I'm a sucker for any band named after a work of literature. Los de Abajo take their name from Mariano Azuela's famous novel 'The Underdogs,' and that says a lot about who they are and the music they make.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's really hard to name a band.
I've got the big name, but I've always wanted to be in a band, one of a band.
There are incredible musicians around the world.
Edible names are what drives me as a musician. My next band will be called the Hot Dogs.
My roots and Victor's are jazz, basically, but these two young fellows that we have with us come out of rock bands. And they're tremendously exciting players.
We played some gigs in Switzerland a couple of weeks ago and it was the first time I really felt the group was really a band in the sense of something I could write for.
The band I've played with for 10 or 12 years now, we've been all over, but we mostly play in LA.
I've worked with a number of big bands, but there's nothing in life like the Basie band.
Our band doesn't really have a name.
Choosing a name for a band is always a difficult thing, and I don't think people should read too much into a name because, after all, it's just a handle. It doesn't mean anything.
