William W. Purkey said "You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like it's heaven on Earth," and while we don't know about the love life of this dude spotted at Cool Canyon Nights, he definitely took the dancing part to heart.
What do you get when you mix people who have been drinking in the sun all day with the chance to meet Sully Erna? A Godsmack singalong, of course!
The new Black Sabbath album 13 hits stores on Tuesday, June 11th, and their North American tour kicks off in Houston on July 25th at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion! This is the first full Sabbath album to feature Ozzy on vocals in thirty-five years, and the first since Never Say Die. I'm a big Sabbath fan, so this is good news for me!
But even better, KLAQ can put your butt in an airplane and send you to Houston for the North American tour kickoff show! How?
For all the Halestorm crazy fans out there, here is Halestorm performing "Freak Like Me" at Balloonfest over the weekend.
Join me every Wednesday night at the Stateline in El Paso for the Stateline Summer Concert Series. Tonight's show is featuring Lusitania, an El Paso-based rock/Americana band.
You know by now that I'm a huge music fan, and I love original music from local guys. As long as you're doing what you love to do, I'm down. Even if it's not something I'm really interested in, I still respect and dig that you're doing your thing. Keep at it! We need more people creating and doing new stuff.
Some of the people around town that I really like are all different, and range from jazz to reggae to rock to blues to metal...I'm down with all of it! Check out these guy, who are two of my favorite local musicians.
Suly Erna brought his acoustic set for the KLAQ Balloonfest over at Wet N Wild and it was awesome! Check out his performance of "Running Blind."
I kept telling everyone how amazing this band is and how much I love their entire album "Bones." They showed us everything they've got on Monday and here is a couple songs for you to enjoy!
This has to be one of the nicest group of rockers out there! Not to mention the pipes on these guys.
The second day of Balloonfest is in the books, and I have to say I feel great about day two! I wrote here a couple weeks ago that I thought Sunday was going to be an amazing day that people will find themselves talking about for a long time.
It totally was.
Despite a delayed layover, Aranda made it just in time to perform a few songs and the most badass medley of Michael Jackson ever performed. After that, Sully Erna took the stage with an epic acoustic performance on guitar and piano. Check out the photos below of their performances and meet-and-greets while we get the videos ready.
I've been looking forward to Balloonfest Saturday ever since I found out about Tremonti being signed to play. I think he's an underrated guitar player, and a fantastic songwriter.
Mark and his band didn't disappoint, either! They hit the stage with some serious chops, and ferocity that I love to see a heavy band have. They really enjoy playing these song, have a lot of skill on their instruments, and really work on bonding with the crowd, trying to make sure the people watching are as big a part of the show as they are.
