Some Gospel

By: Laurie Gallardo

San Angelo-born artist Oscar Ornelas has twenty years of experience behind him as both songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. That’s twenty years of blood, sweat, tears and soul going into every project he’s dedicated himself to, and it’s all made crystal clear on Ornelas’ latest fiery solo release, Some Gospel.

Dig the gospel and beyond as Ornelas kicks off his new Monday night residency tonight at Stay Gold, 1910 E. Cesar Chavez. The show starts at 9:30 p.m. Kickin’ Monday to the curb, baby. Recommended.

Watch It Burn

Prepare to be transported into fantasy realm/space lore territory of Frank Frazetta proportions, but leaning more toward Ursula K. Guin and Octavia E. Butler reimagining human existence.

We Intend To Cause Havoc

As if WITCH weren’t already badass enough, the band’s name is an acronym for We Intend To Cause Havoc. A dream come true. And they did cause havoc in the best way possible, at the forefront of an early ’70s Zambian movement known as Zamrock, mixing traditional African sounds with psych, soul, funk and rock. […]
