Col from the band Joined John in the studio to chat all thing Mezcaltones and the 3rd Release " Mexican hillbilly Surf Music "
The band's third album finds them at the top of their game with brilliantly written and played originals along with a tasteful selection of covers lifted from their live set. Recorded and mixed in just over a week at Damien Gerard's new expanded studios on the Central Coast, the album stands as their most cohesively accessible and sonically pleasing to date.
And now to the band - Just what is it about the Mezcaltones-
Four guys dressed as cowboys and two women dressed like Spanish Mexican Senoritas that you might find in a Quentin Tarantino movie - two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer a Crazy front man and a beautiful dancer/percussionist. Whilst their original songs have an alt country flavour with rich Cowboy guitar sounds reminiscent of another century the guitar tones also reach into the realms of 60’s surf instrumentals
