Words by: Xochitl Hansen

Despite the inclement weather during day one of South By So What this year, Radio City played a set meant for Madison Square Garden. Hailing from the live music capital of the world Austin, Texas Radio City is already the band you can’t and won’t forget!

Wasting no time Radio City went straight into playing their well known single ‘Minor Setback For A Major Comeback’, getting the crowd moving. Not even finishing their first song Radio City has already drew in a large crowd, which is quite impressive given the band started in 2014! There was a portion of the show where the vocalist began to sing without any instrumental backup and after a few moments the rest of the band, including the drummer-who I must commend on a wonderful job balancing on his drum throne and floor tom- placed them self higher on the stage and all sung with the obvious passion that brought them to where they are today.

Radio City has a five man set up consisting of Vocalist Chris Graham, Guitarist Chris Winnie, Guitarist Rodney Bokman, and powerhouse brother duo with Kit Colyer as the bassist and Luke Colyer on drums. Currently, Radio City is part of B-side Management who is an Austin, Texas based management company run by kind music industry veterans Kristen Baker and Natalie Campbell. In Correlation Radio City has stated via social media –links below- that they will be releasing a debut EP called ‘ The Greatest Game Ever Played’ under B-side Management in early 2015.
