Songs I Wanna Hear From Young Guns At Balloonfest [VIDEO]

Lisa Sanchez — Thu, 23 May 2013 18:05:43 +0000

This is one of my favorite bands this year and I am excited they are going to be rocking the Balloonfest stage on Monday! Here are some of the songs I hope I get to hear live at Wet N Wild! I know most people know the song “Bones” and love it, (mostly when I [...]

30 Seconds To Mars Perform "Up In The Air" Live [VIDEO]

Veronica Gonzalez — Thu, 23 May 2013 05:16:02 +0000

I would kill (well not to that extreme) to see 30 Seconds To Mars perform again here in El Paso. Everyone enjoys a band that interacts with their audience as 30 Seconds to Mars is known for. They were on the Jimmy Kimmel show and performed their new single “Up In The Air” for a big [...]

What Would You Ask Lzzy Hale? [VIDEO]

Intern Emily — Wed, 22 May 2013 20:08:36 +0000

She probably won’t date you so don’t bother asking, I’ve tried. Being an intern here at KLAQ is pretty amazing. I don’t get paid but I get to do some awesome things like interview Lzzy Hale of Halestorm. I think they allowed me to do this because they know I will probably freak out in [...]

Ozzy Osbourne Performs Black Sabbath + Solo Hits at 'An Evening with Women' Cancer Benefit

Graham 'Gruhamed' Hartmann — Wed, 22 May 2013 13:50:21 +0000

Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne dropped by the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center's 'An Evening with Women' cancer fundraiser on May 18. Hosted by comedienne Kathy Griffin, musicians Natasha Bedingfield and Sia performed at the function, but the highlight of the night was Ozzy himself, who performed a short set consisting of both Black Sabbath and solo hits.

Peep Show With a Surprise [VIDEO]

Intern Emily — Tue, 21 May 2013 23:00:38 +0000

Bring on the babes in bikinis already! You know you are curious! Look at this hot chick. She totally wants to show you what she has got underneath. Are you ready for these Chi Chis? No need to thank me! I know this made you smile anyway! Remember, you will get to see tons of [...]

How Young Guns "Bones" Album Came Out So Amazing [VIDEO]

Lisa Sanchez — Tue, 21 May 2013 05:35:41 +0000

I am obsessed with Young Guns and love their followup album to their debut “All Our Kings Are Dead” and wondered where they wrote and recorded their new album. Somewhere magical must have inspired such an amazing album. Now I know and understand. Their newest album, “Bones” was recorded at the Karma Sound Studios in [...]

Balloonfest Week Has Officially Begun – Part of Mark Tremonti Has Arrived!

Johnnie Walker — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:52:26 +0000

Okay, that sounded a little weird. Not actually a part of HIM has arrived, but his gear has arrived. For the first time I can remember in Balloonfest history, one of the bands has shipped their gear to us!

Usually we just find scraggly-looking musicians, struggling with gear coming off the baggage carousel at the airport, hoping for either a vegan meal or Whataburger.

Texas Hippie Coalition + Eve to Adam Team Up for 2013 'Highway Robbery' Tour

Chad Childers — Sun, 19 May 2013 13:58:37 +0000

Though summer is a time for heading outdoors, there's still a lot of great music to be heard in the clubs across the country. One of the better indoor touring packages this summer finds Texas Hippie Coalition and Eve to Adam teaming up for the 'Highway Robbery' trek.

This is the Official Launch of the "Lzzy Hale Posing in Playboy" Campaign

Johnnie Walker — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:17:45 +0000

So, Lzzy recently was asked about her Playboy interview, and whether she'd ever consider posing for them if they asked. Because she is one of the most awesome rock chicks to walk the face of the earth, she didn't say no! I love this girl so much!
I haven't really been asked that a lot. I was thinking about it the other day.

Balloonfest 2013 To Feature 2 Rock Over Achievers [VIDEO]

Dubba G — Thu, 16 May 2013 17:29:42 +0000

You’d think being part of a world famous rock band would be enough for most guys right? Not necessarily! This year the KLAQ Balloonfest features 2 guys who just can’t NOT rock! The fest begins Saturday the 25th with Mark Tremonti headlining. Mark first got our attention as the axeman/co-writer of a little band called [...]

Halestorm in Skirts on Jay Leno [VIDEO]

Intern Emily — Thu, 16 May 2013 00:16:19 +0000

You can just imagine them in these outfits at Balloonfest! Before the hits, tours and Grammy, Halestorm made their television debut on Jay Leno! They didn’t perform exactly the way you would think. Lzzy and the boys rocked some girl scout outfits imitating Fergie’s single “Fergalicious”, during a “Jaywalk” segment. This is seriously hilarious and [...]

Balloonfest Sunday is Going to Be a Really Cool Acoustic Rock Day

Johnnie Walker — Wed, 15 May 2013 18:20:27 +0000

At first glance, an acoustic day at Balloonfest 2013 seems kind of weird. But the more you think about it, the better the idea gets! It's something we haven't done since Zakk Wylde came down and performed songs from his then new album Book of Shadows. (Anyone else remember that?) That was a really cool show, and something people really didn't expect from Zakk at the time...heck, it's still odd to think of Zakk on an acoustic guitar, even though he's just done an acoustic tour.

Halestorm Tear Through Love Bites Acoustically [VIDEO]

Dubba G — Wed, 15 May 2013 17:22:47 +0000

Balloonfest is 9 days away and will feature Mark Tremonti, Sully Erna of Godsmack, Young Guns, Halestorm and a plethora of local locos. (Who’s coming? Click here, here and here!) Here’s warm up number 1! Halestorm doing “Love Bites” acoustically [...]

Mick Mars Doesn't Feel Good After This Hit [VIDEO]

Veronica Gonzalez — Sun, 12 May 2013 01:14:56 +0000

Luckily this Motley Crue fan was able to get somewhat of a clear shot of Mick Mars getting knocked down. The looks of the hit Mick took from that fan must have hurt more than how it looks. Check out all the craziness that went down at the Motley Crue concert below.

Our 28th Annual Klaq Balloonfest Starter: Tremonti Projects Story From The Road [VIDEO]

Veronica Gonzalez — Sat, 11 May 2013 05:30:54 +0000

Many of you think the rockstar lifestyle is all fun and games when in reality it’s hard work. The only two jobs we have to do for a concert is pay a pretty penny for tickets and stand there being entertained. As for the bands that travel to come perform for us such as [...]

Kirk's Crypt at Orion Music + More Will Be Bigger and Better This Year [VIDEO]

Johnnie Walker — Fri, 10 May 2013 18:04:06 +0000

In case you'd need another reason to sign up for the Orion VIP trip package we're giving away, here's something I'd love to check out at the festival this year. Last year, each band member had his own "tent" with things that reflect that guy's hobbies or interests. James had cars and bikes, Lars had movies, Robert had skating stuff, and the whole band had their museum.

The part I really want to see...
