Originally, the bands Kashikoi and Child’s Play only planned on having one jam session when they set up a gig together back in April 2014.
A lot of teenagers have their own cars. Even fewer purchased the car entirely on their own. And an even smaller number did so using money they saved in less than a year.
We’re just over halfway through the music portion of live-music heaven that is SXSW, and the talent here has been so consistent, none of the Daily Cardinal arts desk has slept in days. This is an exaggeration, but not as far off as you might think.
After the lull of an average school and work day, fans of all ages gathered together at the Majestic Theatre on a seemingly quiet Tuesday night for Cold War Kids, an alternative, indie-rock band that is most notable for their hit, “First.”
Lewis Del Mar was set to perform at the Pandora Stage in The Gatsby toward the end of the third day of SXSW Music Festival.
If you go on Google and search “gold music band,” you’ll find bands called GOLD, Gold, Band of Gold and several others if you scroll through the first couple pages. That’s why the Milwaukee-based band GGOOLLDD doubled every letter and made it all-caps.
With the music section of SXSW officially underway, musicians have already started bringing their A-game across the gorgeous city of Austin, Texas.
Immediately as the four-piece band stepped onto the stage and dove into their set, you wouldn’t realize that The Griswolds’ indie rock beats originated 9,000 miles away in Sydney, Australia. This did not stop them from kicking off the night like it was 1999, as lead vocalist Chris Whitehall said.
Wednesday night, I think I may have stepped into a 1980’s high school dance scene in a John Hughes movie.
South By Southwest officially begins this weekend down in Austin, Texas. With a stacked lineup of artists, keynote speakers, films and television shows, SXSW is gearing up to be an amazing festival. The Daily Cardinal Arts staff will be flying down to cover the event, and here’s what they are most looking forward to:
The Head and the Heart returned to Madison this week to perform at the Orpheum for two nights. On Tuesday, I watched as both the balcony seating and general admission enjoyed a continuous influx of people all waiting in anticipation to see the indie band take to the stage.
In the final installment of Live From the Nest for the fall semester, Madison rapper Rich Robbins graced The Daily Cardinal office with strong bars in what he said was one of the most intimate performances he’s ever done.
At this point, after going to three of their shows in the past five months, seeing Porches is a ritual: Brush your teeth, go to work, do laundry, go see Porches.
Australian artist-to-watch Julia Jacklin is a fresh voice in the music industry—so fresh that she has yet to release her first album.
Both of the headlining acts of Revelry made the most out of a rough situation. The afternoon rain had given Madison a cold, damp grey hangover from the early-morning Mifflin festivities, and the Orpheum was the least habit- able place for those seeking refuge.
The first thing I see outside the venue of Fetty Wap’s concert is a blur of teenagers. I’m convinced that the rate of underage drinking at this concert is as high as the percentage of white students that attend UW-Madison.
Fans of any sort of music in 2015 were greeted to one of the best years for music genres to date.
It doesn’t seem too difficult a feat anymore for DJs, dubstep artists or electronic dance music creators to get a crowd to move with their rhythms and beats. It takes something more than just beats to transport people somewhere else though, or to introduce qualities that inspire more than just losing yourself to the music. ODESZA did that Nov. 22 in the Orpheum Theater, and they did so without ever losing the dreaminess that also accompanies their music.
Elephant Revival: It sounds like one of the many commonly obscure band names you hear every day, but their performance was far from common. While the “revival” half of the band’s name most likely refers to the folk-revival they embody, it took on a new meaning at the Majestic Friday night as their jovial romp revived a room of souls, once thought to be long-dead under the pressures of jobs and midterms.
This weekend has so much to offer Madison in the form of arts and entertainment.
