Beck plays unannounced show at Black Market's Dia de los Muertos art show!

Here's one that will go down in El Paso lore. Beck played an unannounced, impromptu gig at El Paso's own Black Market. I was heading to the Black Market for the Dia de los Muertos art show anyway, and got a tip from my buddy Zach Passero that Beck was there and was going to play a short gig. I didn't have a camera with me; I was at a store getting a new battery for my car. I quickly snapped up a $5 idiot camera and squeezed into the show. Beck played a 45-minute set on borrowed instruments, kicking it off with "Black Tambourine." Other songs included "Where It's At," "Devil's Haircut, "Que Onda Guero?, "Nicotine and Gravy," "Hell Yes" and tracks from his new album, The Information. Sorry for the image quality, but luckily Zach had his digital SLR with his, and promised to get me some photos to post. Wow! What a great night!!!!

Untitled work by Cesar Ivan

Here's a mixed-media work by El Paso artist Cesar Ivan. It's one of many featured featued at the El Paso Muesum of Art, now through December 10. I visited the show yesterday... definitely one to catch, and part of the Dia de los Muertos celebration here in El Paso. The SpAG (Space Available Art Gallery... located at 2419 North Stanton) is also featuring similar works by other El Paso artists through November 8. The Hal Marcus Gallery also has a Dia de los Muertos display. Photo courtesy of Cesar Ivan.
