Techs on Instruments

That little I.T. Band from Texas is back. #SharpDressed to the 9’s with their gold teeth displayed. These #TresHombres emerged with one foot in the blues and the other in the Red River gumbo.

They plan to #Eliminator their competition, taking them out at the #Legs and knocking them on their #Tush.

Online Sound Machine

Emerging from frigid Winnipeg winters is Online Sound Machine — a 12-piece Latin-infused dance band playing warm, sunny music — an island oasis of vitamin D for your ears. The full horn section compliments a core group of rhythm including timbales, congas and other Latin percussion, keys, and guitars. Inspired by Latin and Latin-inspired pop and rock groups including the Buena Vista Social Club, Miami Sound Machine, and Santana, their Latin sound will transport you to sun-drenched, white sand beaches, margaritas, and conga lines. In the words of Gloria Estevan, “Don’t you worry that you can’t dance, let the music move your feet!”

Techapalooza hasn’t seen anything quite like this before. Bailar con nosotros!
