Music: Los Lonely Boys

When: Sat., Sept. 17 2011

Sixties throwbacks hailing from Texas, the Garza brothers, guitarist Henry, bassist JoJo and drummer Ringo, released their fourth full-length earlier this year, the stylistic mish-mash Rockpango. The music still trends AOR, the LP is like a classic rock radio sampler of late '60s/early '70s, with a slight Tex-Mex tinge, and lyrics aren't the brothers' strong suit, but there's no denying the Garza chops (Henry is a shredder in the Santana/Hendrix mode) or the excitement their fans seem to derive from the live gigs. With The Kicks.
