Fri, Mar 30th, 8-10pm, Gypsy Dance – The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra - “We Make Really Party” EP release
"The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra play gypsy rock, folk funk music and create a "Wall of Sound" that would make Phil Spector proud. The song, "XO Tango," with an incredible violin solo, brought the house down."
- Michael Sangiacomo, The Cleveland Plain Dealer
The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra are a collection of musicians, linked by common sonic journeys and familial ties It doesn’t matter much how they got here, but rather that they are traveling with each other. Now they are here in the room with you, the way music in the folk tradition always is, to bring people together; to share real flesh, blood and feeling.
WE MAKE REALLY PARTY is a 5 song EP that returns to the old world sounds the band became known for in its early years. With both original and reimagined roots and folk songs in English, Spanish and Italian WE MAKE REALLY PARTY captures the band playing live off the floor in a three day session after their 2016 summer tour. It is a record that is refined in both playing and production while honouring the band's past musically.
TMO have spent years weaving their stories with guitars and violins, with accordions and bass, with melodies and music makers gleaned from their wanderings. Here are the troubadours to remind you that this music (no matter what kind of device it ends up on) could not exist without warm bodies in search of harmony. Bop till you drop !
