Crafting an art-damaged and intense presence, the group's sound falls somewhere between The Animals, Motown and The Kinks. In person, the groups soft-spoken demeanor instills a sense of alluring mystery, but on stage, Gringo Star explode. Never ones to hang on to the same instruments for too long, each member of the group sprints and hurdles from station to station, swapping out guitar for bass for drums for voice, keyboard for accordion, kazoo for tambourine. As a result, the band's multifaceted musicianship culminates in dense and cerebral rock mantras that are hard-wired to the head and heart.
