Tonight: Brujas del Sol @ Cafe Bourbon Street

For those who like to make “Bands to Watch” lists, may I kindly submit Brujas del Sol, a new-ish stoner rock trio comprised of Adrian Lee Zambrano (guitars/vocals), Derrick White (bass) and Jason Green (drums), for consideration?

Definitely a band I’M going to be watching (and listening to) in 2012.

Moonliner Vol.1 – recorded by our friends over at Electraplay Studio – is the first of 3 planned EPs that the band plans to release in the next few months and can be downloaded (name your own price) at http://brujasdelsol.bandcamp.com/.

Brujas del Sol performs tonight at Cafe Bourbon Street with Big Shot and Feature Films.
