Hound Gawd! Records present the release of Chico Purito!, the debut studio album by Oviedo's favorite garage punk rockers, Hey Honcho & The Aftermaths. The Spanish Illustrator Mr. Bratto enthuses, "Evil has a plan and here's the livin' example." The band formed in 2015 as Aftermaths and released their first EP titled, A Natural Fancy in 2015, followed by the seven-inch, The Way, before Von Gustopher, aka Hey Honcho, joined the band in 2017. The now called Hey Honcho & The Aftermaths feature members of Los Ass-Draggers, Amon Ra, and Electric Children. They pretty much nail the sound for which Spanish garage rock is infamous: vibrant, high energy, and dangerously catchy. Chico Purito! is for fans of DMZ, Pleasure Fuckers, The Dictators, and The Real Kids. From opener "Sally Can't Wait" to "Ejecter" the tracks are masterfully wrought punk rock tunes with heart-wrenching vocals. This paunchy debut album is packed full with 13 simple and intense "classics" including "All This And More", a tribute to the Dead Boys. At the risk of corniness in conveying the sterling truth, Chico Purito! could be considered to represent Von Gustopher on lead vocals, drummer Dani Thunder, guitarist Diego Manfredo, and Héctor Castanon on bass arriving at a "next level,", but next after what? They appear to have skipped a few. Chico Purito! was recorded live in one day at Ovni Studios in Asturias, Spain in April of 2017. Mike Mariconda produced and mixed the album at his private Sol de Sants Studios in Barcelona. Mariconda has produced countless garage rock bands, like the Devil Dogs, Cosmic Psychos, Spaceshits, and the New Bomb Turks, while leading the pack as guitarist of his own garage band The Raunch Hands. Go loco with Hey Honcho & The Aftermaths! Includes download card.

140-gram LP in 350-gram reverse-printed cardboard sleeve. Remastered and restored sound. Edition of 500. In the '50s in El Barrio, pachanga, mambo, rumba, cha-cha-chá, and, above all, guajira and son montuno are the preferred rhythms. On Friday nights at The Palladium, the best orquestas, like Tito Puente's, Jack Costanzo's, and Joe Quijano's, keep the atmosphere hot as Machito, Cugat, and Bauzá did before them. Afro-Cuban rhythms had been finding a place in jazz and it was in the '40s and '50s when things gathered momentum, and that Latin thing that would explode later and be known commercially as "salsa" began to emerge, although there was a gap between those first pioneers and the new generation for whom boogaloo was king. Boogaloo has deep roots in Afro-rhythms, soul, and rhythm 'n' blues. It is fair to say that the bands who played charanga, mambo, and son considered boogaloo an inferior genre, and later they asked why this music was called "salsa," when it had always been Afro-Cuban music. With this series, Grosso! Recordings brings in some of the Latin bands based in New York between 1955 and 1962 and other recordings done in Cuba by orquestas of the likes of Arsenio Rodríguez, José Curbelo, Roberto Faz, and the immeasurable Sonora Matancera, Orquesta Kubavana, and La Playa Sextet. This collection documents not only the Latin sound of the big city -- "Pachanga en changa" by Joe Quijano, "Conmigo" by Eddie Palmieri, and "Mambo de Cuco" by Mongo Santamaria -- but also the more traditional sound of "El divorcio" with the incomparable "tres guitar" of Arsenio Rodríguez and the mambo at the end of "Guajira y Tambó" by Ray Barretto, together with the double meaning present on the lyrics of all Cuban music, such as Sonora Matancera's version of "Esto se hincha" and "Las Bobitas" by Roberto Faz. A must-have to understand the arrival of boogaloo and salsa. Format and selection designed for DJs, collectors, and the general public. Includes tracks by Tito Puente, Pío Leyva with Bebo Valdés & His Orchestra, Arsenio Rodríguez, Bienvenido Granda & La Sonora Matancera, Roberto Faz & His Conjunto, Fantasmita with C. Barbería & Kubavana, Ray Barretto, Jack Costanzo & His Afro Cuban Band, Joe Quijano & Conjunto Cachana, Cachao & His Combo, Eddie Palmieri & "La Perfecta", La Playa Sextet, Mongo Santamaria, and La Lupe.
