It’s late dusk in the one-gas-station town of Budville, New Mexico, and the mesas are fading to silhouettes. The nearest city, Albuquerque, is out of view some 60 miles east. But it’s a lively scene at the Budville rodeo grounds, where a major share of the nearby Laguna Pueblo Indian Reservation is here to honor their metal heritage at Buckfest, a two-day music festival featuring 20 hard rock acts. Topping tonight’s roster are diosas of thrash, the Suspended.

Comment by Chroma Studios on December 16, 2008 at 4:47pm: This is really cool! I remember years ago when they first started the band. One of the girls, (Amanda?) was a guitar student of my husband's at West Mesa HS. We booked them to play a gig at the Harwood Art Center opening for my brother's band. They were nervous, but I remember thinking that these girls were going somewhere! Congrats to them for the publicity!
