It was surreal to see hey, nothing play such an intimate show, considering how far they've come in their career.

Any night at Variety Playhouse is going to be a 50/50 chance that they’ll have a photo pit. Unfortunately for me and the other seven photographers covering American Football’s fourth self-titled LP show, there was no pit in sight. It was clear from the moment I got there, there was no way I would be getting to the front. Or so I thought. As soon as the band trickled onto stage, warming the crowd up with “Man Overboard,” the entire crowd was entranced. As I tried to make my wa

This year marked Idobi’s third Summer School whose lineup featured: Honey Revenge, Games We Play, Winona Fighter, South Arcade and Chase Petra.

hallpass kicked off this year’s summer break celebrating the release of their new album at Aisle 5 for all of their hometown fans, bringing Athens to Atlanta.

PinkPantheress’s fans were giddy with anticipation, dressed in their best Y2K and singing her most viral hooks as they entered her sold out performance. And perform she did—she and her dancers put on a dazzling performance with a screen as their backdrop, transporting them from an airplane to a house to a club all in the span of

If you’ve never seen someone scream into the hollow of an acoustic guitar mid-song, then you clearly weren’t at Friko’s sold out show celebrating the release of their newest album, Something Worth Waiting For.

New York rapper Lexa Gates was in and out of Hell at The Masquerade last week. The show started less than an hour after doors, and Gates wasted no time coming onto the stage after Vayda’s short-and-sweet opening set. She wrapped things up by 9:30 p.m., sprinting her way through a 16-song setlist. Her few words to the audience were to express gratitude for them and love for Atlanta.

Ahead of their North American tour that kicked off earlier this month in Milwaukee and goes through until next month with Sharp Pins, Snail Mail, the solo project of Lindsey Erin Jordan, released her third album, Ricochet.

Cut Worms stopped by Atlanta at the perfect time on their Transmitter tour. It was a sleepy Monday night, 4/20 no less, and the heat is beginning to descend on Georgia this time of year.

The year was 2024. Just as everyone was wrapping up their year-end lists, Wallice released her debut album, The Jester: her most well-conceived, creatively thought-out project yet. Fast forward a year and a half, Wallice has hung up the red clown nose and just completed touring the US and Canada, performing songs from her currently untitled sophomore album rolling out later this year.

Lunar Vacation (Photo: Nancy Gutierrez) WREK 91.1 honored its long-held tradition of showcasing a diverse range of musicians that—as their slogan would suggest, you don’t hear on the radio. In their annual WREKTACULAR Music Festival, a student-led event, a thoughtful curation of up-and-coming bands from all over the country came together to put on an unbelievable show of eclectic sound, this year at Variety Playhouse. With 8-highly acclaimed bands, including Atlanta’s own Lun

Alice Phoebe Lou’s newest record, Oblivion , is a solitary one. Aside from being written, performed and produced by herself, it’s very spare compared to her other recent albums, made up of lulling acoustic songs about the curves of love, loss, and self-acceptance as they appear through her eyes. Accordingly, she came to Atlanta on her Oblivion tour to perform these songs alone in what she called “their original forms.” Alice Phoebe Lou (Photo: Mary Beth Bryan) John Andrews

Interview by Nancy Gutierrez Photos by Sam Kapoor Ahead of their new album Why The Light's Flicker, out June 12, Telescreens stopped in Atlanta for the first time. Fortunately enough, Kapoorhouse correspondent Nancy spoke with the New York City rockers before their set at Smith's Olde Bar over a game of pool talking origins, bonding on tour, brisket burritos from Buc-ee's and collaborating with Kareem Rahma of Subway Takes / fellow NYC band Tiny Gun. Telescreens consists of J

From befriending polarizing pop icon Lily Allen to appearing in hip chia pet print ads, Becca Harvey hasn't been afraid to put herself at front and center. Following the first anniversary of her album Sweetness last month, indie sweetheart Becca Harvey returned home to Atlanta supportin

(Photo: Hannah Claire Smith) Billie Marten has long been praised for the vulnerability and honesty she brings to her songwriting, and the same can be said of the way she performs. Her stripped-back set at Terminal West—just her voice and guitar—drew the audience in, each song pulling them closer into her world. (Photo: Hannah Claire Smith) Though entirely acoustic, the performance never once felt lacking. The warm clarity of Marten’s voice, paired with her intricate guitar wo

Carmen Perry (Photo: Sam Kapoor) Over the last 10 years, Remember Sports have been building a loyal fanbase, gathering some acclaim and success while mostly staying under the radar. After completing their UK run a little while ago, Remember Sports are currently on tour across the US with still a ways to go but last week they made their stop in Atlanta performing fan-favorites and songs from The Refrigerator for an eager crowd.

Nate Ruess of The Format (Photo: Hannah Claire Smith) On January 23rd, 2026, The Format released Boycott Heaven , their first album in two decades and last Saturday at the Eastern, they delivered a performance 20 years in the making. Anticipation and electricity pulsed through the crowd from the moment their first opener, Adult Mom, took the stage, building steadily as Ben Kweller closed out his set. And still, nothing could have prepared the audience for the energy and excit
