International, Experimental, World Pop Alternative ensemble LA GUERRILLA features: Singer/guitarist Enrique Rumiche (Peru), drummer/samples Paul Joseph Loney (Texas), and horns/percussion/vocalist Zumbi (Jamaica), with Rudy Eccles (Barbados) on bass, Oscar Interiano (California) on Keys/vocals, and Marc Sustaita (Philly), and Josh Davies (Texas) on trumpets. After moving from Baton Rouge, LA, Rumiche recruited musicians in the Austin area and began working on a project called "Guerrilla of Lilliput". Not having a complete band, he wrote most of their material with the help of drum machines and samplers. Accompanied by friends on percussion, they began playing at coffee shops. In the Spring of 2008, they recorded a demo maxi single. Soon after they were performing at several city festivals, and local TV shows backed by a rotating group of musicians. By the end of the year they decided to become a full-fledged band, now known simply as LA GUERRILLA. Adding energetic showmanship, DIY theatrics, and an array of props (toy accordions, megaphones, and motorcycle helmets) to their shows; the new lineup began touring and creating a buzz around the Texas area. In January 2010 they released their self titled debut E.P. After playing at several local, and state festivals, Austin blogs took notice calling LA GUERRILLA "The Next Up and Coming Austin Band". On May 27th, 2010 their hometowns city council declared "La Guerrilla Day" in the City of Austin. Moreover, earlier in 2011 they were featured on NPR with their single "Ganas no me Faltan". After being featured on Telemundo, CBS, Fox, Univision, BestFestivals.net, The Austin american Statesman, the Austin Chronicle and more, now you can catch them on PANDORA and SPOTIFY radio. The band is currently working on their first videos, and on the pre production of their first Full Length coming up in the Fall of 2012.PERFORMED AT:Hot Sauce Festival 2011 (w/ The Bright Light Social Hour, Foot Patrol, Schmillion), Austin, TXBatfest 2011 (w/ Bob Schneider, Alpha Rev), Austin, TXGregoFest 2011, Lockhart, TX.Pachanga Fest 2011 (w/ Chingo Bling, Chico Mann), Austin, TXUnivision's Cinco de Mayo Block Party 2011 (w/ Vallejo, Ocote Soulsounds System), Austin, TXLouisiana Swamp Thing and Crawfish Festival 2011 (w/ George Clinton and P Funk), Buda, TXPan Americana Festival 2011 (w/ Ozomatli), Austin, TXViva La Vida Fest 2010, Austin, TXUna Noche de La Gloria Festival 2010 (w/ Bombasta, Pinata Protest), San Antonio, TXTexas Book Festival 2009 - 2010 (w/ Kinky Friedman), Austin, TXXemumba Festival 2009, Austin, TXFair Trade Film Festival 2010, Austin, TXPecan St. Festival 2008 - 2010, Austin, TXNX35 Festival 2009 (w/ Brave Combo), Denton, TXATX Converge Music Showcase 2009 (w/ Mothfight, White White Lights), Austin, TXPRESS REVIEWS:""Heralded by plethora of local bloggers as Austin's unofficial "Next Up-Coming Band" La Guerrilla's six man ensemble seamlessly fuses world and contemporary influences in an energetic display of unbridled style that is completely their own." Their toe-tapping mixture of acoustic punk, gipsy Latin, folk rock, ska techno struck a chord with the Austin City Council who recently made May 27th La Guerrilla Day. The piercing gipsy violin, reminiscent of Gogol Bordello, compliments the vocal diversity of singer Enrique Rumiche who employs the late spirit of Sublime frontman, Brad Nowell when belting out harmonies and vigorous interjections in both Spanish and English. The Hush folk-pop element in La Guerrillas repertoire completes their ability to create music that is both universally enjoyable and infinitely repeatable. " - TODO Austin Magazine"A big-band caravan led by transcontinental hustler Enrique Rumiche, La Guerrilla's combat rock en Español takes a subtle turn on second EP Adios Lala Land?. "Erika" busks with the simple sincerity of Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records, not unlike the ballad "Blueprint." Upbeat popper "High (Lilliput Mix)" gets a dance remix, but La Guerrilla knows when to break out the piñata, as evidenced by the three-quarter turn in "En Cualquier Momento," a gypsy ska number with a South American twist." - Austin Powell, The Austin Chronicle (Sep 08, 2011) " Throw any kind of descriptors at La Guerrilla Latin rock, funk, pop, soul, hip-hop and they'll all stick. But probably the best way to convey what the genre-bending six-piece sounds like is to put it this way: it's a band where members who individually love Gogol Bordello, Björk, Flaming Lips, At the Drive In and Chico Mann can feel at home with one another." - The Austin American StatesmanLa Guerrilla is one of my favorite new bands. They're just fun to watch. They have so much energy and they lack any pretense. Their music is a little bit Latin, a little bit punky. Kinda gyspsy, kinda South American. What I like most is that they're not afraid to experiment with different sounds.
