Musician Robert DeLong swings by Studio 1A at KUTX for an intimate, live performance.

DeLong, a Washington native, has a unique sound that sets him apart in the electronic music world.

As a kid, DeLong took interest in programming, drums and all things sci-fi, greatly influencing his music style.

While studying music at Azusa Pacific University, DeLong’s creativity was awaken while playing in a local indie band and discovering electronic elements along the way.

DeLong performed a few songs from his new album- Jealousy, Long Way Down, Possessed, and Don’t Wait Up.

Robert DeLong is well-known for his high energy performances.

DeLong performed at the Parish on February 17th and 18th to a sold out crowd both nights.

DeLong has played in Austin’s South by South West since 2012.

Drums, pads, joysticks and a Wii controller are just a few instruments included in DeLong’s live sets.

DeLong’s new album, In the Cards, is full of synth and genuine lyrics.

The intimate setting allowed DeLong to enrapture the crowd and grab attendees’ attention with creative synth and percussion waves. DeLong exudes talent of a one-man band, climbing the charts with his high-energy shows and unique style. In 2012 he grabbed the public’s attention with the release of his first full-length album “Just Movement” and his hit single “Global Concepts.” In Studio 1A, DeLong performed four songs from his newest album “In the Cards,” including “Long Way Down,” a song popular on local radio stations.

As the week comes to a close and students’ brains are on cruise control, there’s no better way to get pumped for the weekend than attending a personal performance around the corner from your lecture hall (or if you missed it, streaming DeLong’s album from Spotify). Ah, the beauty of living in Austin.
