CD release party for Brownout's new CD, "Aguilas and Cobras," at the Mohawk tonight. This second CD continues the success of "Homenaje" but with more "Hardcore Psychedelic Latin Funk," more rhythm and more beat. "Aguilas and Cobras" puts Brownout in a new category, from local/regional band to worldwide wonder. New fans and more musical industry interest will be garnered as a result of this CD. I hear the Grammys calling, Brownout, answer the call!
"Aguilas and Cobras" official release is September 15, 2009 on Six Degrees Records. Rock y Roll Radio, internet radio, had the privilege of listening to the CD and was blown away beginning with the intro of the first song and continued to the last note of the last track. Wow! "Aguilas and Cobras" is a must have album for you music library.
Rock y Roll Radio had heard some buzz about La Guerrilla, a local Austin, Texas band. So when they were scheduled to play at theMohawk, Rock y Roll Radio made it a point to be there.
La Guerrilla consist of eight members: Enrique Rumiche-songwriter, vocalist and guitar; Liza McCown-violinist and vocalist; Marc Sustaita-trumpet; Nathaniel Natal-bass and accordion; Joseph Loney-percussionist; Nick Warrenchuck-trombone; Efrain-Latin percussion; and Grayson Legere-live support. The band plays a combination of rock, ska, idie with a definite Latin flavor. One of the aspects that also gives the band a distinct sound is the inclusion of the violin. Their energy and stage presence gets the audience involved and dancing. After they finished their set, the audience wanted more, "otra!" A couple of the songs that made an impression on the crowd that night were "Tabla Surfer" and "El Matador."
La Guerrilla is a relatively new band and strongly recommend you catch a performance because they will go far. At present, they are working on a CD which should be out in October. Looking forward to seeing them again soon. Check their La Guerrilla MySpace page of show dates.
If you're a fan of Cypress Hill, then you definitely know B-Real. Austin Vida filmed B-Real at the Mohawk Club in Austin, Texas. Watch the video and then go to Austin Vida and read the interview.
