With heart-stopping grooves and breath-taking musicianship,
the B-Side Players traverse a seemingly
endless road. It begins at the Mexican border and stretches northward
through Los Angeles to the Bay Area; to the Pacific Northwest; then
southward back across the arid deserts to Arizona, New Mexico and
points beyond.
Relentless touring has won the band a rapidly multiplying audience;
a veritable rainbow of fans -- all races, all ages. "We'll have
young kids at our shows say, 'Next time I'm going to bring my parents!'"
laughs front man/vocalist, Karlos.
Steeped in the Afro-Cuban tradition, the B-Side
Players individual members have been raised on styles ranging
from traditional Mexican and church music; plus absorbing jazz, reggae,
hip-hop and healthy doses of punk rock. "Beethoven to Curtis
Mayfield," says Karlos. "One side of the band is college-educated,
deep into music theory; the other side is the street orientation --
the soul. We're putting it together."
