March 5, 2025 RayRay Leave a comment

As we continue to churn out some of these SXSW getting to know you pieces, I am finding a lot to look forward to next week when the music lineup really shows up in Austin. If you’re one of those still holding on to the old Austin narrative, why not venture out and see one of the hundreds of amazing bands coming to town? One such band we’d recommend is Montreal based outfit Last Waltzon, who were kind enough to answer our interview questions. You can find full responses, show dates, and tunes after the jump.

March 3, 2025 RayRay Leave a comment

One week away people. Just one more short week away from the chaos and joy that comes with the annual SXSW festival in Austin, TX. Though one can never be truly prepared for everything, we hope you fans have at least had some time to peruse the band list to find something that sparks your interest. Hopefully another interview set, this time from Texas natives Saint Blonde, will further spark some musical interest in your ear holes. Check out the band’s responses along with tunes and show times after the jump. This one had some really great and thoughtful responses.

SXSW Interviews 2025: Population II

February 28, 2025 RayRay Leave a comment

The ATH team is still thrown off with how early SXSW is going down this year, and it seems insane that things kick off in just over a week. How is this possible?!? Well, ready or not, things are set to go down soon as we close out the long AF month of February. Hopefully some interviews and guides will help you prepare yourself and find some bands to follow around town. Today our next interview set comes by way of Montreal based band Population II. Hit the jump for full interview, show times, and tunes.

SXSW Interviews 2025: Gold Star

February 20, 2025 RayRay Leave a comment

It is here folks. It is somehow time to start planning and prep for SXSW 2025. Things are happening a bit earlier this year in March so we are going to start churning out coverage now with less than a month to go before things kick off in Austin. It seemed like a no brainer for us to continue our quick hit interview sessions, offering a brief glimpse into the lives of these musicians and creatives. Starting things off with a bang this festival season, we have Los Angeles based artist Gold Star. You will find his full interview, along with current known show dates and streaming music, after the jump.

Show Review: MJ Lenderman @ Emos (2.6)

February 10, 2025 Michael Maly Leave a comment

Breaking up is hard to do, but it sure does make for good music.

MJ Lenderman’s lyrics aren’t sprawling, poetic pleas for understanding. Instead, they arrive as snapshots intimate, personal, and timeless observations of everyday life. Wrap that up nice and tight with music that echoes the highlights of a sound delivered within a newly appointed label aptly titled No Depression in the 90s, which found itself a successful hybrid of Americana and Rock, spawning the genre Alt-Country. Breathing life into its faded wake comes Lenderman.

“Coward cutting Joker lips into a rubber mask
Please don’t ask how I’m doing
Draining cum from hotel showers
Hoping for the hours to pass a little faster.”

Car Day Shares About That

February 3, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

You know I love a joyous little synthpop number if it’s dropping in my inbox from Sweden, like the latest from Car Day. This one immediately reminded me of our friends in Letting Up Despite Great Faults; it carries that same balance between soft pillow talk and aggressive dance groove. I think the soaring of the notes wins out on this one, letting the melody kind of carry the track to the edges, waiting as the synth stabs allow themselves to add the slightest little exclamation mark. It’s a nice little weekend palate cleanser, setting you for a week of great new tunes!

Show Review: Cunningham Bird @ Paramount Theater (01.25.25)

February 1, 2025 jon.wagner Leave a comment

“Do you always trust your first initial feeling?”

This seemingly innocuous, yet thought-provoking question speaks to the nature of foresight and perception. Humans, by nature, are notoriously bad at predicting the future. Listen to your gut, the saying goes but our big brains often get in the way. Read more

Air Celebrate 25 Years of Moon Safari at Moody Amphitheater in Sublime Futuristic Fashion

November 1, 2024 Michael Maly Leave a comment

Wednesday night at The Moody Amphitheater in Austin, Tx, iconic, electronic French duo Air brought the North American leg of the Moon Safari Tour to its finale. Playing for a capacity crowd, clearly carrying their deep admiration for the 1998, pioneering, electronic classic, Moon Safari, the French duo of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benot Dunckel accompanied by touring drummer Louis Delorme exceeded any expectations that this experience would be nothing less than sublime.

Levitation Interviews: Hello Mary

Unless you are living under some sort of large rock, you should be fully aware that Levitation Festival started last night in the ATX.

If you’re still looking for some recommendation this weekend, we’ve got one last getting to know you interview from Brooklyn based Hello Mary. Be sure to hit the jump for interview, tunes, and set times.

Show Review: Sigur Ros @ Bass Concert Hall (10.04.24)

October 7, 2024 jon.wagner Leave a comment

On a balmy October Friday night, opposite the insanity of the first night of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, something of another story altogether was brewing across town at the 40 acres. After skipping our fair city the last time around during this orchestral iteration, the Icelandic trio, Sigur Ros returned triumphantly to the University of Texas campus. The experiences between the Zilker park faithful in contrast those in attendance at the Bass Concert Hall could not have been starker. Here was the trio and their rotating accompaniment on their last show date of their 8-date orchestral tour in the US and in the process simply expanded time and altered consciousness. Adjectives and prose fail me to describe just how hauntingly beautiful, breathtakingly colossal, and overwhelmingly entrancing they can be when in form.
