Sayonara, Suckers!

Santa Fe, I love you but you’re freaking me out

Alex De Vore
Well, Santa Fe, if you haven’t heard the news, I’ve quit SFR (sorry to disappoint you, in case you were hoping I was dramatically fired) in order to move to sunny California. Gasp!

Rebel Allience

Good God—the musicians are organizing!

Alex De Vore
Within a day or so following the early morning OTAB meeting I discussed [music, Sept. 5: “Long Road A-ho”] many of the movers and shakers in our local music scene were beginning to organize the first ever Santa Fe Music Alliance.

Shop Value

There are things to be learned while slingin’ records

Alex De Vore
Thanks to the dual obstacles of being out of town and a certain punk rock icon not getting back to me in time, I find myself in the super-fun position of trying to pull an article out of thin air, while dealing with the cruel California sun and the realization that I simply cannot drink like I used to. Yikes.

Band-Aid

Forming an indie band for fun and profit

Alex De Vore
First of all, let’s give a big round of mental applause to the fine folks at Meow Wolf, T-Cubed (and SFR!) for the recent Passion Pit show. It was a pretty killer event that—get this—actually provided something for young people around here. That said, I’d like to discuss one of the openers, a band called Pacific Air.

Have Heart

Heartless Bastards’ Erika Wennerstrom on her band, overcoming writer’s block and how women fit into music

Alex De Vore
Austin-via-Cincinatti rock act Heartless Bastards is playing a totally awesome, totally free show as part of SFR’s Arts Festival. So I called up frontwoman Erika Wennerstrom and asked her some questions.

Long Road A-ho

Local nightlife ain’t perfect, but there are those working to make it better

Alex De Vore
Despite high attendance hopes, a recent meeting with Santa Fe’s Occupancy Tax Advisory Board (OTAB) and concerned citizens to discuss diminishing nightlife was a rather sedate affair. Of the 177 com

Everything in Its Right Place

Team Everything’s nailing it

Alex De Vore
If y’all don’t know Team Everything (and really, how would that even be possible?) you should probably be aware that the collective of musicians and artists are hard at work bringing local and national DJs together for all kinds of killer upcoming shows in our fair city. This is good news indeed, as TE has been taking things rather slow lately.

Guitar Heroes

Get ready to feel bad about yourself!

Alex De Vore
As I write this, I am one day away from my 20th guitar-playin’ anniversary. I mention  this not for conceited reasons, but because it got me thinking that there are quite a few outstanding guitarists in our city.

Glitch in the System

Where technology meets graphic art

Corey Johnson
Greetings! Art Director here with a dispatch from the world of graphic design. With some spiffy new SFR Arts Festival posters starting to go up pretty soon, I thought I’d take the opportunity to talk a bit about glitch art.

Punk As F*@%

I want to be stereotyped. I want to be classified.

Alex De Vore
In this town, you’ve gotta jump on the punk shows as quickly as you can. Thus, I went to check out local boys HN-88 and El Paso, Texas’ Antigone. I’ll say right now it wasn’t the greatest show I’ve ever been to in my life—frankly, I felt old while watching those young “punks” cavort around—but, as you’ll soon find out, I absolutely salute both The Underground and the bands for taking a punk rock stab in a town without pity.
