It was 10 years ago when the Strokes delivered a memorable performance at the South by Southwest music festival at the intimate Iron Cactus venue. After a decade-long hiatus, the band made a triumphant return to the annual music event on Thursday and held a free concert at the Auditorium Shores location, with the stunning Austin skyline as the backdrop.
The band made their entrance on stage to the tune of “We Will Rock You,” but kicked off the proceedings with the opening track from Room on Fire, “What Ever Happened?” Lead singer Julian Casablancas, gripping the microphone in his trademark double-handed stranglehold, crooned, “I want to be forgotten, and I don’t want to be reminded.” It seemed like he wanted to express his genuine emotions through the song’s famous lyrics, and the audience went wild, with some even pushing against the fences just to catch a glimpse of their revered band. The vast arena deviated from the typical SXSW yearly traditions but quickly filled up as the Strokes sought to find their rhythm, showcasing the influence of indie bands on the masses.
Casablancas, dressed in a black leather jacket, wearing a calculator watch and nighttime eyewear, … ...Read the rest.

Throughout history, music has consistently held the power to influence society. During pivotal moments in history, it transcended mere rhythm, beat, and melody, assuming a deeper, often mystical role in connecting people. This transformative nature of music was particularly evident during the 1960s, when artists like Bob Dylan became more than just musicians crafting songs.
They emerged as social activists, using their music to shape public opinion and give voice to the thoughts and worldview of an entire generation. When I learned about the Martin Luther King Jr. Gospel Concert held in Newington recently, I couldn’t help but contemplate the inherent transformative power of music The Healing Power of Music - Healing Power of Music In the heart of New York City, amidst the hustle and bustle of Broadway's theatrics and the echoes of its orchestras, lies a story that tugs at the strings of the soul.

If you’re in your thirties, it’s likely that you have a fondness for 90’s music. The 1990s were a decade dominated by pure pop and R&B music, with artists like MC Hammer, Boys II Men, Paula Abdul, and Britney Spears thriving. Not everyone may be a fan of that era, but whether you like it or not, 90’s music might soon make a comeback on your local radio stations.
The first three years of the final decade of the 20th century belonged to Bryan Adams, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Paula Abdul, and Vanessa Williams, all of whom possessed and utilized a distinctly adult-sounding voice in their music, setting them apart from the pop music of the late 80s. However, amidst that, more diverse sounds like Vanilla Ice and Kris Kross also found their place and received significant airplay on radio stations during that time.
By the end of the first quarter of the 1990s, a new phenomenon emerged that instantly captivated the music scene. A smooth-voiced group of four musicians called Boys II Men gained major recognition when their song “End Of The Road” was featured on the soundtrack of the Eddie Murphy film Boomerang.
