This Sunday, August 31st, at 7 pm, W Happenings and Transmission Events will be partnering up to present Living Room Live.

I cool combination of music, art, synthesizers, props, dreamy lyrics, and more, they’re sure to knock your surreal socks off.

Wildcat Apollo Presents: KC Zombie
Fresh off the road from 2014’s Vans Warped Tour after winning Best Rock Song for The John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Wildcat Apollo certainly has a promising future ahead of them. Members Alex Margolin, Cat Tassini, and brothers Aaron and Taylor Eichensee made their way to Austin, Texas in 2013 to record their debut, self-titled album, which was released in October of last year. The band relocated permanently to the city in early 2014. “KC Zombie” is a wonderful mix of dreamy, psychedelic-pop infused with luscious spanning scenes of vintage models and decor. What starts as a glimpse into a fantasy world between four walls spirals into a horrific nightmare, all…
JUAN WAUTERS talks SXSW, The Beatles, Selfies, and More
Going into this interview, I knew nothing about Juan Wauters. When I asked my brothers about him, they told me about The Beets and played some of his music, and it was great. When I walked into Red 7 for his show, he had an American flag, a banner, and a luchador behind him. I had no idea what I was about to see. What I did see was pure gold. I was lucky enough to score an interview with Juan Wauters. Let me just tell you, he is an awesome guy! ANON: How are you liking SXSW so far? Juan Wauters: We just rolled in. We haven’t been…

Fun Fun Fun Fest, Y’all
For those of you who don’t know what Fun Fun Fun Fest is, it’s basically just a regular ol’ music festival. But, for those of you who know what it is or have been to it, you’d know that it’s one of the craziest and funnest (hence the name) festivals Texas has to offer. It takes place in Austin, which is a great excuse for a road trip to Austin because it is one hell of an awesome city. At the fest, there are multiple stages, each with various genres of music, so it literally is a festival for any and everyone. In addition to that, there’s wresting, BMX, skateboarders,…
ANON Does 4th of July
On Thursday morning, the anniversary of our country’s independence and what-not, the ANON crew here in College Station packed up and headed down the road to “that other town” in Texas. Austin, ya know… Where there is actually something to do aside from venturing over to Northgate or going to the movies for the twentieth time (I have seriously lost count). We were in search of the great 4th of July adventure, complete with a fireworks show that would probably cut deep into the city’s budget. Well, we didn’t get our amazing, cathartic display of gunpowder, but we did get a great deal on sparklers, black cats, and roman candles,…
SXSW 2013: A Place To Start
It’s that time of the year again. While some venture to the Gulf to frolic half-naked in front of thousands of people in search of that week long buzz, looking to make a couple of bad decisions that might put you in a Girls Gone Wild video, I will be at SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas, a week long adventure for music lovers like myself. Here is a short list of artists I am excited to see next week amongst the chaos and the half dazed nightly walks in the live music capital of the world. Suuns Eureka the Butcher Foxygen AbdeCaf Shlohmo BADBADNOTGOOD Widowspeak AM &…
