Female Vocalist wanted for new record/gigs

Portland OR

Description

The singer I was working with has moved back east recently and I am looking for a vocalist/lyricist I am in the process of writing/recording a new record, and as usual it will be a mix of instrumentals, and vocals. A brief outline as someone once phrased….. EL DIABLITOS is a music collective that is written, managed and engineered by Tony ‘ARG' Guerrero hosting a revolving door of various musicians. It incorporates big-clean stereo guitars, soul piercing voicings, swirling, twangy, reverbery, spooky, upbeat noir-like, surfy, Spanishy-western, and spy themed tunes. I have a couple gigs lined up in late July 23rd/24th in the Bay Area, but not sure if theres enough time to get a singer up to speed, otherwise I'll be doing the instrumental versions only, with looped tracks. This sort of popped up as my brother asked me to come down and play a couple of gigs with him. We generally tour the West Coast together, and I toured Japan, and there has been talk about Europe, but since covid, we are all trying to figure things out. Even with all of that, I’m really not trying to ‘make it’ nor put too much pressure on gigging constantly, but would rather just make records, and maybe do a gig once a month or whatever makes sense, and no touring unless that makes sense for everyone and for the right reasons. Right now I don't have a full-time band, but I am working with various musicians for the next record, but when its time to play shows I usually have a line-up of people that I can tap in to from Portland, Seattle, The Bay Area and Southern California. More details on that if/when we talk. These are the current songs with vocals that we would play, along with a handful of covers from time to time. Generally a set is mixed up of vocals and instrumentals about 50/50 roughly, but sometimes a gig could be mostly vocal based, or an instrumental gig only. Just depends on the gig situation. Heres is a link and song titles with vocals listed below https://eldiablitos.bandcamp.com/album/all-roads-lead-to-hell (If you scroll over each track on the site lyrics are also attached to each song) La Sirena Stroll in hell The ballad of Sancho y Panza Montreal Secrets and Lies All Roads Lead to hell High Drifter (the last song on the record Come Hell or High Water is the only song with vocals) Both records were professsionally recorded and mastered. Come Hell or High Water is almost entirely instrumental, it was recorded in San Francisco at Ruminator Audio, and half of it was recorded by Larry Crane at Jackpot here in Portland. It was mastered by Mike Wells Mastering in L.A. and had distribution in the USA, France, Germany, UK, and Japan. All Roads Lead to Hell was recorded at Ruminator Audio SF and Mastered by Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Mastering (Portland), and 4 songs from that record was pressed to vinyl recently and has been shipping all over the world. I am in the process of writing the next record ELD3 and hoping to release it next Fall. If you are interested please email a link to something that I can listen to, and if you don’t have anything recorded, try and provide something so that I can get some sort of an idea. The woman that sang on the last record, never recorded her vocals before, and I more or less found her through an open mic gig, so don’t be shy. If you are at least on par with her, or even ‘different’ then go ahead and put yourself out there, cause ya never know. Tony
