Brownout
Named one of Austin, Texas' 'Best Live Acts' by the Austin Chronicle. Brownout performs the nastiest Latin-funk music out today. This band of "party rocking legends" was resurrected from the same tequila soaked border town explosion that originated the highly acclaimed Latin powerhouse Grupo Fantasma. Fresh off the worldwide release of their debut album "Homenaje" on the UK's prestigious Freestyle Records, the band has made waves internationally amongst DJ's, tastemakers and good music fans alike. Their previous two vinyl only releases are already underground classics.
Brownout is an 8 piece ensemble complete with 2 guitars, bass, no nonsense Latin percussion, and the "Best Horn Section" 2 years in a row at the Austin Music Awards. Throwback, but not copycat retro, their music is timeless and honest, keeping the spirit of 70s afro-Latin and funk music alive while honoring their South Texas roots.
