Let the Music Be Heard

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Texas chapter.


Let the Music be Heard: Austin City Limits festival, held annually at Zilker Park, kicked off Friday October 8th, 2010. The lineup featuring 130 eclectic bands attracted many locals, including UT students, as well as music fans from nearby cities.  

The Free Spirit Within: In celebration of the eccentric atmosphere of the festival, several people opt to wear atypical fashion instead of the usual jeans and t-shirt. While Slightly Stoopid plays on stage, a male dances along to their music wearing a fake mullet wig reminiscent of the 80s hairstyle trend.

Bringing NYC thrill to Austin, Texas: The Strokes headlined Friday night at Austin City Limits with no dull moments to spare between the energy of fans in the crowd and the band members dominating the AMD stage.

Singer Julian Casablancas kept his casual attitude wearing his trademark shades and leather jacket.
