  • Bio

    Chango Malo is a soul-punk, pop-core, post-everything rock and roll band from the dusty southwestern town of Tucson, AZ... .. Formed in 2000, the six-piece hit the scene immediately with an engaging, hyperkinetic live show that garnered enthusiastic acclaim from both fans and the local media... .. They have “pieced together enough styles of rock music to create the smorgasbord sound that Chango Malo calls its own; song to song, and verse to chorus, Chango Malo can switch style, tone and mood without so much as an irregular beat or missed note,” said the Tucson Weekly.... .. The band is the late Gen X-Gen Y pioneers of Tucson’s music scene who have committed themselves to the town and to the craft. Practicing non-stop, the crew perform religiously and have toured all over the country - impressing crowds where ever they take the stage. With two full length disks and two EPs under their collective belts, the group has also helped promote Tucson music by putting together compilation albums... .. Currently touring in support of what the Tucson Weekly calls "their best album to date," The Whiskey Years, Chango Malo will be tearing up the stage in a town near you... .. .. Press Quotes.. .. "Chango Malo has invigorated the community and was invited to play South by Southwest in 2005" - Arizona Daily Star.. .. "Toss six best friends on stage, arm them with an arsenal of high-energy ska-punk-funk-soul songs, wind 'em up, and watch 'em work themselves into a frenetic blur. That's pretty much the formula for a Chango Malo show, and it hasn't stopped working yet." - Tucson Weekly.. .. "Chango Malo played SXSW for the first time this year, in a less-than-ideal circumstance--small stage, out-of-the-way venue--but they may as well have been rocking the Hollywood Bowl for all it mattered to them. They turned in a downright inspired set, and I'm not just saying that because of the backrub I later got from guitarist Ian Philabaum." - Tucson Weekly.. .. "I wrote several months back, in these pages, that Chango Malo was one of those bands that you could stick in front of a crowd, any crowd, and said crowd would be enthralled, won over by the sheer energy of it all, regardless of their musical tastes." - Tucson Weekly.. .. "The fact is this: Chango Malo, with its genre-scattered take on the last 30 years of American music, kicks ass. On top of it all, they're the nicest, most humble guys you could ever hope to meet. And both facts come through on the stage." - Tucson Weekly.. .. "If there's one thing you can say about Chango Malo, it's that they've definitely retained a distinctive sound throughout the years.They also never slack on energy in live shows." - AzNightbuzz.com.. .. .. .. ..
