    Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Gringos Locos MySpace world!.... Gringos Locos was formed in Helsinki, Finland in 1986. Their recording deal with PolyGram International received much attention back then. Three albums down the road the band decided to take a short break in 1991. Well time is relative and the break ended up lasting almost 20 years, but hey! Who’s counting? The guys never gave up music though and groups like Leningrad Cowboys, Wishbone Ash, and Ben Granfelt Band are proud to have or have had members of Gringos Locos in their line-up..... In October of 2007 the guys decided the band and the world were ready for another Gringos Locos album. Due to busy schedules and commitments elsewhere it took till the summer of 2009 before the album was finished. The album Second Coming Of Age sounds a lot like the old familiar stuff, but the sounds are fuller, the lyrics more mature and the melodies more complex, with richer harmonies. But the band still Rocks make no mistake!.... The new album contains 10 originals and a cover of the Edgar Winter Group song Free Ride. Several of Finland’s top musicians and singers contributed on the album..... Gringos Locos are: Richard G. Johnson (vocals), Muddy Manninen (guitar), Masa Maijanen (bass) and Miri Miettinen (drums). .. Digital Download from www.equaldreams.com.. ...... ...... ................ Uusi albumi Second Coming Of Age julkaistaan 3.6.2009..Gringos Locos on yksi Suomen rockmusiikin uranuurtajista. Bändi on ollut telakalla ja tallissa "muutaman" vuoden mm. Leningrad Cowboysin, Wishbone Ashin, Ben Granfelt Bandin ja Havana Blackin viedessä soittajia maailmalla. Uuden, järjestyksessään neljännen levyn aika tuli nyt, kun pöytälaatikot alkoivat pullistella musiikkia ja yhteistä aikaakin löytyi.....Second Coming Of Age –levyn hard rock puree ja soundit ovat tuttuja ja ah niin tuhteja! Melodioissa ja sanoituksissakin kuulee poikien kasvaneen miehiksi (ehkä) ja Tipe Johnsonin ääni ja vahvat kitarat iskevät tajuntaan jos mahdollista lujempaa kuin koskaan ennen..... Levyllä soittavat peruskokoonpanon lisäksi Leevi Leppänen, Tomi Malm, Ben Granfelt, Okke Komulainen, Jaakko Kiikeri, Harri Ala-Kojola ja Mikko Rintanen.....Lisätietoa:..

    Hi Gringos Locos. EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs make its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out! Thanks a lot for the attention and support. Keep in touch.

    Kisses from Brazil,
    Marie
