Gran Moreno: “Aztlán” [Live In Studio 1A]
Apr 2900:03:53Tap to summarizeKUTX’s Artist of the Month Program is powered by Austin FC Raised in Mexico and newly transplanted to Austin, brothers Ricardo and Christian Rodríguez craft songs that feel like sonic mirages—equal parts groove, grit, and atmosphere. Their music lives at the intersection of distortion and introspection, where hypnotic riffs, heavy rhythms, and emotionally charged melodies build immersive landscapes that demand to be felt as much as heard. At the core of Gran Moreno is a deep commitment to storytelling through sound. Their upcoming album is a conceptual two-part release: Side A: El Sol and Side B: La Luna. Each side represents a different emotional plane—El Sol radiates urgency, energy, and clarity, while La Luna leans into shadow, mystery, and reflection. The first release, El Sol, captures the band at full intensity, delivering a vivid, unfiltered introduction to their evolving identity. On stage, Gran Moreno transforms their sound into a full-body experience. Their live shows blend sonic power with visual depth, pulling audiences into a shared trance that feels both personal and communal. As they continue to shape their universe with bold creativity and a fierce independent spirit, Gran Moreno isn’t just making music—they’re building a world of their own.

Apr 2700:02:15Tap to summarizeIt’s fuzzy, it’s doomy, and it’s relentless. The new single from Austin “doom-woppers” Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol keeps in stride with the group’s brand of metal-meets-melodic hard rock, giving you a two-and-a-half-minute riff bomb of what’s in store for their upcoming album Ca$h Grab, out later this year. The band is out headlining a packed six-week tour before returning to Austin for Big Dumb Fest IV on Saturday, May 30th at Mohawk. This year’s line-up includes American Sharks, Palefade, Transit Method, Waterworld, Buzz Electro, and Sodomy Cop.

Transcribe →Mean Jolene: “Private Plane”
Apr 2400:02:48Tap to summarizeThe new single from Ausitn power-pop outfit Mean Jolene has it all: beautifully harmonized gang vocals with a 1960’s shimmer, 90’s female rock guitar hooks and grit, and an earnest look at the double-edged sword of escapism: a necessity for self-preservation pocked with a compulsion towards innocent complacency. And there’s something about the energy of this song that gives it a mermaid-like quality; it’s hard to articulate, but easy to feel. Mean Jolene has a single release show for “Private Plane” tonight at the Hole In the Wall with Gummy Fang and Andrew Cashen & the Disciples of Creation.

The new, absolute banger “You Can Take My Spirit” sees the quartet extending the fazers into experimental territory, adding a little crunch to the beat, and maneuvering towards a sound you want to hear spilling out of the clubs on W 4th Street. Walk away from Slack and Outlook and give yourself a midday, full volume dance break. The post Club Coma: “You Can Take My Spirit” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
