The Head and The Heart’s positive vibes emanated into the sold out crowd last night; their joyous music and presence enthralled the masses into moving with the music.  They opened the set with the incredible song “All We Ever Knew” and continued through their impressive catalog.  Mid set, Declan McKenna …

Calliope Musicals, 10/14/2016, Barracuda Austin, Photos – Write-up

It’s no secret that Calliope Musicals is one of our favorite bands live, streaming and answering questions.  Friday night, they had the difficult task of playing between TINNAROSE, who just released an album and Sweet Spirit, who’s kicking off their fall tour.  Calliope Musicals did not disappoint, providing the high …

Like a well-oiled tornado, the Cold War Kids tore through their hour and a half set for their ACL Late night show.  The veterans of indie rock have their performance dialed-in and yet did not seem forced or orchestrated.  The set list had the crowd riding waves of nostalgia, blues …

Violent Femmes, 7/20/2016, Stubb’s, Austin, Photos – Write-up

Written by Bang Ho When seeing a band that’s been around for three and a half decades, it’s a treat and a surprise to see what will be played.  While some bands worry about playing their hits early in the set, Violent Femmes jumped started their show with Blister in …

Overcoats, 6/9/2016, Hogg Auditorium, Austin, Photos – Write-up

Overcoats performed a beautiful set opening for Matt Corby in Austin!  The duo may have only taking up a small portion in the center of the huge stage but there was nothing small about the incredible harmonies they produced.  They are a little pop, folk, electro and synth.  They blend …
