Viagra Boys Bring Raw Chaotic Honesty to Houston 10/30/2025 at White Oak Music Hall.
Viagra Boys brought The Infinite Anxiety Tour to White Oak Music Hall’s lawn on a beautiful fall night, filling the air with loud, gritty sounds and a contagious energy that felt as honest as it was chaotic. Blending punk attitude with pulsing synths, distorted basslines, and bursts of saxophone, the band turned the night into something raw and beautifully human.
Frontman Sebastian Murphy performed shirtless, dancing across the stage with a calm confidence. Between songs, he called the orange man a “fat f*** fascist”, drawing loud cheers from the Houston crowd. The moment was a shared honesty, unfiltered and without hesitation.
The audience sang along to favorites like Punk Rock Loser, Waterboy, and Sports, which Murphy introduced with an improvised song about Houston. New tracks from their latest album fit seamlessly with older ones, keeping the energy steady and unpredictable.
After the opener, Black Lips set the mood, Viagra Boys delivered what Houston didn’t know it needed: a night of beautiful chaos under the stars. It’s messy, loud, and completely alive.

Taking Back Sunday rolled through Houston on their most recent North American Tour in celebration of their new album, 152. It was a humid night, but that didn’t stop TBS fans from packing the White Oak Music Hall lawn!
If you aren’t familiar with Taking Back Sunday, they have been a band for over 20 years and have sold millions of albums all across the world. You might know two of their most played tracks, “MakeDamnSure” and “Cute Without The ‘E’ (Cut From The Team)”. If you aren’t familiar with them, I highly recommend taking the time to listen to their discography. With 8 full-length studio albums, there is bound to be a song that you’ll like!
It was amazing to see Taking Back Sunday live and performing all of their hit songs. The set list was a great mix of fan favorites, while also adding in songs from their newest album. “Amphetamine Smiles” and “Quit Trying” were our personal favorites from the album, 152, and it was so nice to finally hear those live.
If you haven’t been able to make it to see TBS when they are on tour, we highly recommend you find a show near you and attend! The energy between the band and the fans in the crowd is something to behold.
