Rival Consoles

If your weekend plans include scrolling through Spotify playlists and wistfully wishing for something that hits a little different, consider this your cosmic nudge. Rival Consoles is gracing the Teragram Ballroom on August 22, 2026, and it's the kind of event that makes even the most seasoned audiophile's heart skip a beat. Ryan Lee West's electronic wizardry isn't just music—it's an odyssey through soundscapes that shimmer and pulsate like a neon dream. Imagine a sonic cocktail shaken with Radiohead's introspection, Aphex Twin's glitchy genius, and a dash of James Blake's haunting elegance. You'll find yourself enveloped in kaleidoscopic synths and driving beats that turn the mundane into something transcendently magnetic. With tickets set at $25 in advance and a smidgeon more at the door, the price is less than your last artisanal oat milk latte binge. All ages are welcome, so bring your younger siblings—let's give them a crash course in cool. Basement gigs are rad, but sometimes you need a live set that hits like an existential epiphany. Don't sleep on this.
