Houston’s Aaron Page is a rising star. The R&B artist recently released his debut EP Before I Go, a meditation on vulnerability and conversations that lead to life’s great romantic pivots, for better, worse, or just more confusing. He stopped by our tent backstage at ACL Fest to perform his viral hit “Lord Knows,” a […] The post Aaron Page: “Lord Knows” [Backstage at ACL Fest] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Lush melodies, decadent fashions, and a good hang to boot. L.A.’s Lucius is no stranger to the KUTX airwaves or Studio 1A, and we always get excited with antici….pation. And they delivered. Not only did they stop by to hypnotize us with a deeply lovely performance of “Mad Love,” a song from the group’s eponymously […] The post Lucius: “Mad Love” [Backstage at ACL Fest] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
We’re smack between ACL weekends, rolling out all kinds of nifty gifties for you from social media content to amazing performance photos to videos and free downloads of our backstage performances. Today, we take a look back at one of our favorites with an artist you can see live next week. Austin’s Luna Luna is […] The post Luna Luna: “Call Me Up” [Backstage at ACL Fest 2022] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
For the last five years, UK duo the Heavy Heavy have been dancing through our airwaves with their retro-inspired brand of indie rock, injecting modern hooks and riffs with harmonies that sound positively Woodstock. We played several songs from the duo’s 2024 album One of A Kind, and they stopped backstage at ACL Fest to […] The post The Heavy Heavy: “Happiness” [Backstage at ACL Fest] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
A.G. Schiano is Clover County, an Athens, Georgia-based project that was largely chiseled and polished on the road while touring with acts like Lord Huron and Shakey Graves. Going through your twenties is like encountering constant change with a seemingly endless number of metamorphoses as you really cement who you are and what you’re all […] The post Clover County: “Sweetest” [Backstage at ACL Fest] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Band plays SXSW, the right person catches their set, and the big ball starts rolling. And while that treasured dream has largely been lost to obscurity, merely existing in the whispered annals of Live Music Capitol lore, Austin’s the Animeros are smack in the throes of living it. Their blend of Colombian, Mexican, and West […] The post The Animeros: “Gózalo” [Backstage at ACL Fest] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
It’s Friday, I think five planets are still in retrograde, so let’s all take a breath and let out a big ol’ “GOT DANG!” And now let’s get to the real danged thing. Stacey McCann leads the Austin blues-funk group SOB & the Dangs (and the SOB is for StaceOnBass thank you very much!). McCann’s […] The post SOB & the Dangs: “I Don’t Mind” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
For ten years, London’s Warmduscher have been tantalizing audiences with their raucous brand of post-punk, weaving throbbing guitar melodies with elaborate stories about ridiculous run-ins with characters of all stripes. It’s like getting a dive bar soundtrack to the best stories you’ve heard from your favorite regular. Despite ten years and five albums under their […] The post Warmduscher: “Midnight Dipper” [Live In Studio 1A] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Kelly Willis has been a stalwart of Austin’s country and Americana scene for decades, so it’s no surprise to find her on Grey DeLisle’s new project: IT’S ALL HER FAULT: A TRIBUTE TO CINDY WALKER. For the compilation, Willis chose the 1955 tune “I Don’t Care,” written by Walker and Webb Pierce, that spent 12 […] The post Kelly Willis: “I Don’t Care” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Despite the name, Austin’s the Lonesome Heroes have been releasing music and playing shows for a whopping 21 years. To mark the occasion, they’re gifting their audience with a bit of their live faire with Live & Lonesome at the Purple Bee, a collection of songs recorded at the hybrid recording studio and live concert […] The post The Lonesome Heroes: “Sunshine Come” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
It’s been a minute since we checked-in with Austin surf-psych outfit Annabelle Chairlegs. And honestly, “Candy Apple Red,” is still living in my head rent-free five years later. Now the group (fronted by Lindsay Mackin) is back after a three-year hiatus, and what better way to come back than with an album produced by Ty […] The post Annabelle Chairlegs: “Ice Cream on the Beach” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Beyond being a musician, S.G. Goodman is an educator. Truly, how many of us knew about the old Appalachian tradition of planting by the moon? Using moon phases and their gravitational pull to determine what crops to plant when (beans, peas, and eggplant during the second quarter, if you were wondering). But the moon’s power […] The post S.G. Goodman: “I’m In Love” [Live In Studio 1A] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
“There ain’t no honky tonks in Philadelphia,” laments Jessica Pyrdsa AKA Datura. The latest single from the Lockhart-based artist’s upcoming album, Saint Cecilia, takes a pivot from her piano-driven, jazz-meets-art-pop sound for this equally cinematic, blues-leaden country hall slow dance that feels like a waltz in all but time signature. Here, her skills as a […] The post Datura: “Ain’t No Honky Tonks” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Austin native Elijah Delgado has been releasing his self-proclaimed indie rock lullabies since 2021. In that time, he’s performed with national acts like Sister Hazel and Dayglow and has appeared at Old Settler’s Music Fest and Utopiafest. And today, he’s got a HAAM Day set for your downtime lunchtime listening. “Hide + Seek” showcases Delgado’s continued progression […] The post Elijah Delgado: “Hide + Seek” [HAAM Day Re-Heat] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Austin’s Parker Woodland are back with potentially their rawest song yet, and certainly my favorite one to date. Standing firmly in their vintage pop-punk sound comes “Get Me to the Show,” a punchy tune packed with earwormy hooks and raw, female-led energy fueled by Erin Walters’s signature vocals pivoting between pop harmonies and Sleater-Kinney-like attitude […] The post Parker Woodland: “Get Me to the Show” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
It’s Weird Wednesday, and I aim to keep it that way. And what better to stay on theme than to revisit a recent favorite of mine from Studio 1A? Tear Dungeon is truly to be seen. Between the uniform of all-white street clothes paired with leather gimp masks and the perpetual question, “what will hit […] The post Tear Dungeon: “Kill For Health” [Live In Studio 1A] RE-RUN appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
All musical motifs of the Lone Star State converge in Austin’s West Texas Exiles. The quartet, made up of members hailing from El Paso, Amarillo, and Lubbock, draws inspiration from all squares of the Texas music quilt, from Willie to Buddy and everyone in between. Their debut full-length album 8000 Days came out last Friday, […] The post West Texas Exiles: “Division” (ft. Kelly Willis) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
Jacksonville, Florida’s Yuno is DIY-defined. The self-taught musician and producer has been fine-tuning his brand of indie-pop mixed with reggae, hip-hop and skate culture influences to boot for some time, and that perfect mix of luck and talent caught the eye of Shabazz Palace member and Sub Pop rep Ishmael Butler, and the rest is, […] The post Yuno: “Blest” [LIVE IN STUDIO 1A] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
After several amuse-bouches of singles, Austin’s Lola Tried are ready to let us feast. OG members Lauren Burton and Ray Garza are joined by newcomers Gianni Sarmiento and Austin Norman for the group’s third EP, out this Friday. Perfect for your workout (or rageout) playlist is “Hot Shot Barbie.” She’s got her foot on the […] The post Lola Tried: “Hot Shot Barbie” [PREMIERE] appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
No longer in her ingenue phase, Mexico’s Silvana Estrada has maintained her wunderkind rise. With her birdsong voice and her signature Venezuelan cuatro guitar as a vessel to carry her stories of love, grief, and growth. Ahead of her newly announced international tour and album, Vendrán Suaves Lluvias, out in October, Estrada’s released “Dime,” a deceptively […] The post Silvana Estrada: “Dime” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
