Die Spitz Prove Their Power at Lincoln Hall

Die Spitz’s November 12 show at Lincoln Hall made clear how quickly the Austin quartet—Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe De St. Aubin, Eleanor Livingston, and Kate Halter—have grown into a force. Riding the momentum of their debut Something to Consume (Third Man Records), they opened with a blistering “Pop Punk Anthem” that instantly pulled Chicago into their orbit, blending precision, volatility, and the easy chemistry of longtime friends.

That chemistry, forged through years of childhood and teenage bonds, was the backbone of the night. “Riding With My Girls” hit especially hard, Livingston’s drumming and Halter’s confidently heavy bass anchoring the song’s joyful chaos. The band shifted effortlessly from explosive punk to thick, dreamy grunge, with “Go Get Dressed” casting a moody calm before the room snapped back into full intensity.

Their debut album Something to Consume channels the same range and conviction. The album explores the pressures of obsession, expectation, and being devoured by modern life, balancing heaviness with melody and a clear, singular identity. Across its 11 tracks, the record showcases musicianship far beyond their years—and the deep trust at the core of Die Spitz’s sound.

In Chicago, that trust translated into a show that felt both unruly and precise, fierce and full of heart. Die Spitz may still be early in their career, but Lincoln Hall proved they already know exactly who they are—and they’re only getting louder.
