Driving down the pitch black street of Sagg Main with GPS not working at 9:30 p.m., we almost gave up on finding the weekly drum circle at Sagg Main Beach, called “Woodstock for rich people” by The New York Times. However, then we hit dozens of cars parked on the grass in no-parking zones. We followed theJumanji sounds [...]

This past July, a herd of music crazed fans piled into the New Braunfels river-side venue for two nights of Austin’s favorite band Ghostland Observatory.

My eyes [...]

I love a good concert that captures you so much you don’t realize that the sun is rising in the background - and that is exactly what moe. did. They surpassed their 4 am curfew by 2.5 hours. Did not see that one coming. And, the set actually got louder and more energetic as the [...]

Even while living in London, people would hear I was from Austin and automatically think three things: George Bush – Music - SXSW. I’d have to say I am very supportive of the latter two. That is why I counted down the days until Austin turns into hipster-ville and the trendiest cats [...]
