LATIN ROCKERS DEL CASTILLO & DESOL
JOIN FORCES FOR DECEMBER TOUR OF TEXAS

Texas based Del Castillo have invited New Jersey based counterparts deSol to join them in their home-state of Texas for a for a seven date run in early December including stops in Austin, Dallas, Ft. Worth, Corpus Christi, Lubbock, and more. The tour will close out a very busy year for both bands and serves as a fitting prelude to a momentous 2006 which will see new CD releases and national tours from both bands.

Austin based Del Castillo has been at the forefront of the revived Latin Rock scene in Texas since their formation in 2000. With a solid foundation based on the flamenco-style guitars of brothers Rick and Mark del Castillo, the band pushes the boundaries of traditional Latin music. Since their inception, Del Castillo has been awarded numerous honors including “Austin Band of the Year” and “Album of the Year” by the Austin Chronicle, and “Independent Band of the Year” by ASCAP. The band has also earned an appearance on the ABC sitcom The George Lopez Show and inclusion on soundtracks for the movies Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Del Castillo who has recently shared the stage with Ozomatli and Los Lobos will continue their tour throughout 2006 in support of their third studio album to be released in April 2006.

Joining Del Castillo on their trip across the expanse of Texas will be up and coming Latin rockers deSol, who hail from Asbury Park, New Jersey. Although their hometown is better known as the home of Bruce Springsteen, deSol has made their own indelible mark on the local music scene by introducing Latin music into New Jersey’s musical lexicon. deSol will travel across the country to join Del Castillo; but the band is no stranger to Texas, particularly Austin, where earlier this year they performed a sold-out SXSW showcase as well as a blistering set at the prestigious Austin City Limits Festival. The past year has seen their debut single Karma climb all the way up to #3 on the AAA radio charts along with successful tours with the likes of R.E.M. and Los Lonely Boys. deSol hopes to continue their success by releasing a live CD in 2006.

* Los Super Vatos will be performing on select dates.
