Gabe Aranda Talks Balloonfest, Tornado Damage [AUDIO]

Buzz Adams — Tue, 21 May 2013 18:45:47 +0000

We've gotten to know Gabe and Dameon Aranda pretty well over the past few years. They've played at several of our events and, if you've ever seen them perform, you know they are a super, super talented band.

They're also good people. We'd been scheduled to talk to Gabe since Saturday about their upcoming performance at Balloonfest. Then the tornadoes hit Oklahoma right near where they make their homes. They'll still be here Sunday for Balloonfest, but our interview this morning took a different direction in light of the recent weather in OKC.

Are you excited for Balloonfest yet? Aranda is! Aranda totally gives me a lady boner! These guys put on one hell of a show! I still regret not catching Dameon’s shoe at the KLAQ BBQ back in 2011. They covered Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” with Halestorm during that event and it was pretty freaking amazing! [...]

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 [...]

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.

They’ll be doing much the same when they visit El Paso for an acoustic set at Balloonfest this year! The brothers perform “One More Lie” here. In the second segment, [...]

Aranda Performs Live at KLAQ With Scott Ronson [VIDEO/PHOTOS]

Johnnie Walker — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 04:30:42 +0000

Aranda stopped by the KLAQ studios on their way to McKelligon Canyon for Cool Canyon Nights. They agreed to play "Undone" for us, even without any warm-up. The acoustic version kicks ass, just like the rock version we recorded at the KLAQ BBQ last September.
