Event Description

Originally a New York band, Uli & the Gringos split for the west coast about a year and a half ago, and have built quite a name for themselves in the local LA scene. Well, now they’re baaaack with new material, and you can catch ‘em this Thursday night, playing with other local faves Rana Santacruz and the one and only DJ Papichulo. Consider it a reunion of sorts–the best kind of reunion!

About the bands:

“Uli added the gringos 3 years ago while promoting her first album entitled Simple in NYC. Produced by Eugene Toale (Kanye West, Brandy, Raekwon) of the Gringos, the album featured the single “Esperandote” and ran out of it’s original pressing. They earned their “street cred” playing Nacotheque and packed Saturday nights at the Knitting Factory and Crash Mansion (NYC) before packing up and heading to the West Coast. Immediately upon arriving in Los Angeles, Uli joined Julieta Venegas and her band and toured with her in Europe and Latin America. Now the tour is over and Uli & The Gringos are excited to present Metropolis, their new EP recorded in New York, Mexico City, and Los Angeles.” – Uli& the Gringos MySpace

“Rana Santacruz is a Mexican musician who lives in Brooklyn, NY. His music has been called “Mexican Bluegrass” or “Irish Mariachi” with a dose of rock and alternative. His sound starts in Ireland, runs through Appalachia, swings through New Orleans, and careens across most of Mexico. The acoustic instrumentation includes cajon, upright bass, accordion, guitar, banjo, jarana, violin and trumpet. He cites his main influences as The Pogues, Tom Waits, Chavela Vargas, Agustin Lara, son jarocho, tambora, and folk music in general.”-  ranasantacruz.com
