Maisie Peters at Waterloo Records

The “Good Witch” herself, Maisie Peters, made an afternoon stop at local Austin record store Waterloo Records before heading to perform her headline set at Emo’s later tonight.

The event was part performance, part autograph signing for vinyls and CDs of her newest album, The Good Witch. Maisie and her guitar player Joel Peat played an intimate acoustic set of Body Better, Wendy, Want You Back and Lost the Breakup to dozens of cheering fans, encouraging them to sing along for the last song.

Maisie then signed albums (and anything else) for fans that had purchased The Good Witch, and expressed excitement for her Emo’s show later that night. Check out the photos below, by Gaby Deimeke.

Boys Like Girls at Stubb’s

It felt like early 2000’s again when the guitar riff’s came in at the end of the night at Stubb’s Amphitheater in Austin, Texas on Monday. Lead singer Martin Johnson of pop-punk band Boys Like Girls crooned the intro line to arguably one of the best songs of 2006, “The Great Escape.”

The band had been dark for nearly 12 years before making a comeback and announcing a new album earlier in May, to the thorough excitement of fans.

The show was a throwback to the angsty, screamy love songs, leather jackets and spikey hair, with fans crowdsurfing the upbeat songs and swaying to the slow ones.

Boys Like Girls played a great combination of their old hits–“Thunder,” “Hero/Heroine,” “Love Drunk,” and “Dance Hall Drug” and a few off their new album, including the first single, “Blood and Sugar.”

They ended the show playing, “The Great Escape,” first so that the crowd could record it, and then requesting that they play it again with no phones so fans could enjoy the song like it was 2006 again. The encore was a stripped down acoustic version of “Two Is Better Than One.” See the photos below, taken by Gaby Deimeke.

5SOS in Chicago

Last week at Huntington Bank Pavilion in downtown Chicago, 5 Seconds of Summer showed us a proper rock show. The band, comprised of four members–Calum Hood on bass, frontman Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford on guitar, and Ashton Irwin on drums–played to thousands of screaming fans all their hits: She Looks So Perfect, Amnesia, Teeth, and ending with their smash Youngblood.

With fun video interludes throughout the show, a giant inflatable pair of dice donning the names of fan favorite songs, and an encore where they came onto the stage wearing bathrobes, the show was nothing short of a hype and hilarious ride. Check out the photos below, by Gaby Deimeke.

Security Threat at Sabrina Carpenter Show

Sabrina Carpenter fans were asked to head home last night in Portland after a “credible security threat” was realized by local authorities, causing Sabrina to cancel her show just minutes before she was to go on stage.

The opening band Spill Tab had performed, and Sabrina had also performed a soundcheck for VIP ticketholders. Around 10pm, a staff member told fans that the show would not go on, and that the fans would receive refunds. “I am so sorry. I love you very much,” Sabrina tweeted to fans.

“Employees with the Crystal Ballroom called after they received a phone call from an anonymous person claiming they were going to blow up the venue,” says Nathan Sheppart of the Portland Police Bureau.

An AEG rep also said, “While the threat was not directed at Keller Auditorium specifically, Sabrina and event organizers agreed that out of an abundance of caution, the show be called off. Steps were taken to ensure that the audience exited the venue calmly, quickly, and safely.”
