A night of punk music and borderland storytelling is taking over the San Antonio Public Library this weekend.<\/p>\n
In what organizers describe as a blend of scholarship and live music, author Tara Martin L\u00f3pez will headline an event at 4 p.m. Saturday at the San Antonio Public Library central branch, centered around her book “Chuco Punk: Sonic Insurgency in El Paso.”<\/p>\n
The work draws from more than 70 interviews and archival research to explore the Chicanx punk scene in South Texas and how border and immigration policies helped shape its sound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Registration for the author talk is already full, but the evening will continue with a free, open-to-the-public punk show starting at 6 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
San Antonio band Sacred Games will lead the local lineup, joined by W.I.M.P. and Fatal Fatigue. Headlining the event are Del Rio-based group The Code 88s, known for channeling the high-energy, anti-oppression themes highlighted in Martin L\u00f3pez’s research.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Performances will take place on the top floor of the library’s parking garage, with no registration required to attend the concert.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A night of punk music and borderland storytelling is taking over the San Antonio Public Library this weekend.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[138,140,139],"class_list":["post-223431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-el-paso","tag-el-paso","tag-el-paso-headlines","tag-el-paso-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
