Two Door Cinema Club at Stubb's in Austin, TX – Loud Hailer Magazine

Two Door Cinema Club delivered an electrifying performance at Austin’s Stubb’s Amphitheater, captivating the audience with their infectious energy and dynamic indie rock sound.

Coming from Northern Ireland, Two Door Cinema Club brought the fans of Austin an amazing performance. The band has been making music together since the late 2000s. A few of their songs over the past decade have received commercial success due to being featured in various popular television shows such as The Vampire Diaries, Grey’s Anatomy, and Teen Wolf. Two Door Cinema Club is comprised of three members: Alex Trimble (vocals), Sam Halliday (guitar), and Kevin Baird (bass). Their last album Keep On Smiling was released in 2022, but since then they have released two new singles, “Sure Enough” (2023) and “Happy Customers” (2024). Their North American tour kicked off in February and they have already hit over twenty different cities. This leg of Two Door Cinema Club’s tour will end in Austin, but they will continue well into the Fall of 2024 for part two.

Opening for Two Door Cinema Club is the indie-rock band Day Wave. The Oakland, California-based band’s music is recorded solo by musician Jackson Phillips. Various musicians support him during live shows. He released their debut EP, Headcase, in 2015. And last year, he released two new singles “As You Are” and “Breakdown.” Day Wave’s dreamy set was truly beautiful as the Texas sun slowly set on the horizon. His emotionally charged performance and laid-back stage presence captivated the crowd. He played his originals such as “Something Here” and “Drag.” He closed his set by performing a cover of Interpol’s “PDA” which the crowd loved.

Despite the drizzly, dreary weather, Two Door Cinema Club took to the stage at about 8:15 pm. They completely rocked the audience with their first song of the night, “This Is The Life” from their 2010 album Tourist History. They played many more older songs as well, like “Handshake” from Beacon and “Are We Ready? (Wreck).” Mid-set, Trimble took a moment to thank everyone for coming out. He also informed the audience that the drummer, Cameron, who was playing was filling in for their regular touring drummer. He joked that the last thing Cameron wanted to do before the tour ended was perform a drum solo. Shyly, Cameron played a quick beat and seemingly laughed off the request.

The rain eventually came to a halt and left the air a lot more tolerable, considering Austin’s typically unbearable heat. Fans could finally dance without worrying about having a heat stroke, which was terrific because as Two Door Cinema Club came to the end of their setlist the beats of their songs began to pick up, “Undercover Martyn” being one of them. They closed their set with “What You Know.” As they played the first few chords, the crowd went crazy. The immensely diverse crowd really was something to see. All walks of life were present in the audience. This show served as a great reminder of the splendor of unity.

Austin activists hold anti-ICE protests following the death of Renee Good in Minneapolis

Austin activists hold anti-ICE protests following the death of Renee Good in Minneapolis

Chants of “shame” and “ICE out of Texas” rang through the street as Austin-area activists joined thousands across the nation in protesting the killing of Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot Wednesday by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis.

The protest was held in front of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security building in Pflugerville.

Good, 37, was shot in her SUV while attempting to drive away from several ICE officers who ordered her to exit her vehicle.

Scarleth Lopez with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the organization that led the protest, said the videos of the shooting in Minneapolis were “sickening.”

“Trump has lied and and said that Renee was a terrorist. She was a mother. She was an innocent bystander,” Lopez said. “We must organize to stop these people from kidnapping and murdering.”

Elizabeth Bope, a retired Pflugerville ISD teacher, said the claims from federal and state lawmakers that Good was attempting to strike the ICE agent with her vehicle inspired her to attend the protest.

Such claims were posted online by Vice President J.D. Vance and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Attorney General Ken Paxton reposted a statement from DHS on X, formerly known as Twitter, that said the ICE agent “relied on his training and saved his own life.”

“It’s beyond really any words that they killed this woman for no reason, but also that they’re lying about it,” Bope said. “I’m not even a radical left person, I’m just a regular old Democrat.”

Other key Texas leaders, including Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, have not commented on the shooting.

Doug Tickner, who said he works for a home building company in Austin, said he felt it was important to show up in person for Good.

“I don’t really think of Minneapolis as being that far from here, and it’s not like what happened in Minneapolis was some sort of one off unique event,” Tickner said. “This is part of a pattern, and I feel folks better wake up and realize that this is becoming more and more serious.”

The news that federal immigration officers shot and wounded two people in Portland, Oregon, broke hours before the protest.

The gathering in Pflugerville is among the first of four anti-ICE demonstrations planned across the Austin area over the next few days.

Earlier on Thursday, protesters gathered at the intersection of 45th Street and Lamar Boulevard during rush hour. A protest on Friday will be held at the Capitol and another will be held Saturday at City Hall.

State and federal leaders are now sparring over who should conduct an investigation into the Minneapolis shooting, according to NPR.

Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which was originally asked to conduct a joint investigation with the FBI, said in a statement it was later told the investigation would be led solely by federal authorities.
