Slow Joy —The Edge of Intimate Performance

Vibes Underground will host Slow Joy on Saturday, November 29, 2025, marking a late-year Texas date in their ongoing national run. The San Antonio appearance falls within their recently announced fall itinerary, which includes collaborations and select co-bills with Texas Is the Reason and inoha . Doors open at 7:00 p.m.

Earlier this year, the Albuquerque-based act introduced new material with the release of Gruesome — their first song of 2025 — blending their established guitar-forward approach with a refined lyrical edge. The track’s rollout has positioned it as a central point in their current live performances, offering audiences a direct link to their evolving sound.

San Antonio’s set will compliment Slow Joy’s talent for intimate fan connection, as Vibes Underground allows for artists to be inches from their supporters —a method fans have come to apreciate in the midst of saturated large room shows.

Adding local strength to the bill is Telefilm, a San Antonio-based act whose shoegaze-influenced sound and dynamic live presence have earned them a dedicated following across the city’s alt and indie scenes. Their inclusion makes this night not only a tour stop for Slow Joy, but a showcase of rising talent in Texas' underground landscape.

With Slow Joy's evolving catalog, Telefilm's local momentum, and a venue built for honest, up-close connection, this night promises more than just a live set—it’s a snapshot of where alternative music is headed, and who's helping shape it. For fans looking to end the year with something raw, loud, and real, November 29 at Vibes Underground is one not to miss.
