The Latin Alternative Hangover - at Southpaw - TONIGHT - 8/5
The Latin Alternative Hangover features three of New York City's best Latin Alternative acts, tonight, Thursday, Aug 5th, at Southpaw, located at 125 Fifth Ave, BKNY.
Doors open at 8:00pm, with a $8 cover charge.
All 3 bands on the bill have roots in either the Dominican Republic or Venezuela. And while this is not a highly-anticipated Caribbean World Series face-off, it is in fact a night of great music from 3 outstanding homegrown acts performing live.
Lineup:
La Ruta

"...arty, Police-like pop, punched up with Caribbean folk rhythms." - NY Daily News
Pioneers of the local Rock en Español scene, La Ruta was formed in the early '90s by three Dominican musicians based in New York City. Originally a tropical/rock hybrid, the band later leaned a bit more on the rock part of their sound, while maintaining their gift for rhythm and melodic songwriting intact.
El Pueblo
http://www.myspace.com/elpueblosound
Started by Robert Julian and Lucas Leto in the summer of 2004 while attending Berklee College of Music, El Pueblo is a reggae/dub outfit with elements of jazz and latin music. The band just released their first full length album, the delicious Isla.
Rafael Gomez
http://www.myspace.com/rafaelgomez
A Venezuelan guitarist, singer and songwriter with a fresh and unique style, Rafael Gomez's first solo album, El Norte, blends latin alternative beat, bossa nova, cumbia, funk and rock with a Caribbean flavor, tasteful arrangements and original lyrics that combine social consciousness with Spanish-language slang and humor.
