Upcoming Shows – Los Lobos
Seeing Los Lobos live should be on the Lifetime To-Do List of every music lover out there. Well into their fourth decade of making music together, with the same core lineup of friends / musicians since their start in East L.A. – David Hidalgo, Cesar Rojas, Louie Perez, Steve Berlin, and Conrad Lozano – these guys are as talented, tight, and dynamic as ever. They dip into several genres: blues, roots, latin, folk, traditional Mexican, and others. And if you haven’t heard their take on the Dead’s “Bertha”, you’re cheating only yourself, my friend.
Los Lobos – Bertha
Los Lobos is kicking off a tour on Friday night at Royce Hall at UCLA. Saturday night, they’ll be at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA. I’ll be catching them in a couple of weeks at the Mesa Arts Center in my neck of the woods (I’ll have a review up soon after).
Check out the tour dates, and go check out these legends when they come to your area. That’s an order. You’ll thank me.
Another Los Lobos classic…

Actually the 3.11 date is much closer to me. I’ll have to see about tickets (that particular venue tends to be on the extremely pricey side).
Fusion 45
Buyer Beware: When we saw them in Portland, OR a few years back they were excruciatingly loud (much to my surprise). A pair of appropriately pocketed ear plugs would be a good contingency toward your enjoyment. My friend, Robert Baird, who has covered them for years (most recently with Stereophile) tells me this is their MO.

Hmm, hasn’t been the case with any of the LL shows I’ve seen. But I haven’t seen ’em in more than ten years. But thanks for looking out for the ol’ eardrums!
Bring the noise!
