Citizen

Citizen play Emo's Austin on Wednesday, September 9. They're the main feature of the night, and they've brought three other bands along for the bill: Anxious, Hotline TNT, and Rocket. It's a four-band lineup, so you'll be in there for a while.

Citizen has been around for a while now, and they've moved through a few different sounds since they started. If you've followed them from the beginning, you'll remember the early records—the kind of music that leaned into the heavier, more direct side of the scene. Over the years, they've shifted toward a more melodic, mid-tempo approach, and the set usually reflects that transition. You'll hear the newer material alongside the older stuff, so it's a good way to catch where they started and where they've landed.

Anxious, Hotline TNT, and Rocket open the night, each taking their own slot before Citizen takes the stage. With four bands on the bill, the evening stretches across several sets, and you'll get to hear a few different takes on the same general orbit of sound before the headliner closes things out. It's the kind of night where you can come early and stay through the whole run.

All four bands play at Emo's Austin on Wednesday, September 9. You can find tickets and more details on the venue's website at emosaustin.com.
