White Reaper
From Shoegaze to Hard Rock: A Great Wednesday Night at August Hall with Taipei Houston, Narrow Head, and White Reaper

Last Wednesday, the 22nd of February, I arrived at August Hall for the White Reaper show, with Taipei Houston and Narrow Head opening. This was my first time attending a show as a member of KALX and I wanted to do my due diligence, so I showed up almost an hour early which in retrospect was probably overkill. I had just recently signed up to cover this show, so I prepared myself by listening to a couple of the top songs from each band that was going to perform. I was not disappointed.

NoSo at the Rickshaw.
Show Review: NoSo, Squirrel Flower, and Maria BC @ Rickshaw Stop on 2/23
Posted on 2/24/2023

NoSo, Squirrel Flower, and Maria BC put on a bone-chilling and ethereal performance that could only be described as a haunting, warm musical experience where the audience more closely resembled swaying kelp than the typical moshing and frantic imagery associated with indie pop or rock concerts.
