DEL CASTILLO RETURNS TO L.A. FOR ONE NIGHT AT VINE STREET LOUNGE

Del Castillo, the Austin-based Flamenco rock sextet that has taken their native Texas by storm is returning to Los Angeles for a rare intimate show at The Vine Street Lounge, Peter Zamani’s new nightlife den in the heart of Hollywood. The band will perform on Tuesday, October 10. A true cross-cultural phenomenon, Del Castillo has transcended its local base, sharing stages with Ozomatli, Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys, deSol, Kinky, and other name acts both in Texas and throughout the U.S. In a recent live review The Hollywood Reporter praised the band’s “hybrid sound and killer guitar work... acoustic six-strings, weaving plenty of syncopation and "Flight Of The Bumblebee"-speed performances into a Tex-Mex blend of rock, Flamenco, soul and -- very briefly -- Middle Eastern textures.”

With a repertoire of original songs in Spanish, English and “Spanglish,” the group has played three of Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnics and Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival, and they've been featured on numerous television shows including The George Lopez Show, LATV and American Latino TV with Porque Amamos La Música marking their debut in Mexico. They have also been active in film with their music heard in such features as "Kill Bill, Vol. 2,""Once Upon A Time In Mexico" and "Spy Kids 3D: Game Over" and the upcoming release “The Cry,” based on the legend of La Llorona.

Brotherhood, released late last spring, is both a critical and commercial success. The Albuquerque Tribune noted, “Brotherhood captures the essence and collective virtuosity of Del Castillo.” Billboard’s review of Brotherhood cited the band’s ability to pull together “Latin music’s romance and rock’s grit.” “Del Castillo sizzled, delivering tight musicianship, passionate showmanship from lead singer Alex Ruiz and an intoxicatingly rhythmic combination of flamenco, Latin rock, blues and some R&B,” exulted the Dallas Morning News in a review of the band in recent concert performance.
