Concert Round-Up: Karma Edition
By Sarah Carlson
May 9, 2007
It isn't often that Abilene plays host to a band that has had a major hit in the past decade, so imagine our surprise when we learned Los Lonely Boys will play at 9 p.m. tonight at Cowboys, 1850 S. Clack St. The San Angelo band is best known for its blend of rock and Tejano, 2004 self-titled album and its hit single, "Heaven." Tickets: $20
Cool fact for the day: Los Lonely Boys join Green Day, U2, R.E.M and more on Amnesty International's CD "Instant Karma: The Campaign to Save Darfur." Each artist covers a John Lennon song, with the Boys tackling "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night," which you can download on iTunes along with several other tracks before "Instant Karma" hits stores June 12. Ninety-eight percent of all revenue from downloads will go directly to Amnesty's work in Darfur. -- SC
