Let's hope El Paso doesn't get too crazy at the free Pantera tribute show at Rockhouse Dive Bar Kitchen Venue. But then again who can control themselves when they're rocking out to Pantera jams? If you like going hard when it comes to your music preference then you will enjoy this concert announcement.

On Thursday, July 22nd, El Paso staple H&H Car Wash closed their doors after 63 years of business in the Sun City. Located at 701 Yandell Dr. since 1986, H&H was one of those places where outsiders might have thought of it as a "little hole in the wall" but to all of us here in the Sun City, we knew this was an El Paso institution and THE place to get your car washed and to get a good meal!

Drunk driving is NEVER okay, but what if you're doing your job and never even interact with the drunk driver? This law makes it so you could still be charged. Buckle up, we've got a lot of unpacking to do from this decision by the New Mexico Supreme Court announced this week. On Monday, the New Mexico Supreme court made a decision that could make gas stations liable for selling fuel to drivers who they believe to be intoxicated.

A new report has been released that shows what roads are the most treacherous around the world. Some roads are more dangerous than others, and the insurance company Budget Direct commissioned a group of researchers to figure out which roads are the most treacherous to commute on. The researchers looked...

Honest respect to the creator who put System of a Down's 2002 Toxicity single "Aerials" and Coolio's 1995 Dangerous Minds soundtrack contribution, "Gangsta's Paradise," into a catchy mashup together. Because, sure, unofficial mashups between rock bands and pop or hip-hop artists are plentiful. Still, hearing disparate strains from different parts...

If you'll remember (and even if you don't) a couple of days ago I wrote an article titled "Have You Seen These 7 Movies that Were Filmed in El Paso?". In the list, I had:. I thought my list was pretty solid, that is, until I received everyone's messages. I got messages like "OMG how can you forget...." and "I can't believe you didn't add this one..." etc.

Most movies have a distinct beginning, middle, and end. While all three are important components of a film’s plot, the ending is what makes a lasting impression on the viewer. Some movies play it safe with tidy resolutions, while other endings wind up way out in left-field. Whether it’s a...

Ten rock and metal acts made major bank in 2020 amid an unprecedented year that saw virtually no revenue from touring due to restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. But they mostly trailed among the top-earning musicians in 2020 overall, who largely dominated pop music. Still, for longtime rock fans...

There's nothing like watching bands perform live in concert; & the same goes for watching live videos. But one thing you don't see a lot of are live concert FILMS like Led Zeppelin's The Song That Remains The Same; films that combine both live performances AND the bands OFF the stage. Well there's a local band doing EXACTLY that.

There's a gnarly activity you can do that is fun and also a way for you to destress. Coloring is a great way to relieve stress and help you relax. In my opinion, coloring actually does take your mind off things. A talented local artist Christin Apodaca would like you to join her at a Tarantino-themed coloring night.

A non-profit organization in El Paso has been helping underserved families here in town and New Mexico. Even before the pandemic hit there are families that were already struggling financially. It can be tough when you're a single mother trying to provide for the family. But luckily there's a non-profit...

Had trouble ordering your Taco Bell favorites recently? You better sit down, because the news isn't good.... It's safe to say people love Taco Bell. An entire pop-up hotel in Palm Springs dedicated to the Mexican fast food joint sold out in only 2 minutes! If you're a diehard fan of Taco Bell, this news may be quite upsetting for you.

It's that time of year again, it's back to school time. After what might have felt like the longest break ever, students across the borderland will be making their return to classrooms this fall semester. First day of school is August 2nd!. While many parents and students are looking forward...

Aaron Lewis performed in Delaware last night (July 21) accidentally playing the Staind mega hit “It’s Been Awhile” twice while admittedly wasted onstage. Lewis rocked up to Delaware (Joe Biden’s home state) wearing a “Fuck Biden” shirt and “Impeach Biden” hat. The musician’s set comprised of mostly solo songs, including the new No. 1 country hit “Am I the Only One,” which disses left-leaning musician Bruce Springsteen and challenges the removal of Confederate monuments. However, Staind’s biggest song got its own accidental encore during Lewis’ Dewey Beach gig.

Lotería is game that is enjoyed by many. You can play it at parties and at kermes's, and sometimes you can win a cool prize, like a ceramic owl (which I won at the St. Anthony's Kermes a couple of years ago!). Now, Netflix is getting ready to share our love of the game Lotería to the world as they are creating a movie based on the iconic game.

On Sunday, July 18, all hell broke loose on El Paso's east central and far east sides of town. A wild rainstorm that dumped officially 1.5 inches of rain at the airport but much more unofficially all over the east sides of town caused all kinds of crazy flooding that most eastsiders say they've never seen before in their lives.

The two-year anniversary of the Walmart tragedy in El Paso is coming up and there will again be a beautiful luminaria display to honor the victims. It's hard to believe it's been two years since an armed man walked into an El Paso Walmart, killing 23 people. The El Paso community became stronger and more united in the aftermath with all of us being "El Paso Strong." 2020 was a difficult time for our community and the entire world, with the coronavirus pandemic leaving the economy reeling and our spirits were broken from so much loss. This year has been about people and businesses rebuilding from the tough year and now it's time for us to remember and honor those we lost two years ago.

The FC Juarez front office has been hard at work since last season ended, approximately 2 and half months ago, to refresh the image of the Bravos since their more than dismal 2021 Clausura season. The ownership group (which includes MountainStar Sports Group) has opened their wallets to bring in...
