LOS PACAMINOS AT THE ASTOR THEATRE
September 2, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
£23
Placing themselves squarely in the Americana genre, Los Pacaminos must be the first Tex-Mex band to have formed in the UK. Growing from an idea put forward by solo artist Paul Young, the band was formed in 1992 to appease Paul’s desire to be once again a part of a band a la The Q-Tips, pick up a guitar again, and not be the centre of attention.
Originally the band’s longevity was expected to be short, with all the members having other bands and Paul about to start recording again, but the draw proved irresistible and Los Pacaminos gigs were squeezed in as many gaps as possible. After pressure from the growing fan base for some product, in 2002 the band went on to record their first album “Los Pacaminos”, shortly after their first e.p. “Shadows on The Rise” gained heavy rotation on the UK’s first Country Music Station. The self-titled album had 12 all-original songs which gained rave reviews, even favourably compared to Mexican accordionist Flaco Jimenez’ then-current release.
