Bee Blackwell (EP release), Lauren Lakis, French Film, Tough on Fridays

Out-of-time young Austinite Bee Blackwell re-creates the rumble and jangle of Nineties alt-rock with the studied perfection of an artist who grew up with the MTV generation, not the TikTok generation. The singer – who has nearly 60,000 followers on that music-loving app – crafts sunny, radio-ready singles and fuzzy, introspective numbers in equal measure. Murky earworm “LALALA” and poppy single “CLAWS” preview the artist’s upcoming EP NINE LIVES, which she rings in at Vegas with Lauren Lakis, French Film, and Tough on Fridays, plus members of Queen Serene on the DJ stacks. – Carys Anderson
