"What started as a gig’s worth of material for a residency for Austin-based Latin funk band Brownout — a set of Black Sabbath covers — became an album and another identity for these vatos. And before you get all “Wha’? Ozzie and congas??” on me, let me tell you that there is an entire generation of Latinos who grew up with both crunchy heavy metal guitars and cumbias. Brownout channels that unlikely combo, which immediately moves your hips and makes you want to do that heavy metal head bang. There is a ton of cross-cultural theory behind this, but ultimately it just friggin’ rocks!! And that’s enough, verdad? —Felix Contreras”
Agreed! I'm really looking forward to this set thinking it may be one of the most fun sets of the weekend. A funked up Black Sabbath sing along.
If they're smart, they'll give it the same slot as Bustle after the Superjam, so that anyone who wants to hang out after and sing some Sabbath can.
Exactly what I was thinking! This would be a perfect thing to with my Saturday night. Between this and Atomic Bomb! we're gonna have some serious dancing to do!
Haven't they already played a Roo? The same year that Grupo Fantasma backed up the GZA?
they're essentially the same band
On that note, Adrian (guitar) plays in Spanish Gold along with Patrick (drums) from My Morning Jacket. They're just one piece away from having Spanish Gold on the farm and he lives in Nashville. Here's to hoping!
