Friday night, August 30, 2008 ~
8pm ~ Tremeloco defies easy categorization - Americana, Latin,
roots, alt country all can be descriptive of their wide
variety of music... They say, “Los Angeles and California
mean many things to so many people. Chuck Berry’s Promised
Land, Bukowski’s L.A. from a forgotten era, East L.A.,
Hollywood, South Central, Deserts, Beaches, Oil Fields and
Orchards. What does music sound like from a place like this?
To it’s warm embrace and fertile ground were drawn Dust Bowl
refugees, Migrant Farmers, Cowboys, and Blue Bloods alike,
bringing with them the rhythms and soul of home. What grew
was Bakersfield Country, West Coast Jazz, Western Swing,
Mexican Border Radio, Country/Rock etc…” Dulcinea (their
latest album) was the idealized woman of Don Quixote’s
imagination. Referring to someone as your “Dulcinea”
implies hopeless devotion. Love and music are a bit like
that, an idealized never-ending journey. Their songs
describe this sort of musical and romantic crossing. From a
Georgia rain to a serendipitous passing on a New Orleans
streetcar, from Las Cruces, New Mexico to the Louisiana Gulf
Coast, from L.A. to Mexicali. Listen closely and you’ll hear
it. Wade through the textures, styles, and genres and you’ll
feel it until you end up back home.
No open stage tonight.
Admission is $8, doors open at 7:15pm, music starts at 8pm.
