Bio
Like nothing you’ve ever seen before; three dirt-faced gringo brothers from the bottom of the world (Melbourne, Australia), each strapped with a razor-edged guitar, a kick drum the size of a small car, and a donkey-load of foot percussion, summoning a drunken punch of mariachi rock n roll soul music, laying claim to be the world’s only surviving triple-one-man-band..., the world’s biggest one-man-band…
Possessing an innate ability to lock into rhythm and deliver their sonic party mayhem with astonishing mellifluous synchronization and skill, like an overloaded home-made taco, the group put on an intensely energetic and formidable live show which must be seen to be believed. Singing and wailing in poorly learned Spanish, smashing their
guitar stocks against broken cymbals and each operating an array of instruments simultaneously, any other 3 men in the world would simply shatter to pieces attempting such a ridiculous yet incredible feat.
Debut album Queso Y Cojones was released independently in April 2010 and gained major support from community radio and media around Australia, shooting the group to the attention of hundreds of new fans and prompting a European record deal with Rookie/Cargo Records for release in January 2011. They will embark on their first major European tour early 2011 with promoters Jostone Traffic (Andre Williams, Radio Birdman) and Truemmer Bookings (Bob Log, Tav Falco).
These three wanna-be-mexicans are here paying homage to their hero’s of outlaw rock and roll, soul, and Mexican folk music, it’s a heady mix you will need a good healthy heart to deal with. They summon the long dead spirits of Ritchie Valens, Nathaniel Mayer, The Bar Kays, Pedro Vargas,… from the clubs of Detroit Soul City, to the stench of New York punk dives, and the street music of dusty Mexico. They’ll spit at the floor and steal cigarettes from you, pass you their bottle of beer to share, throw you a maraca to shake, and probably wink at your girlfriend, and you’ll love every moment.
