Last week, the SXSW storm rolled in, and KUTX was part of the rolling thunder over part of downtown. 16 artists took the Scholz Garten stage across four days, and one of the standouts was Cork, Ireland’s Cardinals. While the band tends to dance around calling themselves post-punk, they do set themselves apart from their […] The post Cardinals: “Unreal” (Live At Scholz Garten) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

If you've been paying attention to KUTX the last few years, you're aware that we have a number of podcasts. One of them is Song Confessional, an effort led by Walker Lukens and Zac Catanzaro where they collect anonymous, wild stories or “confessions” from people then have a musician write a song about the confession.

It’s #GivingTuesday and pretty much anyone who’s a non-profit is crawling out of the woodwork and trying to stir up some financial love. And of course as a community supported public radio, we could always use a bit of help. That said, the nice thing about tossing KUTX a couple bucks is that you’re also […] The post dan levine: “a-frame” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Hello friends! KUTX and KUT radio personality and podcaster, Laurie Gallardo is my guest for episode 1441! On Laurie's new podcast, "(SPF 1000) Vampire Sunscreen", guests  answer the question, "What is the darkness to you?" and that question leads to some pretty amazing answers. She's just released episode 8 with her guest John Doe (X). You can find "Vampire Sunscreen" wherever you stream your pods or find it HERE. We have a great conversation about what it takes to get "(SPF 1000) Vampire Sunscreen" made, exploring the darkness, dealing with imposter syndrome, self-loathing, breakdowns, meditation, what is "darkness", goth culture, what drives us to create, and much more. I had a great time catching up with Laurie. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!   Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you pod. If you feel so inclined.

Think we’re already finished talking about ACL Fest 2024? Don’t be a silly goose! Sure we’re quickly shifting gears to Halloween, Levitation Fest, Thanksgiving, and the Winter Holidays, but we do have one more piece of ACL awesomeness ahead of that Fall gauntlet. So let’s take a gander at Geese. Almost a decade removed from […] The post Geese: “Space Race” (KUTX Pop-Up at ACL Fest) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

It’s always super cool to see our KUTX Artists of the Month get some additional hometown love out at ACL Fest. Off the top of our head, this year we saw Kalu & The Electric Joint, promqueen, Chief Cleopatra, and West 22nd added to the lineup. On top of those, we were stoked to see […] The post DAIISTAR: “Velvet Reality” (KUTX Pop-Up at ACL Fest) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

For a lot of major artists, ACL Fest is just another tour stop. For up-and-comers, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. But for those who overlap the brackets, the experience falls somewhere in between: somewhat routine, somewhat sentimental. And we’re guessing Chance Peña lands in that final category. Depending on your age demographic, chances are […] The post Chance Peña: “Blackbird” (KUTX Pop-Up at ACL Fest) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Another ACL is officially in the books, so we’re keeping those fest memories fresh by bringing y’all some more KUTX-clusive pop-up performances straight outta Zilker Park. And nothing says “Austin City Limits” quite like a band whose handle directly references their UT campus origins. Yep, our October 2024 Artist of the Month (powered by PNC […] The post West 22nd: “Road Trip” (KUTX Pop-Up at ACL Fest) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Between the big Texas sky, the sprawling space of Zilker Park, all the dust that gets kicked up across the festival grounds and cowboy hats abound, ACL Fest sure can feel a bit like a rodeo right here within the city limits. And heading back to the fest, Weekend Two of ACL 2024 certainly won’t […] The post flipturn: “Rodeo Clown” (KUTX Pop-Up at ACL Fest) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

The second Friday of October is upon us, and Austin City Limits Music Fest is about to be in full effect once again. And in the interim that is this Thursday, we got a twofer for ya: a reflection on last weekend and a hint on what to expect for this next one. So although […] The post The Beaches: “Blame Brett” (KUTX Pop-Up at ACL Fest) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Ask anyone about their favorite ACL Fest performance and there’s no telling what answers you’ll get. But we’re willing to wager that if you ask anyone below the age of thirty, “did you catch Chap-“, there’s a good chance your interviewee will enthusiastically finish your question with, “Chappell Roan?! She was awesome!” Yeah, there’s no […] The post Chaparelle: “Bleeding Hearts” (KUTX Pop-Up at ACL Fest) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

When it comes to exposure for international acts here in Austin, you typically think of SXSW. But time and time again, ACL Fest has shown great global flavors, even if the artists in question are quartered stateside. A perfect example? Mon Rovîa.

Barely half of Texas voting age population turned out for the 2020 presidential election. And the story is worse for young voters. We wondered, what can we do about that? So the Texas Standard joined forces with our home music station, KUTX, and the UT Austin student station, KVRX, for what we called a poll […] The post Texas Extra: The Poll Party appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Here at Song of the Day, we’ve observed a resurgence of classic-style soul in recent years, and reported plenty on it too.

We’ll level with y’all. Between Song of the Day and Austin Music Minute, we here at KUTX try our very best to get everybody caught up on new releases and local shows. But, the human beings in a bustling musical metropolis that we are, stuff does slip through the cracks. And especially for our out-of-state […] The post Daniel Nunnelee: “Do You?” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Progressive metal and drum n bass. Two high octane genres that we here at KUTX could be a lot better at curating. Just for today, though, we’re getting some local help from a whole new world of both styles.

Don’t you love those unexpected brushes with old chums during South By South West? Sure, for us native Austinites they feel less like chance encounters and more like the inevitable kismet of living in a metropolitan area as small and dense as ours. But there’s still nothing quite like finding an old friend return to […] The post Reyna Tropical: “Sauvecito” (KUTX Live at Scholz Garten) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

It’s well-known that we here at KUTX have a soft spot for Alejandro Escovedo – a love affair that’s lasted far longer than we’ve even been a station. So it’s our due diligence to let you know that Señor Escovedo does have a new record entitled Echo Dancing dropping this weekend. That said, we’re not […] The post James Mastro: “The Face of the Sun” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

The taste-ranging genre gastronomy of our latest Scholz Garten lineup alone made it one for the books. And that A.M. affair simply couldn’t have been complete without SPRINTS. Because…yeah, the pairing of a Dublin four-piece – garage grit, post-punk precociousness, and all – against a full KUTX crowd at one of Texas’ oldest venues was […] The post SPRINTS: “Literary Mind” (KUTX Live at Scholz Garten) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

We’re still recovering from the flood of foreign artists that turned our fair city (and Scholz Garten) into an international exhibition last week. And if that worldwide melting pot of genres is best embodied by any SXSW 2024 performer, multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Gallab definitely makes the short list. Born in London, Gallab spent a chunk of […] The post Sinkane: “How Sweet Is Your Love” (KUTX Live at Scholz Garten) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Shoutout to everyone who caught our Scholz Garten live series last week for SXSW, either in person or over the airwaves!

We’re not really squealing on ourselves when admitting that we here at KUTX love yacht rock. And given our ties to the university, it’s also no secret that we like to shine the spotlight on UT alum. So today we’re giving y’all the best of both. We’re talkin’ about singer-songwriter/guitarist Nick Teale, a former longhorn […] The post Nick Teale: “Half Genius” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

We here at KUTX have kept a pulse on the local scene long and close enough to realize that we’re essentially tracking the progression of individual talents in real time. And though we’re admittedly quick to stick up for twenty-somethings who’ve bottled lightning for their debut releases, frankly there are very few youngsters that genuinely […] The post The Peterson Brothers: “Family” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

After naming them as our July 2022 Artist of the Month, we here at KUTX have gotten an awful lot of opportunities to gush about the Austin synth-goth gargantua that is Urban Heat.

Last Fall when we shared our KUTX staff picks for Levitation Fest, I got a chance to gush about one of all-time favorite contemporary projects, Ghost Funk Orchestra.

One of the best parts of live concerts? Often you get to hear new tunes before they hit streaming.

Here at KUTX and Song of the Day, we try to be as dutiful as we can in providing both an accurate representation of the Austin Music Experience and great tunes.

Here at KUTX, we’ve never been shy about our love of Wild Child; hell I myself even played a show or two with ’em back in the day.

Since the release of their 2010 eponymous debut, whose tracks have racked up millions of streams, The Bright Light Social Hour has become a big part of Austin’s – and by extension – KUTX’s musical character.

Although his prevalence on our playlists isn't exactly what it used to be, longtime KUTX listeners know that historically our airwaves were all about Alejandro Escovedo.

If you’re a longtime lover of KUTX, then you know we couldn’t have made the trip of our first ten years without Lucinda Williams riding shotgun.

Now that COVID-19’s no longer deemed a public health emergency, the fog of the past three years has begun to dissipate, and memories of the “before times” don’t seem so distant now.

As much as us at KUTX sing the praises of native Austinites, we’d never dream of detracting from their adjoining contemporaries who are essentially a stone’s throw outside our city limits. Take for example Austin born-and-raised singer Paige Hill, who’s currently headquartered in Dallas. As part of her steady ascent to statewide stardom, Paige partakes […]

Us at KUTX have never felt a need to shy away from our unabashed love of multi-national-inspired psych; a typical playlist of ours will usually pepper in some Adrian Quesada, Khruangbin, or Golden Dawn Arkestra, so today we’ve got great news for anyone with similar tastes. It comes on behalf of Reno three-piece Whatitdo Archive […]

Prior to my career with KUTX, my main musical contributions were on trumpet as part of fifteen-piece’s hefty horn section. And speaking from personal experience, it’s incredibly liberating to spend time outside of a big group and redirect some focus towards solo songwriting. So based on his time playing bass with Minneapolis eleven-piece Black Market […]

If you weren’t already well aware, we here at KUTX love Walker Lukens; we shined our Artist of the Month spotlight on this perfectionist performer back in January 2015, right when Walker Lukens and (his backing band) The Side Arms released their Jim Eno-produced single “Every Night”, a tune that now totes more than two […]

Since our late great radio icon John Aielli passed away, KUTX’s airwaves have largely veered away from classical music. But some of the best things about classical music are its timeless universality, its enduring ability to be adapted, and its ripe potential for renewed relevance post-re-interpolation. That’s also is a big part of what drives […]

We had the pleasure of interviewing Louis Knight over Zoom video. New Mythology is the third album from Mercury Prize-nominated artist Nick Mulvey and his first in 5 years. Out today on Verve Forecast (Fiction Records in the UK), the record was recorded in Paris with renowned producer Renaud Letang (Manu Chao, Feist, Connan Mockasin) and is a stunning 13 track collection brimming with Nick's innate musicality and insatiable curiosity about the connection between humans and the planet we live on. The album was featured this morning on NPR's New Music Friday, with Robin Hilton saying It might be my favorite record of the week…almost like living room recordings that start very quiet but then they'll bloom in these beautiful ways." “The Gift” was also just featured as a Song of the Day on KUTX and Mulvey's interview with Variance Magazine ran yesterday.Journeys come in a myriad of forms. Nick Mulvey knows this, he's been on many since he released his sophomore album Wake Up Now. Be it a change in geographical scenery – a physical move of home from the UK to Ibiza, and back – to the sea-sawing wonder and vulnerability of the everyday human experience; in this case becoming a father and navigating the pandemic. Most pertinent though, when it comes to his powerful songwriting, has been his journey to compute the scope and scale of his feelings: an attempt to embody the personal all the way to the planetary – and grasp their true inseparability. Nick Mulvey has come a long way since the release of his critically acclaimed debut album First Mind in 2014. A musician, composer and producer, he has amassed a staggering 587 million streams globally, the equivalent of half a million albums sold and has completely sold out his first headline UK tour since before the pandemic, including his headline show at London's Koko.
