Prisoners of Love at Amigos Cantina 8 18 07

Amigos Cantina            District and Gosford           398 1300

  Well, I gotta say this is probably the most pro band I've ever seen at Amigos,  Man they sounded good, their sound mix was wonderful,  Every player was truly pro. A great band, no two ways about it, yes, I'd see them anytime. Truly great!

  With Jerry Carbajal, on percussion, Dan Mablot, on guitar, Nano Hernandez , on keys, Tim Murray ,the great singer, Art Carbajal, played the fat soundin'' bass,  and Eddy Tevino, on drums.

  People I can't say enough...on how good this band is!  they play a mix of songs from Rancheras to Tower of Power music with great expertise. Had everyone there jumpin' in their seats, The singer is truly a great singer, interfaced with the audience so very well,  The girls dancin' weren't fallin' on him!, as he claimed!!  Allot of singers just say the words, Tim sings with a great vibrato and in tune and has a funny attitude in his performance that shines thru, although he doesn't like beer signs shinin' on him when he sings,  but that's besides the point. he puts out, man!

  For 11 years this band has been jammin' round town, they're from East Bakersfield.  The standout songs included,  Miss You,  Get Your Back Against The Wall, Smooth, BiBiBomBom, Best of My Love, Santana's, Twisted and I think that was Samba Por Ti,   and, So Very Hard To Know, Low Rider, and Brick House, but every damn song they played was simply great, with a bottom so thick one could walk on it ,and vocals so clear you could hear them thru the clickin' glasses,  and the harmonies as well. A guitar player that sounded as good as Carlos Santana,  and the keys of an angel, This band could be the NBC band on Jay Leno.

  Tim is a great blues singer,  They must have allot of experience cuz it shows in how good they sound. and I'm not just makin' this up, you should have been there.   "There may have been better songs played by different bands there, but never a song played better"  That's what I say and it's true,  I speak Spanish for a garbacho, so I dug the Spanish songs they played during the sets, My god their 1st set was 55 minutes long,  from 7;30pm to about 12am they completely took over the place.     I look forward to seeing this band again.  Guess I'm tryin' to say they,  ROCK!
