Mike Thrasher Presents: Waterparks 12/13/19 El Corazon
Event Details
As they wrote and recorded their second full-length album Entertainment [Equal Vision
Records] out January 26, 2018, a wise prophet’s words stuck with Waterparks…
“Tina-motherfucking-Fey once said, “Everything that’s good comes from honesty’,” repeats lead
singer and guitarist Awsten Knight. “When you’re being that open, others connect. We’re not
vague and subtle in our songs. I want everything to feel colorful and real. This band embodies
that idea.”
Since their emergence in 2015, the Houston trio—Awsten, Otto Wood [drums], and Geoff
Wigington [guitar, backing vocals]—have kept it real and catapulted to international renown as
a result of a signature style that seamlessly slips-n-slides between rock, pop, and alternative.
Their full-length debut, Double Dare, earned a rare 4.5-out-of-5 star rating from Alternative
Press and spawned the hit “Stupid For You,” which generated over 4.6 million Spotify streams
and counting.
On the road, they tore up venues everywhere alongside All Time Low, Good Charlotte, Sleeping
With Sirens, State Champs and more in addition to selling out their first UK jaunt and 14-out-of-
23 dates on a US co-headliner. Among various accolades, Awsten graced the cover of
Alternative Press for the Warped Tour issue, and the entire band covered Rock Sound.
