The New "Live at the El Rey" Series
The El Rey Theater has a long history of showcasing the best music in Albuquerque. Now, with the partnership of Puccini Productions, we thought it was time to start documenting these incredible performances!
We will be choosing the best of the local and national musicians that have graced the stage of The Historic El Rey Theater to be recorded live and added to a compilation CD available near the end of the year. Proceeds from CD sales will benefit Puccini Productions, a 501(c) (3) Non Profit Corporation. The chosen artists will also have the opportunity to take away from the performance a finished studio-quality CD made possible by the extreme skill, generosity, and hard work of our in-house sound technician Markus Adams of InRoom Sound.

Founding member Chris Sandoval said although the group was blindly thrown together in a band contest hosted by Albuquerque radio station 104.1 The Edge, it was their drive to take their music worldwide that keeps them going even today.

Medina (lead Guitar, Back up Vocals) and Kirk Kapple (drums). For more information on BLINDDRYVE, visit their myspace page at blinddryve.

Date: Saturday, 2 October 2010 Is Larry Garner the best Songwriter in Blues today? The Baton Rouge guitarist brings his swamp blues tradition with current subjects and problems of everyday life to the people all over the world.
For a man who came to the blues relatively late in life from a day job and family life in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Larry Garner wanted no time earning a worldwide reputation as one terrific bluesman. Maybe his roundabout, diverse route is a part of why he brings such freshness of vision along with a solid all-around grounding as a musician, poet and storyteller. The combination is certainly paying off.

Date: Monday, 25 October 2010 MarchFourth Marching Band is a high-energy surrealist global-groove alternative big band, propelled by electric bass, diverse percussion ensemble, and brassy horn section. Visually enhanced by costumed dancing beauties, acrobatic stilt walkers, fire, and theatrics, Portland, OR-based M4 invokes dancing in the streets and beyond! MarchFourth writes and performs its own material, and also draws inspiration from an eclectic range of worldwide influences, such as Eastern European Gypsy Brass, Samba, Funk, Afro-Beat, Big-Band, Jazz, and Rock music, as well as television, film, circus, and Vaudeville. To MarchFourth Marching Band, art is life. Aside from being performers, the members of MarchFourth are also full- or part-time artists, designers, and craftspeople. All their drum harnesses (welded from recycled bicycle parts), stilts, costumes, merchandise, audio, and visual propaganda are designed and produced by members of the band. "For sheer foot-stomping, joy-making fun, you couldn't beat the MarchFourth Marching Band from Portland, OR. It was a blend of burlesque, vaudeville, horn-driven funk and marching band madness. The costumed horde, many with their faces painted and several on death-defying stilts, made for the kind of spectacle that deserves the word awesome."
