ALBUM ‘Tell Me That It’s Over’ (2022) Wallows Best Song: “Marvelous” Worst Song: “Hurts Me” Underrated Hit: “Guitar Romantic Search Adventure” Overall: A standout album from Wallows, “Tell Me That It’s Over” ranks the lowest on streaming for the indie-rock band. The album follows a similar sound to the others by this band, utilizing similar guitars and drums, while also having an interesting effect on vocals to make them sound almost fuzzy. Although the songs are easy to listen to and fun to have playing in the background, some fail to stand out against other songs of the same genre…

Time and date don’t matter: there is always a concert happening somewhere in Corpus. The city boasts a variety of small, intimate venues that provide the perfect outlet for live music and similar crowd-gathering performances. The latest venue in this long line of spaces is The Artisan by GST, or as it’s more commonly known, The Artisan. Located at 218 North Chaparral Street, one block away from Executive Surf Club, the venue consists of a small alley with a stage, complete with trusses. My first time going to The Artisan was on March 21, where I saw numerous Coastal Bend…

Fans of K-Pop from around the Coastal Bend gathered at Emerald Beach Hotel for “Euphoria: A K-Pop Exhibition” hosted by KP Vibes Entertainment in collaboration with the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures and Education. The exhibition featured two rounds of dance plays, a lion dance performance, a performance by the Corpus Christi Taiko Club, and finally, a dance competition. Following those exhibitions, attendees enjoyed a concert featuring performances by Ted Park, Alan Z, and LUC ID. “As a Korean-American, it’s very inspiring and motivating to see Korean music and entertainment being enjoyed worldwide, and being produced in such high…

Spring break gave me the opportunity to do a lot of things. I had the chance to clean my room, to work on my music, and most importantly of all, get out there and have fun. One of the most important forms of fun to me and my music-riddled brain would be going to see some local live music. Now that I had some time off, I was able to see some shows, and boy did I go see some! During the break, I went to see two concerts, meaning I got to see a whopping six sets altogether. Now…

Anime Corpus Christi returned for their third consecutive year the weekend of Feb. 7-9.

Upon entering visitors were greeted with a dedicated booth of staff members welcoming you in, handing out passes and pamphlets with information for special guests, events and more.

Every time I’ve been involved in musical theater, it’s been as one of two things: as an actor or as a musician. The boundaries between these aspects of a production have always been defined. At Aurora Arts Theatre for instance, the band has a designated spot for performing while the cast has practically the entire building at its disposal. For one night though, I had to blur the lines. A singular “West Side Story” performance wherein I, one of the actors, traded in my costumes for a set of drumsticks and performed alongside the musicians as a drummer to a…

There are few three-word titles as instantly recognizable as “West Side Story.” They conjure images of gang warfare, young love, and well-choreographed dance numbers. They conjure sounds of American jazz, mixed with a grab bag of famous Latin music styles. After my time rehearsing for this production, I’ll also conjure thoughts of long nights spent doing the thing I love most: watching a show come together, and being a part of it as well. Why is that? Well, let’s go back to the start. November of 2024, to be exact. Now that “A Christmas Story: the Musical” has begun performing,…

By the time this article publishes, I will have already performed on the Harbor Playhouse stage. Getting to this stage was a dance with my friends and a fight with myself. I walked into Harbor Playhouse on a sunny September afternoon with two things in mind: the thought that I was out of my element auditioning for “A Christmas Carol,” but the conviction to still give it my all. My afternoon was spent watching many people give stellar performances, meanwhile I stayed worried about my chances about making it in the cast after all. We were told that the cast…
