From country to metal, rock to Tejano, here's your roundup of live music, DJs and karaoke to put a song in your heart through Oct. 20.

Tejon Street Corner Thieves

Sure, the guys in Colorado Springs-based Americana rock band Tejon Street Corner Thieves like the sounds of their ramshackle instruments.

But to be honest, there are other considerations behind the jerry-rigged washboards and makeshift drums: "We're all a ragtag group. We're all pretty poor," singer Connor O'Neal laughed.

Fortunately, the financial realities align nicely with the aesthetic of the band, which returns to town for a 10 p.m. Saturday show at Golden Light Cantina, 2908 S.W. Sixth Ave.; cover is $7. Amarillo bands Playa Lake and The Toronto Mayors will open.

"We have punk roots, so we've figured out a way to incorporate that in our old-time blues and ragtime sound," O'Neal said. "We figure, we'll just take what we've got. Our kickdrum is a suitcase. The washboard has a rigged cymbal on it and a couple of pots and pans."

As befits their hardscrabble appearance, the band is no stranger to roughing it.

"We started playing (together) by busking downtown to get food money, beer money — the necessities — and it just kind of took off from there," O'Neal said. "We got some media attention and started booking some shows and realized we had something, so we kept going with it.

"Now, we're to the point where we're touring pretty regularly and getting some offers from some record labels and distribution deals, but we've turned them all down so far."

O'Neal started playing banjo at age 13 and is happy to see another resurgence of interest in the band's roots-drenched sound.

"We got lucky enough to have a tradition that's been forgotten finally come back around and work out for us," he said.
