Los Gatos Blancos Biography

Los Gatos Blancos' third album has been a labor of love 3 years in the making. Combining revamped material from their humble beginnings with new songs which have never been performed live, Mi Espanol es Feo reflects the band's roots and progression through years of writing, recording and performing together. In keeping with LGB's tongue-in-cheek attitude, the album title pokes fun at Dave and Jim's Spanish skills (or lack thereof) and the guero-style approach to honing their own hybrid of Latin Jazz and Flamenco guitar playing that they consider "Latin Fusion". With songs inspired by the members' recent life events and development as musicians, the expansive melodic landscape and complementary rhythmic underpinnings of Mi Espanol es Feo create rich narrative journeys without ever saying a word. Press Play, turn up the volume, and come along for the ride...the music is anything but feo! The duo's musical backgrounds are not immediately apparent when listening to Los Gatos Blancos' brand of instrumental Latin Fusion; to say that their musical style has changed over the years is an understatement. Both Dave and Jim cut their teeth in the San Diego musical scene over the last few decades playing rumbling, drop-tuned guitar rock in clubs ranging from 4th and B and The BellyUp to tiny dive bars that no longer exist. Dave played lead and rhythm guitars in Britton, Secret Society, Black Sunshine, Skinbag and Freak Magnet and Jim was the lead singer in HoneyChild, The Alternatives, Skinbag and Freak Magnet. The two joined forces in 1998 and have consistently jammed together in one re-incarnation or another ever since, developing a musical connection that can only result from years of friendship and artistic growth together. Los Gatos Blancos emerges as the latest and most accessible culmination of their musical partnership. The music is available on Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, ReverbNation, Soundcloud, YouTube, Pandora, iHeartRadio,  Deezer, Shazam, 7digital,  and  CD Baby.
