New Music West Festival 2008 is proud to present Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra at The Biltmore Cabaret
The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra is a young Victoria band that plays a unique style of acoustic dance music that people call "gypsy ska". Think Manu Chao meets Yan Teirsen. Riding the energy of a series of sold out shows and a very well received debut EP, entitled The First EP, the band is currently in the studio writing and recording their first full length album, to be released in April of 2008. While their roots are very much in the west coast, their influences are varied and growing. Paul Wolda, having studied the Djembe since the age of 7, lays down hypnotic tribal beats as well as smooth Brazilian Portuguese vocals. El Mapache, on accordion, brings the Spanish influence with flamenco rhythms and soaring lead vocals - in both Spanish and English. The energy of these two founding members drives the band but the talent does not stop there. They are joined and expertly supported by guitarist, Kurt Loewen and bassist, Peter Mynett, whose evident musical experience provides a solid framework on which the music is built. The sound is completed by multi-instrumentalist Patrick M'Gonigle with his crafted fiddle melodies that are equal parts Mozart and David Gilmour.
