“Some bands write songs, but Aztlan Underground composes storms.” LA WEEKLY

Rockotitlan Chicago Presents:

Socially conscious world-renowned Aztlan Underground, an institution among Los Angeles groups and free thinkers. For nearly 20 years, Joe “Peps” (bass, rattle, flutes), Ignacio “Caxo” Lopez (drums), Yaotl (vocals, percussion) and Alonzo Beas (guitar, keyboard, synth) have cultivated a grassroots audience across the world, intriguing foreign audiences with their respect for the ancient ways and songs of ancestors mixed with the modern, industrial sounds of today.

Aztlan Underground, a record that is a spectrum of urban tribalism mixed with post-punk fusion. To the band: “This album is a call out, a document, a cry, of love for humanity and for the Earth.” Just as nature’s forces work to balance, Aztlan Underground is a merging of guitar, bass, drum, voice, and flute sounds implemented into a modern day context.
