Take a deeper dive into a short recap of all the performers from this event in the short article written by the platform creator. Returning with new acts, a new setup and heavier than ever, dreamsdocometrue*radio and Sound Revolution just wrapped up the second ever in-store event performances. Taken place this past Saturday, November 30th with nine Houston acts performing from 4pm - 9pm inside and outside the store. K. cross Follow the artist here Kicking the event off at the starting time was local underground rapper K. cross. An incredible writer showcased tracks from his catalog throughout the 20 min set such as “Needed”, “Runaway” & “Days get hard”. This was one of his first times playing these songs lives, and he got the crowd fired up for everyone.

Lead singer Seff Segura reached out to the store and wesley about playing of the next events, this was one of the first times someone has inquired about playing an event of ours. Hitting it hard with demos out now on SoundCloud as well as one of the biggest highlights of the nights, we had to include Eniightment on this. Segura ended their set by destroying his guitar and jumping in their recently announced previous drummers drum kit, installing a moment to remember in Sound Revolution history. All photos taken by wesley   (Instagram - @ wesleysnaped ) Scarlett Follow the band here Next up was Scarlett, another upcoming young band, and friends of Eniightment. The two groups have been rocking the stage for a while now so it was a no brainer to include them on this. Scarlett was the first band to play when the night fall hit, playing to about thirty other spectators. Following up the energy from their friends set before, Scarlett continued rocking out the night. All photos taken by wesley   (Instagram - @ wesleysnaped ) The Shroons Follow the band here The last band outside before the switch inside (and back outside) was a local act that has been around for just a short time but has proven time and time again how good they are. The Shroons had previously played our $5 punk rock show at The White Swan Live alongside Zegovia and a few others. Playing originals such as “The Hatred” & “Nerve”, plus covers, the group always has some tricks up their sleeves whether it’s playing the guitar with their teeth, behind the back, under the legs or even on top of each others shoulders. This band always finds a way to make jaws drop and you won’t want to miss out on the next chance you get to see a set. All photos taken by wesley   (Instagram - @ wesleysnaped ) Last time we held an event with performers they were all inside the record store but this time we wanted to try out some variety. The beginning portion of this event with the first 4 acts were outside, next 3 acts were inside and the final 2 acts were moved back outside. Matthew Collins Follow the artist here First up inside was solo artist Matthew Collins from Pasadena, Texas. The singer songwriter had recently released his first full length record “RAIN” as well as a new single “I Know The Feeling”. Matthew performed the record live for the first time at the Houston Saengerburnd with a full band including Max Diaz and Telebastards Lead guitarist, Ed. Joined by the star guitar player, Matthew played a stripped down set for the still but receiving crowd. All photos taken by wesley   (Instagram - @ wesleysnaped ) The Amazing Bozo Follow the artist here Bringing the honky-tonk to the record store, The Amazing Bozo put a snake in everyone’s boots. Playing originals solo such as “Crybaby”, Bozo tore up the stage with all of the cowboy hits. Stay up to date with him and keep an eye out for the next bozo show but his live band he calls the boys. All photos taken by wesley   (Instagram - @ wesleysnaped ) Rinas Follow the artist here Rinas was the last solo act who played inside alongside her drummer and guitarist. With her angelic voice she sung songs from her discography like “Diana” & “Big Mouth”. She is one of the greatest female artists in the city and is an example of why we will continue taking a step in including more women in our events. Be on the lookout for some possible new music coming from Rina next year as well as more live shows. All photos taken by wesley   (Instagram - @ wesleysnaped ) Jaid Follow the band here Following up the inside performances the last two acts began setting up back outside. Jaid is a band from Houston who is breaking all barriers of hard rock and shoegaze genres. The four piece had recently came off Pity Party (Girls Club) Texas leg of tour after playing shows all summer long including the big stage at Warehouse Live Midtown. Raising the energy back up through the roof, this was the first set of the night we saw two stepping from fans in the crowd. Jaid is definitely a band you won’t want to miss the next chance you have to see them live. All photos taken by wesley   (Instagram - @ wesleysnaped ) our eyes go blank tonight Follow the band here The 4 piece “Skramz” / Post Hardcore band, our eyes go blank tonight was one of the first acts inquired for this show and for obvious reasons. Their discography is already historical as well as the undeniable pure talent among this band. The band played all the hits for the second ever DDCT*R event here at Sound Revolution closing out the night with “MATCHA BOMB !!!+¡!!+”. See their next live show which should be soon annouced. All photos taken by wesley   (Instagram - @ wesleysnaped ) This has been just the second one of many more to come and stay (hopefully).

Written by Wes, October 31st, 2024 All pictures by wesley (@ wesleydoxedtheworld @ wesleysnaped ) The Australian Duo is just three shows in their third visit back to the states, but there is some change since the last time the group was here. They are here now touring the U.S.A. with new friends, new songs, & new stages. With 16 shows left of the 19 date run, these are show's you will not want to miss. Hockey Dad recently released their 4th record called Rebuild, Repeat this summer with singles Still Have Room, Base Camp & Safety Pin. "Seething", "Wreck & Ruin" were also songs from the album that were played alongside previous material from all projects. This was my first time finally catching Hockey Dad live after missing out on both chances to see the band in Texas. I was super excited when given the opportunity by Last Concert Café to handle media coverage on this stop ( see full gallery ). In 2022 the group went on a 32 date amphitheater / arena tour with Third Eyed Blind & Taking Back Sunday. Earlier this year was their first time back to the country but this time headlining selective dates with Mind's Eye. The band ran through a dozen plus songs in front of the Houston crowd including 2020's Brain Candy single "Good Eye" and a deeper cut "Reno". Singer, Zach Stephenson, mentioned to the crowd that track (Reno) was previously requested in the city by a fan all the way in 2022. From sophomore record, Blend Inn. Referred to as William (Fleming) song "Sweet Release" was a highlight of the night for many in the audience. The Iconic start of "Join The Club" had the audience moving their heads just within seconds This was a shared feeling with the track "Babes" off of their debut project, Dreamin'. The band recently just announced a four date club run back in Australia in celebrating 10 years of the EP. Now this show wasn't just the funny, talented and wonderful Hockey Dad but also the great Remo Drive . Another duo straight from Minnesota Consisting of Erik & Stephen Paulson. The brothers brought down another two friends to assist on drums and guitar / keys. The first time I heard of Remo Drive was in 2018 when I was a sophomore in High School. With only one record at the time at with what will soon be a cult classic song "Yer Killin' Me" & others such as "Art School". Last night they played a track they said was one they haven't been playing as often from that record called "Crash Test Rating". As soon as the song kicked in it took me back to that school desk in the craziest way possible, listening to these tracks with "Strawberita" being the main one I had on my playlist back in those years. It has been 7 years since Remo Drive emerged with that debut record "Greatest Hits" and again, much has changed. The Duo have put out a deluxe edition of their recent 2023 record "Mercy" with additions of songs reimagined. New versions of tracks on the record consist of contributions from Field Medic, Boyish, Caleb Lee Hutchinson, & wilt. Their live set consisted a good mix of all that the brothers have put out over the years. The bright neon "Mercy" sign, reigning behind the band provided a warm welcome to the experience of what this band has been up to. Last but not least, Weakened Friends . I don't have much to say besides how tight of a band they are. I have never heard of them but their vocalist Sonia Sturino has really great voice as well of talent with the guitar. The trio is filled by Annie Hoffman ripping the Bass and Adam Hand banging the drums. I highly suggest checking them out as well as Remo Drive and Hockey Dad for those who have not heard of these three acts. If you also have time to catch a show, check if they are coming to a town near you. Get those tickets and don't look back, you wont want to miss this chapter of history happening in front of your eyes. dreamsdocometrueradio.com is an online music platform and publication created by Charles "Wesley" Bales.

Article written and published by Charles "Wesley" on Saturday, October 12th. Photo taken by (@lexs_fotography) on Instagram Formed in Houston, Los Kalaveras is a newer punk band that embraces everything around them. Running some of the best D.I.Y gigs in the city in the past few years I was eager to reach out to them to answer a few questions for this article. I first saw the band back in May the day before Cinco De Mayo when the played a free show in a backyard that was home to a friend of mine. I worked at H-E-B for over 3 years where I met Max who was one of the roommates of three in this house. The previous year (2023), In July I threw a backyard show there not expecting it have a cannon effect of bookings at the house. Yet after that one and a NYE party, my friends in Mask Tape & A Distraction, the newer act, Los Kalaveras put on an insane backyard show with free pizza. Shook by their energy, spirit and love for the music, I was drawn to them. I met Eddie for the first time a few hours before hand while setting up some for the show that night. A great soul that is always helping others while giving not only a good time but a great performance. Relive the night from this recording of the full live set from the demo release house show! The band has released their first demo tape "Los Demos" earlier this year on May, 11th and it is now available to stream  on all platforms. Read below for the full band interview from Eddie, Marlon, Jason & Leo. When was the first time you guys settled on the name Los Kalaveras?  E: “The first time I came up with the name Los Kalaveras was from my great grandpa in Mexico, I went to visit him in  2018, at the time I was dreaming of becoming an MMA fighter, I told my grandpa about my dream, that’s when he told me he was a boxer back in the day, and his name was Calavera, he then said I can have his name for my fights, unfortunately I tore my ACL and had to stop fighting, I want to keep the name somehow and one day I came up with the name Los Kalaveras, established the band out in Cali with my boy Elvis, when I moved out to Houston, I asked Jason, Leo and Marlon to join the band!” What does the band mean to each individually?  E: “The band means the world to me, getting the chance to play on stage with my brothers to a crowd of 100, 20, or even 1 person, it doesn’t matter, I’m with my boys, we’re expressing ourselves the only way we know how, without them I don’t know where I’d be or what I’d be doing, my advice to the scene, is to find your tribe, your brothers/ sisters and build a good friendship with them, get on the same page and humble yourselves, don’t let egos get in the way of creativity, find the message that you want to express.” L: “This band means a lot to me because I got to meet Jason and Eddie. One of the coolest people I’ve ever met and I consider them family at this point. I’ve been knowing Marlon before, since we work at the same place but we grew closer ever since he joined our band as our Bassist. I also consider him family too. Not only that, but I’m honored to be playing alongside with them and for me to meet new people along the way. I’m always looking forward to play shows whenever we can and discovering new places as well. It’s such a great privilege and opportunity for me.” What is the best D.I.Y show you guys have been a part of?  J: The best show we were apart of, was definitely the show we through at the abandoned Italian restaurant / church! We went bare moose knuckles with it. It doesn't get more DIY than renting out a generator with the last bit of money each of us had to put this show together. It started with an idea I had while strolling through the neighborhood I noticed the back door was open, it peaked my curiosity, so just like any other ambitious abandoned place explorer I decided to check it out, to my surprise it was huge!! I instantly knew this is the next place I wanted to throw a show at! Left & Right photo by (@lexs_fotography), Middle photo taken by (@cbass_zz) ( continued ) So I hit up the boys, we hit up our brothers and asked if they'd be down to play a show, and as risky as we all knew it was, the show went off without a hitch! We got there a bit early and started setting up in the church things were lookin good, to be honest I didn't know if much people were going to come, but sure enough crowds of people came, we had this place packed, it was hotter than satans ass in there!! But we made it work, it even got the attention of locals living in the area, whom also checked it out, and had never seen anything like this!! But the end of the night all bands had gotten to play, and we even let another band hop on last minute to play a song! Truly this is only the begging of the abandoned shows to be played, just keep and eye out and we'll have another ready before you know it!!”  What are some influences that everyone grew up with?  L: “Most of my influences while I was growing up back then, (band wise), is Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle and Mudvayne. Not only that I really like their style of music, those bands are one of the reasons why I wanted to start playing the drums because of the drummers from each band respectively. They’re amazing." Photo taken by (@lexs_fotography) What are some goals for the band this upcoming year? L: I’m really grateful for the position that I’m currently at. I get to meet great people along the road, I have a good relationship with not only just my band mates but having a good relationship with our brother bands out there too! And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Life’s going good so far for me and I hope to keep doing what I’m doing until I kick the bucket.  Any words for others trying to do more in the local music scene? E:  I leave you with this if by any chance your reading this future musicians, art is an expression of the soul, an extension of your soul, do not sell that, stick to what you love to make , and to what you want to make, don’t sell your music short for the quickest buck, the music should be the love and focus, the money may or may not come but live through the love of it, that’s just how I see it Photo taken by (@lexs_fotography) on Instagram The band will be on to make many great accomplishments just like they already have in the short time together. Catch the band performing live at the first ever STARDUST* ( now on sale ), and keep updated with them on social media here .
