Concert Reviews
Cage The Elephant @ Aragon Ballroom – Chicago,IL (Support: AVA & The Federal Empire)
For those who say “Rock is dead,” I’ve got news for you. Rock is more than alive thanks to bands like Cage The Elephant who plays shows with pure and raw energy, and they proved it once again during their Chicago gig at the Aragon Ballroom, a small venue for a band who plays arenas […]
Sara Finkle @ Andy’s Bar – Denton, TX (support:Vaughn Faison)
On a brisk December evening, I made my way to Andy’s Bar in anticipation for Denton native, Sara Finkle’s EP release party. When I arrived, the bar was borderline empty, excluding the opener, Vaughn Faison, who was setting up and the few staff members for that evening. Taking a seat at one of the standing […]
Turnover @ Majestic Theatre – Detroit, MI (Support: Men I Trust)
From dreamo (dreamy emo) to surf rock, the members of Turnover have rebranded themselves into an outfit with bouncy bass lines and jazzy undertones. It seems as though Turnover have been reinventing themselves since their 2015 release, Peripheral Vision, a lyrically honest and twinkly full length. Celebrating their crossover into a genre with just as much honesty, […]
Dreamers @ El Rey Theatre – Los Angeles, CA
The infectious alt-pop trio, Dreamers, closed out their headlining tour in the heart of Los Angeles at the El Rey Theatre on Friday, December 6th. The bill for the night was packed with talent, with support from the two alternative up-and-comers, American Teeth and Arrested Youth. As soon as I arrived I could feel the […]
Mountebank @ Dan’s SilverLeaf – Denton, TX (Support: AlexAlco, Samus David Jr. & Doma Kid)
Mountebank had quite a rough start to the month of December, during their Fall 2019 tour. Originally, their Denton show on December 1 was arranged to be played at Backyard on the Bell. But the venue closed four days before they were set to arrive in town. Thankfully, they were able to tag onto a […]
Bad Bunny @ Houston Toyota Center – Houston, TX
Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, also known as Bad Bunny (as well as El Conejo Malo) brought his sold out X100PRE Tour to Houston and wow was it an incredible show. The reggaetón artist came on stage wearing all pink and a black face mask, along with several dancers who trailed behind him, the entire venue […]
Cautious Clay @ The Showbox – Seattle, WA (Support: Remi Wolf)
I appreciate when a show can lend me to a new experience. Across his discography, Cautious Clay shows us his journey through love and the process of finding what we deserve. Walking into the show in Seattle I knew that I was in for a night of soothing R&B/Pop, a bit of crowd swaying and […]
Illenium @ WaMu Theatre – Seattle,WA
Two sold out shows within 3 days in Seattle’s largest venue, WaMu Theater. Need I say more? Being able to attend this show was more than a privilege. This was by far the most people I’d seen pack this theatre with a 7,200 person capacity. I’d seen Illenium once before at the same venue about […]
