When we arrive at the Parish on May 1, a fan is already waiting in the back alley. Night Riots doesn’t hit the stage to play a sold-out show opening for The Mowgli’s for another three hours, but she looks like she’s already been waiting a while.

From punk to hip-hop, Austin has something for every type of music fan on any given night. Where the show takes place is almost as important as the performance itself. A venue’s ambiance can make or break a live music experience. The ORANGE Music Staff encourages all live music enthusiasts to find the venue that best resonates with them.
