About The Neighbourhood

The Neighbourhood started in Newbury Park, California as Jesse Rutherford's bedroom project before expanding into a full band. They broke through with the 2013 single 'Sweater Weather,' a song so ubiquitous it became inescapable—streaming billions of times across platforms. The band's sound blends lo-fi indie rock with hip-hop influences and moody introspection, creating something that feels deliberately understated. Their debut album I Love You came out in 2013 and established their aesthetic: distorted guitars, anxiety-ridden lyrics, and production that sounds like it was recorded in someone's basement even when it wasn't. 'Daddy Issues' and 'Alligator' solidified their cult following among people who appreciated their refusal to sound polished. They've never quite reached stadium status despite the streaming numbers, which feels right for a band that seems genuinely uncomfortable with excess attention.

Their shows are intimate even in bigger venues—lots of phone cameras, swaying crowds, people mouthing every word to 'Sweater Weather' despite the song's ironic detachment. Energy is moody rather than explosive, with moments of real tension during the heavier tracks.

The Neighbourhood + Austin

The Neighbourhood has a quiet but solid history in Austin. Their last confirmed appearance was December 7, 2017 at Emo's, where they worked through a setlist that balanced their moody hits with deeper cuts. They opened with 'Female Robbery' and built through the evening with songs like 'Noise' and 'Prey' before closing on 'Scary Love.' The band's anxious bedroom-pop sound has always resonated in a city that appreciates understated intensity, and their Austin shows tend to draw a devoted crowd ready to sit with the band's neurotic energy.

Live Music in Austin

Austin's music scene thrives on specificity, and The Neighbourhood fit that ethos—they're too weird for mainstream radio, too synth-heavy for pure indie rock credibility, existing in that liminal space where bedroom pop and dark alternative meet. The city's venues like Emo's have always championed bands that don't fit neatly into categories, preferring artists with genuine point of view over genre compliance.

Austin road trip to see The Neighbourhood?

Stay in East Austin, where you'll find better restaurants and a neighborhood that actually feels alive. Dinner at Suerte—confident, creative food in a space that doesn't try too hard. During the day, wander the galleries and vintage shops along East 6th, or head to Zilker Park to sit with a coffee and watch Austin be itself. If you've got time, catch live music at Mohawk or Hotel Vegas—smaller rooms where you can see how Austin's songwriting community actually operates. The city's best asset isn't any single thing; it's the density of good people doing interesting work.
