The popular group also known as CaS made an appearance to Houston for the third time ever on September 18th, turning the Toyota Center into a sold out show. The El Paso band is known for their ethereal and often dream-like musical style. Their lyrics are often based on the themes of romance and love.
Fans dressed in a mix of black clothing such as skirts, leather jackets, and black tops – an unspoken dress code – packed the space, creating an electric atmosphere. The lead singer was also dressed in a simple black outfit, standing out under the spotlight, holding the microphone with an intensity that set the tone for the rest of the night.
CaS started the set with one of their newest songs, “X’s”. The energy was infectious, and the audience was on their feet, singing along to every word.
During the concert the band played several of their hits, including “Sunsetz”, “K.”, and “You’re All I Want”. The audience was definitely in for a journey through CaS’s discography, experiencing the band’s evolution in sound.
However, the highlight of the night came when the band performed their much-loved track, “Apocalypse.” The set for “Apocalypse” included two bright and shimmery disco balls that lit up the entire stadium. The production during this song left the audience mesmerized.
While the concert was short, only being an hour and 16 minutes, some fans started to leave after the second-to-last song to avoid being caught in traffic. Merchandise stalls lined the venue and most took advantage of it before the concert started. Everything from t-shirts to posters and sweatshirts were available. The price ranges were from $10 for access to a digital album to $100 for sweatshirts.
The venue itself was an ideal choice for the concert and showed just how popular the band had become.The year before, CaS performed at 713 music hall, a venue twice as small as the Toyota Center. Despite the energetic atmosphere, the sound quality was excellent, ensuring that each song was heard with clarity.
There were many fans who had anticipated this concert for months, or even years.
“I have been wanting to go since last year but I couldn’t get tickets. I waited behind my screen watching the timeline for the pre-sale tickets to be available, and luckily I got them”, said Sofy Diez ‘25.
It is clear how much fans knew this concert was a once in a lifetime opportunity and took it. From the mesmerizing visuals to the captivating setlist, the band left no doubt as one of the most exciting acts in the scene today.
For those who were there, it was more than just music, it was a celebration of what a live performance can do to a community, and of the shared emotions that great art can evoke. It is clear that the group’s journey is far from over, and the anticipation for their next visit is already building.
