Los Albertos
"
Listen up and you can hear the ghosts of Lee Perry hanging out with Joe Strummer whilst Count Basie drops by with Carlos Santana and chews the fat about Ian Dury and all the Madness in the air! – a riotous flurry of horn-driven ska, drum and bass, and swing, capped off by a cheeky persona, naughty lyrics, but with a thoroughly contemporary feel. It's dance music, Jim. But not as we know it...

Since their formation Los Albertos have been creating a frenzy upon the dance floors and grassy fields of Europe with their inimitable foot-stompin’, brass-blarin’, and rip snortin’ high energy blend of ska, punk, funk, dub and original beats. Drawing upon a peculiarly twisted English humour (where The Comic Strip meets League of Gentlemen) this six-piece throw in some dynamite horn, guitar and drum action. Their first album, Los Bop, contained such classics as Cheeky Rascal, Bossman, Mr Chip and Pikey Killed My Goldfish. In 2006 they released a new 12-track album Information Overload, with killer tunes such as Friends, Heal, Leavin’ the Band, Scientist, Resist and Beer Panic.Already they have gained a big and loyal following with gigs at many of the best festivals in the United Kingdom and Europe including Glastonbury, Beautiful Days, Shambhala, Larmer Tree, Spraoi and Lovebox Weekender. And their residency at Brighton’s Joogleberry is the stuff of legend. 2007 was another busy year for this hard working band, playing over 100 gigs including a three week trip to Italy, a residency at the infamous Late’n’Live at the Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh, a couple of UK tours, and headline shows at the Brighton Fringe Festival, Bath Fringe Festival, Lost Vagueness and Secret Garden Festival. 2008 will see them do the same plus release a new album (with producer Al Scott), and continue their onward march into Europe with the simple aim of spreading their big, bouncy and happy vibes…

the story so far...
best industry quotes
Part nice men from next door, part cheeky rascals, all fun, Los Albertos lit the festival fuse with a Spiegeltent-packing, foot-stomping, rip snorter… playing ska-based dance music of the highest order – the guitarist ranges from chicken scratch to Carlos Santana, saxs’ and horn go from wall of brass via horn stabs to klezma reediness, the bass is fat and solid, and the drummer is just superb. The lyrics are tight, contemporary and a bit naughty – perfect!
Spreading more good vibes than a dancing monkey handing out tequila shots
A band to make you smile and keep you bouncing all night long, this is original happy ska with a sound something akin to The Specials, with a modern-day flavour
