Best Live Band in LA? Could be. Thee Commons this Wednesday

Since banding together in 2012, psychedelic cumbia-punk trio Thee Commons have made waves far beyond their hometown of East LA. Featuring los hermanos Pacheco,  these romp ‘n’ rollers have managed not only to marry unlikely genres – psychedelica, cumbia and punk - into perfect pastiche harmony.  They toured through the United States doing 35 shows in 32 days  in the Summer of 2016 and created a buzz with over 100 high energy performances.  They have performed at prestigious venues and festivals, including Echo Park Rising, Desert Daze, Viva Pomona, The Echoplex of Echo Park, The Regent Theatre of Downtown Los Angeles, the Roxy of West Hollywood and the Observatory of Santa Ana and have opened up for such acts as Chicano Batman, Bomba Estereo, Thee Midniters and even unofficially -- by way of an impromptu guerilla-style street show -- for The Pixies. Looking forward, 2017 Thee Commons  have just released the ambitious 18 song junior follow up album Paleta Sonora. Teamed up with Cosmica Artists Management group and Monterey Int. Booking Agency, the future looks auspicious for these young and determined “chunsters” who doggedly strive to perfect their hypnotic yet invigorating act -- which includes an intertextual take on Nirvana's “Love Buzz” and a punk cover of Selena’s “Baila Esta Cumbia”-- to disseminate the perfect pastiche that is psychedelic cumbia punk.
