Borracho with The Brought Low and El Grande - Live at the Velvet Lounge May 7 at 9pm

DC stoner rock heads Borracho  host a night of hard rocking, headbanging, beer drinking chaos at Velvet Lounge on May 7. Bringing their soulful southern swing to the proceedings is NYC’s best and most consistently badass rockers The Brought Low. The Brought Low are out in support of their brand new album “Third Record” on Small Stone Recordings. They are fresh off of a commanding performance at Small Stone’s showcase at SXSW 2010 in Austin, and burning bright. Rounding out the bill will be Maryland’s El Grande.

Borracho is coming off of the completion of the recording of their long-suffered, tirelessly crafted, eagerly anticipated debut record. Band members Steve and Mario, formerly from the iconic Adam West, joked about the process – much unlike the write it, record it, tour it approach they were used to. “Drum tracks were complete last June, so I’ve been relaxing” says Mario, while Steve chimes in “it’s not easy creating a life’s masterpiece!” amidst chuckles. The band actually debuted on a split 7″ single with Adam West. The limited edition release of “Rectify” on No Balls Records (Germany) hinted at what the band has in store in their upcoming release. Find a copy on eBay or download it on their myspace page.
The Brought Low should be recognized for what they are – quite simply a top notch class act with nothing to prove. Michael Toland from The Big Takover creams “Previous albums have been excellent, but Third Record takes the group to a whole ‘nother level, indisputably placing the Brought Low in the ranks of the Great American Bands.”  No surprise that a band like this delivers the goods live, and are sure to be the highlight of the night. DC rock purists should not miss a rare chance to catch these guys right here in town.

Classic Hard Rock Comes to the Mid-Atlantic

May 26, 2009 – 8:57 pm

Summer 2009 Borracho Mid-Atlantic Tour
Washington, DC – May 19, 2009 – Brand new heavy music will be the feature for three nights in June when Portland Maine’s Sun Gods in Exile join Washington DC’s Borracho in Richmond, DC, and Frederick, MD in support of Sun Gods’ debut album Black Light White Lines.

Beginning June 11 at Nara Sushi in Richmond, VA, the two bands will take their show to The Red and The Black in DC on June 12, and on to Krug’s Place in Frederick MD on June 13.

While Sun Gods are known in their native Maine and the northeast, this is their first jaunt to the mid-Atlantic. Their debut album will be released on June 9, on Small Stone Records and will be followed by a flurry of shows, of which these three are the first. But they are no strangers to the road, having played SXSW in March, shared stages with contemporaries in Maine and Massachussetts, and members having served time in the monolithic Maine band Ocean and Boston’s Cortez.

Black Lights White Lines is described by stonerrock.com as “straightforward classic hard rock that’s pretty much solely preoccupied with cheap booze, cheaper blow, dirty women, and good times,” and furthermore “This is what it would sound like if Ted Nugent stormed the stage at an Allman Brothers show and then proceeded to rip solos over everything; verses, choruses, intros, outros, everything. This is the sound of electric guitars sweating in the humidity of a hot August evening down in the bayou.” Not much more needs to be said about that. It needs to be heard to be experienced.

Borracho will be playing material from their forthcoming debut record, which is currently being recorded in an undisclosed location in Arlington, VA. The band includes members of local rock ambassadors Assrockers and Adam West, but don’t expect the same swaggering tongue-in-cheek hard rock. Borracho brings a darker and more brooding style to the proceedings. They released a 7” split single with Adam West in October 2008. This limited edition release of “Rectify” on No Balls Records (Germany) hints at what the band has in store in their upcoming release.
