Bring Bauhaus Back

40 Years of Bauhaus Peter Murphy

by Staff

For many of us, it’s hard to believe that Bauhaus are forty years old, or that we’d see the day when Peter Murphy and David J would stand on the same stage to perform those songs together. Late last year when the Northampton, U.K. four piece dropped The Bela Session on a limited run vinyl...More Please

Lucy Dacus Doesn’t Miss a Beat in Person

Live Lucy Dacus

We’ve been fans of Lucy Dacus for a while, just like we’ve been fans of intimate shows for as long as many of us have covered music. For the sold out set we saw from Dacus, the crowd was on their best behavior and Dacus shined through from beginning to end. After a song that...More Please

Cavetown, also known as Robin Skinner has made waves in releasing a steady stream of music since 2015, and we were pleased to go catch him perform. Skinner mixed the...More Please

Amen Dunes Brings Energy & Passion in Person

Amen Dunes Live

We caught the magic and the passion behind a set from Amen Dunes. Dunes has been going strong since we caught him last year in Marfa, and his live set this time had more energy and emotion than when we caught him over a year ago. Performing a mixture of old favorites alongside a lot...More Please

Toro Y Moi Brings Outer Peace & More to Life

Concert Toro Y Moi

We made it out to catch Toro Y Moi in person, and from beginning to end we were pretty blown away. The energetic show didn’t start off with lots of energy, though the chill atmosphere he created with the opening tracks was more than welcomed by the sold out crowd. Sticking mainly to bangers and...More Please

Drug Church Slays in Person

Drug Church Punk

We caught New York’s Drug Church in person, and they literally blew us away with their intense performance. Playing in a tiny room that is typically reserved for stand-up comedy, the band soldiered through lights that couldn’t be dimmed and delivered a blistering set. While the bulk of the set consisted of songs of their...More Please

Cat Power Mesmerizes in Person

When you write about music, you will eventually have to cover a concert or a festival and write about it. It’s how this goes and so with no photographer allowed, we were ready to write about Cat Power in person. For us, the photos tell so much of the story more than words ever could....More Please

Manchester Orchestra Still Goes Hard

Manchester Orchestra The Front Bottoms

We caught Manchester Orchestra and The Front Bottoms the other night and we were shocked for multiple reasons. For starters, The Front Bottoms seemed to have a rolling cast of performers, that in-between songs would sit at a makeshift bar prop they had on stage. As they frolicked through their set, including refilling beers for...More Please

Buxton’s New Songs Pop in Person

Buxton Casey Magic Claire Morales Concert

We caught Buxton at their album release for their latest stunner, Stay Out Late and it was a doozy of a show. Running through a mix of songs old and new, the band brought in extra players to make the night more magical, as well as a magician and a fellow Texan to round out...More Please

Power Trip & Ceremony Lay Waste To Dallas

Ceremony Power Trip Punk

by Staff

Hearing someone say that a show is a “once in a lifetime” event, gets thrown around a lot today. The truth is that many people say that though the event is just another show. However, when we heard that Dallas’ Power Trip would be celebrating the tenth anniversary together with a show, we knew that...More Please

Fidlar Impresses Fans in Person

by Staff

We caught Fidlar on the tail end of their tour the other night and they seemed to make everyone in attendance happy with their set. We had gone because we wanted to check them off of our list of bands we wanted to see years ago. Though we had fun, the bulk of those in...More Please

Kero Kero Bonito Sparkles in Person

Concert Kero Kero Bonito

Indie pop is always great when it’s good, so it should be no surprise that we were on hand to catch the electricity of London’s Kero Kero Bonito in person. The British trio with two additional members for their live set were definitely in high spirits when they tore through a mix of old and...More Please

The 88Rising Tour Was Full of Production and Surprises

88Rising

We went a bit outside of our typical fare, and caught the 88Rising tour in person. Though we really weren’t super familiar with many of the acts on stage, we definitely were impressed with the performances. Flanked by a huge double tiered video wall, there were plenty of highlights with performances by Niki and The...More Please

It was no surprise that Austin’s A Giant Dog threw a great show, because they always throw a great show. Mixing in fan favorites alongside newer tracks off of their latest release Toy, the band had no trouble making their presence known before leaving Texas for a tour of Europe. In fact A Giant Dog...More Please

Alice Cooper Impresses in Person

We made it out to catch Alice Cooper perform, and amidst the bikers and leather clad rockers in attendance, Cooper didn’t disappoint. Cooper wasted no time in getting started, complete with sparks reigning from the ceiling and plenty of theatrics from the get go. He didn’t waste time getting to the hits either, playing crowd...More Please

To be in the presence of a musical icon in such a small room inspired in the crowd a palpable excitement. Ticket holders jealously guarded their spots and stood vigil. But before the main attraction, a long-locked comedian, Lee Camp, delivered a passionate jeremiad on our nation’s reality star president. Camp informed us that the...More Please

Welcome to the Jungle

interview Julian Casablancas The Voidz

Jungle’s debut came out in 2014 to great fanfare. They were darlings of Pitchfork and received generous independent media coverage. Yet somehow, despite the success of fellow Brit Mark Ronson’s over-hyped earworm “Uptown Funk” that same year, the press for Jungle eventually fizzled and they never hit the same kind of stride in the US....More Please

Artists have had no problem stating that they’re not fans of the current political landscape, though very few are singing about it. You read all the time about how everyone has disdain for the current state of affairs, but there’s almost no one blatantly speaking to it. You know Julian Casablancas from his band The...More Please
