Texas Is the Reason is on the October 22 Masquerade calendar for a 7 p.m. show in the Hell room. For listeners who like guitar-driven alternative music, this is an unusually specific reunion rather than another generic nostalgia night.

The smaller-room format is part of the appeal: a close-up performance by a band associated with an influential era of post-hardcore and emo. The published listing describes a supporting bill but does not guarantee ticket availability.

Listen to a couple of tracks first and then check the venue listing. This is worth a click even if the evening does not end in a ticket purchase.

What to do: Sample the band and check the Masquerade for 7 p.m. tickets.
