Casa de Chihuahua is a hard driving soul thriving jug band for the jugular from the mountains of Virginia and the scummy streets of New York City. Combining all they've learned and forgotten from the two opposing scenes, they've worked hard to bring together the different aspects of the mind to entertain everyone that comes across the fountain of notes and vocal harmonies that spew and ooze in the form of oak trees, skyscrapers, mountains, madmen on street corners, dogwood petals, freight trains, subway stares and heartbeats. Led by the song writing team of Zack Orion(Vocals, Guitar, Suitcasebassdrum, Foot-washboard, Harmonica) and Morgan O'Kane(Banjo, Vocals), the band started playing in 2006 in dark late night scenes in Brooklyn, attempting to conjure hills and valleys full of chestnut trees and wild happy animals from another era. Their banshee howls and whikeyfied danceable mayhem attracted the attention of washtub bass virtuoso Matthew "Pigpen" Robinson and the trio hasn't stopped playing since. Their current touring lineup includes the sweet fiery fiddle of Ferd 4 of the Hackensaw Boys and the ever promised surprise of various gorgeous tattooed sirens. If you're east of the Mississipi(save Monroe, La) we'll see you this summer somewhere.

Spread the word if these douche bags try to promote any shows in your area!
To localpunks. com:
If you ever try to do a show on Maui again, I will dedicate my time and financial resources to making sure your show is even more of a disaster than the show you just tried to put on. The Maui music community hates you; you pissed off every business and band that you made contact with in Maui County. You are complete fuckkking pieces of shit; that is obvious. Please stay in the septic tank of Southern CA. The shit you tried to pull selling tickets? The shit you pulled with the music stores on Maui? The shit you pulled at the gate...$39? The shit you pulled not promoting the show? Do you realize how many kids could not afford your bullshit and drove away to go get wasted instead? We will burn you to the ground; I will be actively anti-promoting localpunks. com for the rest of my existence...on the radio, in print, on the net, and in person. From a true blue early 80's raised SF, CA punk believer, you are a true disgrace. Please spread your disease strictly amongst your own in the shit tank of SoCal. Mahalo.
