MADAM RADAR RELEASES ELECTRIFYING LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO FOR "CAROLINA"
First Visual From Upcoming "Live From Antone's" Album Captures the Austin Americana Rock Band at Their Most Powerful
AUSTIN, TX (July 17, 2026)...Austin-based Americana rock band Madam Radar has released the official live performance video for "Carolina," filmed during the band's sold-out performance at Austin's legendary Antone's Nightclub. The video captures the energy, chemistry, and four-part harmonies that have become the band's trademark while offering fans their first visual glimpse into their forthcoming live album, Live From Antone's.
"Carolina" has been part of Madam Radar's identity since the band's earliest days. Written by bassist and vocalist Violet Lea shortly after joining the group a decade ago, the song famously came to her in a dream—with all four vocal parts already in place. Since then, it has become a fan favorite thanks to its playful themes of adventure, infectious hooks, and soaring harmonies.
"'Carolina' has been with us almost from the start," says Lea. "It felt like the song arrived fully formed, and over the years it's grown right alongside us as a band. It felt like the perfect song to introduce this live record."
The newly released video showcases one of the band's most unforgettable live moments, opening with a dramatic a cappella chorus that proved so powerful it inspired the reimagined studio version featured on Madam Radar's latest album, MOTEL. Captured before a packed house at the iconic "Home of the Blues," the performance highlights the dynamic stage presence and musical chemistry that have earned the quartet the title of one of the must-see live acts out of Austin.
