Riley! book the Lowbrow Palace for a Tuesday in February

The South Texas pop-punk band, fresh off its Pure Noise debut EP, plays El Paso on Feb 2 with Leisure Hour and Shoreline; tickets $10 to $27.

A Tuesday in early February doesn't sound like much of a night out until you see the price. Riley! are bringing a three-band punk bill to The Lowbrow Palace, and the cheapest ticket is ten bucks.

The facts: Riley! plays The Lowbrow Palace on Tuesday, Feb 2, 2027, with the show starting at 7 p.m. Leisure Hour and Shoreline are on the bill. Tickets run $10 to $27 through See Tickets, linked from our show page, and the date was announced Oct 20. The Lowbrow holds 400.

If you haven't caught up with Riley! yet, 2026 was the year to do it. The band, from South Texas, signed with Pure Noise Records and released its label debut, the five-song EP *To Live and Die in the American South*, on July 17. They recorded it in Austin with producer Phil Odom, whose credits include Militarie Gun and Say Anything. Pure Noise's framing of the record is that it keeps the band's sharp edges while leaning into bigger hooks, clearer melodies and tighter dynamics.

One of its singles, "Two Bucks," came out June 30 and features Eric Egan of Heart Attack Man, and it leans hard into melody and high, soaring harmonies. Another, the gloriously titled "Another Round of Radical Ritas Please," was out ahead of the EP's announcement. It's their first release since 2024's *Keep Your Cool*, and it's the one that put them on a national label's roster.

The cheapest ticket is ten bucks. The band just made the record that got them signed.

That's what makes February interesting. Bands are often at their best in the stretch right after a breakout record, when the new songs are still fresh to them and the rooms haven't yet gotten too big. A 400-capacity room on a weeknight is exactly that moment, and for El Paso it means seeing a Texas band on the way up from close enough to get caught in the pit if you want to be.

The Lowbrow Palace is the right place for it. With Leisure Hour and Shoreline on the bill, the night is a full lineup rather than a headliner with filler.

A few practical notes. A 7 p.m. start on a Tuesday means you'll be home at a reasonable hour, so there's no excuse to skip the openers. The low end of that $10 to $27 range is the one to grab first, since cheaper tiers usually go early. Buy through See Tickets on our show page, not a reseller. And if you want homework, put on *To Live and Die in the American South* on the way over; it's five songs, so it'll take you about as long as the drive.

Show up for it.
