Jake Bugg: “Lightning Bolt” (Live In Studio 1A)

By: Taylor Wallace

Nottingham’s Jake Bugg exploded onto the UK music scene in 2011 after an invitation to perform on Glastonbury’s “BBC Introducing Stage” swiftly led to a contract with the illustrious Mercury Records (Elton John, the Killers, Bon Jovi). Since then, Bugg’s released four albums, toured the world, and worked with some of music’s most notable influencers including Mike D, Rick Ruben, and most recently, Dan Auerbach who Bugg had gotten to know when he opened for the Black Keys on a handful of shows during their 2014 tour. Auerbach produced Bugg’s latest album Hearts That Strain, which Bugg is currently supporting with an acoustic tour. He brought his stripped-down Britpop sound to our Studio 1A during his Austin stop, and in addition to a new tune, he treated our audience to a couple of Bugg staples. Cheers!

Check out the rest of the Studio 1A here.

-Taylor Wallace// host, Thursdays 8-11P & Saturdays 2-6P; Producer, Eklektikos with John Aielli

Gaye Su Akyol: “Anadolu Ejderi”

With one only month left until the year’s close, the need to recharge has become a higher priority worldwide. Even the most prolific creatives benefit from a period of recess, and when they come back, more often than not they’re better than ever.

Friend in Law: “Hold Out”

Way before Elon Musk or Joe Rogan moved here, I remember seeing a ton of bumper stickers and T-shirts with slogans like these: “Don’t L.A. my A.T.X.”, “Don’t Dallas My Austin”, and yes, even “Don’t Put Your Big ‘D’ in My Little ‘A’”. Now, I can’t recall the last time I saw one of those […]

on being an angel: “brit boy”

It’s a gloomy start to 2022’s final thirty-nine steps. And in embracing the wintertime blues, it’s the perfect time to indulge in a hazy, understated, all-lowercase aesthetic. Which, here in Austin, brings us to on being an angel. For the past three years this quartet sewn seeds of pop melodies across faint fields of fuzz […]

Big Bill: “Humanoids”

Longtime fans of Austin four-piece Big Bill no doubt still feel the effects of their unexpectedly refreshing hard left turn earlier this year. For those out of the loop, midway through 2022 Big Bill released Public Freakout Compilation, chronicling the group’s shift from their once-signature ’80s-esque angular post-punk into lackadaisical ’90s-style indie rock. But the […]

Dezron Douglas: “Atalaya”

Jazz has pretty much always been my favorite genre. But along the way, I’ve discovered that the biggest barrier of getting into newer stuff (for myself, personally) is a general lack of connection to any sort of jazz royalty. Fortunately, that’s not the case with Dezron Douglas. Once apprentice to the late legend Jackie McLean, […]

Trouble in the Streets: “Dreaming of Forever”

Phantogram. Big Freedia. George Clinton. For most folks, opening for any one of ’em would be the crowning achievement of their career. But to have shared the stage with all three, not to mention Bob Moses, Lettuce drummer/producer Adam Deitch, and other legends in under a decade? On Trouble in the Streets‘ list of milestones, […]
