Rock y Roll Radio attended the June 20th Sabor Music Fest and had a really great time. Got to see Brownout, who is releasing their new CD "Aguilas and Cobras" on September 15th, perform and enjoyed their Latin funk sound and the ambiance that is the Market Square.

This last event promises to be the biggest and the best of the series with several of Rock y Roll Radio's favorite bands performing.

The performing artist for the fest are:

Bombasta - A San Antonio and Austin, Texas favorite. Their Cumbia, Latin and Fusion beat will have you dancing in the street.

Pinata Protest - Also a San Antonio and Austin, Texas favorite. If you like Punk with a Mexican in your face flair, Pinata Protest is your band. Even if you don't like Punk, these guys will entertain you with their energy and charisma. "Puro Pinche Punk"

Girl In A Coma - Again a San Antonio, Austin, Texas and national favorite. Their music combines rock, rockabilly and punk with a dark and sober feel. Girl In A Coma's intriguing stage presence and music will mesmerize you into a euphoric "Coma."

Ernie Garibay and the Sleeping Cats - Ernie is a San Antonio icon and is a respected and admired music veteran. The Sleeping Cats play a combination of Old School rock and oldies with a blend of rhythm and blues. If Ernie is playing, you know it's a party.

Stefani Montiel - Is a San Antonio based Tejano Artist although she does also perform Latin, Salsa and R&B.

Grupo Fama - From Houston, Texas is a Regional Mexican and Spanish Pop band.

There's a lot of excellent and diverse music and you'll definitely find a band to suit your musical taste.

I strongly recommend that you attend this last and historic event because it may not happen again or anytime soon.

And, if you haven't been to San Antonio's Market Square, you have to make it a point to visit the Square. There are restaurants and food booths, small shops that sell all varieties of Mexican curios and articles in air conditioned facilities or you can just sit in the Square and enjoy the ambiance. And don't forget to visit the Museo Alameda "American Sabor" exhibit.

Rock y Roll Radio, Internet radio, has Bombasta, Pinata Protest and Girl In A Come on their play list. Check them out if you're not familiar with these fine bands.

Este Vato at The Tiniest Bar in Texas

Rock y Roll Radio likes to promote up and coming bands that you'll be hearing about. Here is one band that you have to check out.

Este Vato, a new, up and coming Austin, Texas band, plays at the Tiniest Bar in Texas on Friday, June 5, 2009. How does Rock y Roll Radio know that Este Vato is up and coming, because they were one of the featured bands at the Remezcla.com En Tu Cuidad Tour in March. The other featured bands were Pinata Protest, Peligrosa All-Stars and Girl In A Coma. Este Vato's street rep and draw power put this Cumbia Rock and Latin Fusion band on the Austin scene.

Este Vato has been working on a new CD and is being finalized at this time. As soon as the CD is available, Rock y Roll Radio will let the listening public know all the details.

Make it a point to check Este Vato out for yourself. Don't just take Rock y Roll Radio's word for it.

On a related note:

Rock y Roll Radio just featured two of Pinata Protest's songs on the current Rock y Roll Radio playlist. Pinata Protest, another up and coming band, already has a CD but is only sold at their shows along with other merchandise.

En Tu Ciudad Tour - Austin, TX

Latin Music Month Finale Radio Edition

This weekend is the end of Latin Music Month here in Austin, Texas. There has been an abundance of Latin music, activites and shows throughout the city. The last BIG event for the month though is the Pachanga Music Festival. You'll have 19 Bands and 3 stages plus children's activites, a fun time for every member of the family.

Rock y Roll Radio will spend the entire day at the festival and take in as many bands as possible. In our month of May playlists, we tried to include as many of the bands playing the festival and during Latin Music Month. We hope the playlists gave you an idea of the abundant local talent and the talented artist that come to Austin.

Rock y Roll Radio will take some time off for the next two weeks inorder to do some work on the website and just take a breather after a very busy month. We'll be back on June 13th with a new playlist and other features. We appreciate you taking the time to visit the site and for listening to the music.


This weeks radio edition starts with "El Matador" by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. "El Matador" is always a favorite and gets the blood pumping.

The "Wild Card" is "Wanna Love You" by Akon and Tego Calderon. Someting a little out of the ordinary but with the Tego influence.

Also included in the playlist are two songs by Pinata Protest, "Puro Pedo Punk Rock" from San Antonio, Texas. They're a local favorite that is energetic, physical and unique in sound. Pinata Protest played for the recent Remezcla.com En Tu Cuidad Tour in March. On a side note, the lead singer, Alvaro Salas can be seen in the Girl In A Coma video, "The Cell."

May was a busy month and now the Summer season is here! Let's Pachanga!
