Music

Local promoters have done a bad job of bringing down a variety of acts.  However, most bands probably wouldn't be a good fit for the Laredo Energy Arena.  One Laredoan would like to see The Black Keys (so would I) play here but his comment to the Pro8news reporter says it all:

...that's not going to happen.

The Black Keys are going to appear in Texas later this year at the Austin City Limits Music Festival.  They could be brought to Laredo but a smaller venue would be more practical.
 
I'm making plans to see Rush in San Antonio this September.  I'm going to have to miss one day of work and shell out money for a motel.  Bummer.
Someday somebody is going to have to step up to the plate and change musical attitudes around here.
