Big Horse Lounge 2002

"In the shadow of the Double Door, "Big Horse is a testing ground for bands to get into bigger venues," says Guerra. Of Ecuadorian descent, he has been working with the lounge for a few years, booking alt-country, punk, and rock bands. He also has his own promotions company -- Quest Management -- and considers the Latin bands on par with their English-language rock counterparts. The opening salvo of Latin rock at the Big Horse -- with Descarga and El Guapo warming up the crowd for Zamandoque Tarahum -- came to pass with a call from band manager and promoter Sandra Treviño. "As long as they're good and promote themselves, I'm open to booking more," Guerra points out."
