Concert Review: The Killers
Funny story about this concert. Back in July of 2021 I saw that tickets were going on sale for The Killers tour in October. My friend and I jumped on these tickets, and when I went to go put it in my calendar I thought, “ha, they got the day of the week wrong.” Nope. I just can’t read and bought a concert ticket over a year in advance. So here we are now, in October of 2022, and I have finally seen The Killers again for the first time in six years.

Look, I had every intention of getting this drawing done before I saw Wallows perform back in May, but here we are in the middle of September. Oh, well! At least it’s done before I get to see them again next month at Austin City Limits!

Read moreFoals – Life is Yours Album Review
Yay, new Foals!! I know I’m being selfish because they released two full albums about six months apart from each other back in 2019, but I was ready for new music! They finally delivered, as a new three-piece, with Life Is Yours.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Richard Reed Parry
You know, now that Arcade Fire’s got a new record out and they’re making their way around the late night shows with performances, my obsession with Richard Reed Parry has resurfaced. In honor of that, here’s the drawing I did of him that he LIKED and commented on on Instagram. Swoon! Anyway, enjoy.
Read moreArcade Fire – We, Album Review
After what seems like a lifetime and a pandemic obsession, Arcade Fire has finally released a new album! With the excitement of a new record also came the disappointment in learning that Will Butler left the band after the recording of the album. I’m seriously super bummed about that. But anyway, here’s my thoughts on We.
Read moreFan Art Friday: My Chemical Romance
In a sick twist, Riot Fest and Life is Beautiful have ruined my life by making me choose between seeing My Chemical Romance and Arctic Monkeys on the same day in September. I was so desperate I threw out an Instagram poll! But, the people have spoken, and I ultimately agree with them, that I need to go back to Riot Fest to catch My Chemical Romance. Now, a big reason I agree with this is because I know for a fact a new Arctic Monkeys album is coming, and with that, likely a North American tour. So, I could catch them in the (hopefully) near future. And while My Chemical Romance have apparently been regrouped since 2017, I have heard hind nor hare that new music is coming from them. Why risk never seeing them if I don’t have to? Anyway, all of that for you to enjoy an old ass drawing I did of the band.
Read moreWallows – Tell Me That It’s Over Album Review
Even though I am going to see Wallows over the summer, I was a little nervous to hear their full-length sophomore effort. Their debut had really strong singles, but I was overall supremely disappointed by it, and I was kind of expecting the same thing here. Fear not! Tell Me That It’s Over was actually quite nice!
