Paul Ramirez Band - Cactus Music, Houston TX - January 26, 2013


[Houston, TX] Latino in a ponytail, beard, and pearl snap button shirt singing and on electric guitarist. Latina in a miniskirt, traditional Mexican peasant top, and bedazzled sunglasses on bass guitar. Very pretty black boy in dreads on drums. Very pale white guy with shoulder length curls & sunglasses on keyboards. In other words, a Houston band. They bill themselves as an amalgam of ten different genres but they’re really pretty straightforward Texas blues. Technically, I’m not a fan of the genre (too much guitar and unnecessary slickness) but they did it well. The lead singer was appealing with pantomimes of ecstasy and pain, and a classic-rock butter-smooth voice. They had a big sound. Did do one jazzy keyboard song and a slower psychier song. They’re a quality band. (photo courtesy of band facebook page)
