I’ve been fortunate enough to cover Bad Bunny, Beach Fossils, and now it’s come full circle with covering Beach Bunny — quite poetic, to be honest. The Chicago-based indie-rock band stopped by Emo’s on their “Tunnel Vision Tour”, promoting their album of the same name, released late April. The sold-out…
I’ve heard “Walking On A Dream” many times growing up. It’s a song that’s timeless yet nostalgic – if only I didn’t grow up being a dumbass thinking it was an MGMT song this entire time. Once I realized it was actually by Empire of the Sun, I quickly…
The Lighthouse Lounge, located on San Antonio’s West Side, is not typically known for hosting live music. When I walked up to the venue for the first time, I could immediately tell it was a hidden gem. The mouthwatering smell of street tacos being made right out front was…
With how fast K-pop as a genre has grown in San Antonio, I figured it was about time to finally check it out for myself. It’s not a genre I know much about; most of what I know I overheard from my older sister. Admittedly, it’s also not a genre…
I might be labeled a traitor for writing this article, being that I’m a UTSA alumni, but there’s no way I could’ve come to SXSW this year and not stopped by UT’s Hook ‘Em House. Located at the historic Antone’s music venue in Austin, the university transformed this concert…
I had been to ACL Live at the Moody Theater a few times but was always curious about the smaller room located right outside of it, 3TEN at ACL Live. The 350-capacity room is known for hosting emerging artists and bands, and it was my perfect opportunity to check out…
On a cold and rainy Valentine’s Day in Austin, Texas, there was nowhere better to be than at the Mohawk for a sold-out Die Spitz show. I saw this hometown four-piece (Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe Andrews, Ellie Livingston, and Kate Halter) for the first time back in December at the Paper…
Silverstein has been making 25 years of noise yet I had never managed to see them live until now. I was one of the fortunate few in a sold-out crowd at the Vibes Event Center for their “25 Years of Noise Tour,” celebrating the longevity and the success the…
It’s not often that you get to see a band more than once in a year, but much less twice. After seeing this band open for A Day to Remember back in July, that’s exactly what I got to do with Four Year Strong when they stopped by the Paper…
I first heard about Machine Girl when they toured with The Garden in late 2022. I didn’t make it out to any of those shows, but multiple friends who did were raving about their performance as an opening band. The only song I knew at the time was “Ghost,” an…
