When Sunday afternoon rolls around, 5-7pm, KLAQ blasts out two hours of the latest rock releases & we shine the spotlight on amazing local talent from El Paso & across the Borderland. We call this 2 hour block: Q-Connected.

It's a very special episode because this one falls on the VERY FIRST DAY of 2023 (Happy New Year!)! And what better way to celebrate than blasting out some truly amazing El Paso artists like The Mars Volta,

the Pissing Razors,

Sparta,

and other artists that had a SPECTULAR 2022: Circa Arcana, The 1-800, Late Night Drive Home, Yolotli are all featured on the bill for this week among many other great names from El Paso. You can see some other local artists who, in my opinion, had a really fantastic 2022 HERE.

And we're not done showing love to Texas; we have a ton of great Texas bands with new songs including Austin's Empty Trail,

San Antonio's Kingdom Collapse,

Dallas's Messer,

Stephenville's Giovannie & The Hired Guns, who went from being unsigned to signed onto Warner Music in 2022. They're certainly not the only Texas artist that had a fantastic 2022. You can see some more amazing Texas artists to check out right here and a part two here.

We also have new songs from Whiskey Myers, Koe Wetzel, Devora, Turnstile & more.

If you're from El Paso, within 200 miles of El Paso, or Texas, you can send me your music for the show at daniel.paulus@townsquaremedia.com
