MONTE NEGRO | MySpace Video














LOS ANGELES, CA - June 23 - Monte Negro, the most promising band of bicultural and bilingual rock, will take full control and accountability for their impressive career climb by releasing the new "Fugitives Of Pleasure / Pasajeros" EP under their very own label, Feed The Hungry Records. The band is set to perform its highly anticipated new material at the House of Blues release party on July 23rd in their hometown of Los Angeles.

After the exceptional success of their 2008 debut album "Cicatrix, " which was supported by a lengthy national tour and generated critical acclaim equally in both Latin and Anglo press, the band is preparing to embark on their most extensive tour to date, beginning in San Jose on July 10th. They will once again command attention with their spirited and transcendent live shows across the nation, including Puerto Rico. For the entire month of October, Converse will be sponsoring their debut appearances in Mexico, presenting Monte Negro in a series of concerts and festivals that will span across the territory.

The veritable magic of Monte Negro is their multicultural sound and unique versatility, making them accessible anywhere in this increasingly interconnected world community. Their music can be both delicate and monstrous all at once, and their ability to communicate through rich soaring melodies and international pop sensibilities is enhanced by vocalist Kinski Gallo's poetical fluency in both English and Spanish.

Once again working alongside famed producer Tone (Green Day, Carlos Santana), the "Fugitives Of Pleasure / Pasajeros" EP challenges the band's own idea of artistic integrity by deeply examining their stylistic range of material and incorporating political themes, odd arrangements and textures, and an overall sense of urgency into the mix.

It features a unique presentation that will inevitably appeal to music collectors: 1) an Original Version that will contain 5 magnificent new songs, and 2) a Limited Edition that is complimented with deluxe artwork and packaging, autographs, 6 additional eclectic instrumental tracks, and an unexpected surprise: "La Negra Tomasa" is a stunning hip-hop reinvention of the Caifanes classic. It is a distinctive example of Monte Negro's haunting aesthetic and their embracement of the cultural mix that all of their forward-thinking fans can appreciate.

These Limited Edition copies will be engaged in an exclusive presale from July 9th to July 24th on Monte Negro's official website: www.montenegrorocks.com. "This is a gift of appreciation that we wanted to bestow upon our special following, whose constant contact and enthusiasm keeps us creating. They will be the first and most important listeners who evaluate and critique our new offerings," says Kinski. On July 28th, both editions will be available as digital downloads online and in physical formats in stores.

"Loco Por Tu Amor (Tarde o Temprano Se Paga)," is an oneiric opus of extinguished love, madness, and despair, but with an alarmingly majestic chorus. It will be accompanied by a music video to be in exclusive release on the influential MTV3.

The official and much anticipated presentation of Monte Negro's "Fugitives of Pleasure / Pasajeros" EP will be on Thursday, July 23rd, at the House of Blues in their hometown of Los Angeles, presented by Al Borde. A single experience of their truly astounding live set will prove that they are the most relevant and compelling rock act of the year.
