Streetfest 2012

I was almost kicked out of the back stage are at Streetfest 2012 on Saturday for (and I'm not making this up at all) "playing a cowbell within earshot of Blue Oyster Cult." How did this come about? I'm glad you asked, because it's a very funny story.  It all started earlier in the evening ...

One of the things that I noticed at Streetfest this weekend was all the KLAQ shirts I saw people wearing.

Streetfest 2012 kicked some serious tushie, with tons of great music, food, classic cars (including the Batmobile Tumbler and Bat Pod!), beer and tons of great friends to enjoy it with. Oh, and Lisa Sanchez and I brought our not-so-smooth dance moves!

So I was wandering around Streetfest 2012 on Saturday, and I spied with my little eyes three beautiful ladies. If the girls being absolutely gorgeous and barely clothed wasn't enough, it turns out they're dominatrixes. So, Stephanie the Corporate Computer Babe and I grabbed a camera (you're welcome) and chatted with the ladies!

Streetfest 2012 was a complete success with great music, food, fireworks, beer, and YOU - an awesome crowd to share the experience with. We don't know about you, but us at KLAQ are feeling a little beat up after Friday and Saturday. So much so, there are many among our staff thinking about calling in sick and taking off work on Monday because something tells us we'll still be hungover from Streetf

Filter helped kick things into a higher gear on Friday, June 29th at the El Paso Downtown Streetfest! They hit the stage hard and fast and built the energy for the crowd for over an hour with great songs and lots of interaction with the fans! They were a great lead in to Theory of a Deadman, and got the crowd really pumped to continue the evening!

The El Paso Downtown Streetfest continued with another huge crowd, fantastic live music, lots of fun and great fireworks thanks to Teacher's Federal Credit Union! El Paso celebrated Independence a little early this year with explosions and beautiful lights in the sky.

This year's El Paso Downtown Streetfest kicked off rock hard with a fantastic show from Saliva! They came right out of the gate with a lot of energy and really got the crowd going. New singer Bobby Amaru sounded great and really worked the El Paso crowd.

Day one of Streetfest 2012 was a blast -- with so much to see and do. While all the bands, Saliva, Filter, Theory of a Deadman AND the locals, were awesome, I had a dance party all by myself in the silent DJ booth!

Two KLAQ listners were lucky enough to win some up close and personal time with the Bat Tumbler and Bat Pod when they rolled into Streetfest 2012 Friday night. The pair came to El Paso as part of the Tumbler Tour, which is traveling the country in anticipation of next month's release of "The Dark Knight Rises."

Streetfest 2012 kicked off in a big way on Friday the 29th with Theory of a Deadman headlining the Budweiser Main Stage. Tyler and the guys came right out of the gate getting El Paso even more worked up and having a great time. The crowd sang along and moved to all the Theory of a Deadman songs, including my personal favorite, "Nothing Could Come Between Us".

Part of the El Paso Downtown Streetfest that everyone loves every year is the huge fireworks shows each night. Thanks to Teacher's Federal Credit Union, El Paso celebrates the Fourth of July with a bang, or a few hundred or thousand or so!
