Pissed Jeans' gutter-scraped amalgamation of sludge, punk, noise, and bracing wit make the band-Korvette, Brad Fry (guitar), Randy Huth (bass) and Sean McGuinness (drums)-a release valve for a world where absurdity seems in a constant battle trying to outdo itself. Why Love Now picks at the bursting seams that are barely holding 21st-century life together. Take the grinding rave-up "The Bar Is Low," which, according to Korvette, is "about how every guy seems to be revealing themselves as a shithead.
This weekend, we have a culture-filled lineup of things for you to eat, do, buy, and see. From art galleries to an Indian festival, San Antonio has a lot to offer. Best of all--everything on this list is free.
Well, it's finally here. The South by Southwest Festival is officially in full swing. Already, we're seeing tons of San Antonio representation in Austin (shout out to the folks at Choose SA for SATX @ SXSW), and KRTU Indie's presence is just about to get started...
The magic of South by Southwest has a lot to do with the absolute chaos that descends upon Austin. There's so much to do, see, learn, hear...how can you pick? If you're headed up 1-35 this week but you don't know which shows to go to, check out our SXSW daily highlights. And, good news, most of these shows are either free or under $10--so, less than the cost of driving up to Austin.
One of my jobs as the Indie Overnight Music Director is to submit new music we like to CMJ, a college music journal that works similarly to Billboard Hot 100, but isn't total rubbish.
Anyways, they have not been doing their job lately, and many promoters and labels in the music world are baffled. Their essential duty is to display the top 200 albums in college radio. However, for the past month they haven't displayed a single chart. Why are promoters baffled? Because they simply can't figure out which albums in college radio are getting spins.
Surprised it's the weekend already? Didn't make any plans yet? As always, KRTU Indie Overnight has you covered.
On March 14, KRTU is bringing some of the best of the San Antonio indie scene to a downtown Austin rooftop. This free showcase will feature seven bands old and new, representing the full range of our indie scene and a collision of San Antonio sound and Austin energy. If you’re in the city, stop by the Cheers Rooftop Bar from 7:00 PM - 2:00 AM. But if you’ll be joining us from the 210, just turn your dial to our live broadcast on 91.7 FM, join us online at krtuindie.org, or download the new KRTU app!
To tide you over before the big night, check out the lineup and full details here.
New Music Monday is here to provide you streaming access to new music on our radar. Check it out here!
A personal vendetta against 99.5 KISS has taken the nation and Facebook sphere by storm. In what has been variously called both heroic and whiny, local music figures have taken it upon themselves to bemoan the injustice of a radio station adhering to their FCC-approved format.
