   About PIñATA PROTEST seeks a bass player

Piñata Protest is an accordion powered punk rock band.

The band played their first show in January of 2006 on a sidewalk in front of the now long gone Snaps Skate Shop in the west side of San Antonio. The show which was originally planned to be held inside the shop's half pipe room was shut down by the police not long after starting. Victor, álvaro, and Manuel (being the rebels that they were) courageously defied the police and played unplugged for the remaining crowd that circled around them that night. Their mamadas have never stopped since...

The band began with álvaro who met Manuel through a friend who replied to a musician's ad in the local paper. Victor who was at the time drummer for Mal Hecho en San Quilmas was asked to join the band after watching him play at an earlier Snaps show. Elliott who was at the time playing bass for The Usual Suspects, joined after Piñata Protest's second show at The Wiggle Room where they met. Early in 2008 Victor left the band and JJ- a friend of the band, was asked to play drums and soon combined super powers with the rest of the band. A little more than two years after Elliott joined, Elliott left the band in the summer of 2008. Omar from Mckinney Tx, now plays bass for the band.

Among their other pendejadas, the band has released a self-titled 10 track EP, a music video, has shared the stage with bands like Sin Orden, Eske, Hit Me Back, Bruise Violet, at Chicago's Latino Fest in 2007, with performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña, with Texas bands like Los Skarnales, Snow Byrd, The Lower Class Brats, Polka Madre, The Sweethearts, Girl In A Coma, has had live performances on San Antonio's KYSM radio station, and of course not to forget, has played for your drunk uncle Gordo at his 45th cumpleaños backyard BBQ.
__________________________________________________________________

''I think they're the most pure punk band I've seen in 15 years.''
-Jeff Smith of The Hickoids, Saustex Media & Sauspop record labels.

''Their mix of conjunto and punk rock always brings a crowd to their feet and are sure to keep you moving throughout the night.''
-Texas Street Scene

''Whoever said accordions were only for polka couldn't be more wrong. After hearing this band, you'll never look at one the same again.''
-Allyson Holley, Austin Music Examiner

''From the first tune to the last, these guys delivered the notes and a show. There is something about an accordion being played against a thrashing guitar and a blast beat, along with a 16 oz. Lone Star that gets me ready for a little of the old, "ultra-violence''
- (A.B.)

''Piñata Protest can be counted on to forcefully take the raw essence of conjunto into warp-speed tempos and punky aggression. One of the most original forces on the local music scene, this guitar-bass-drums-accordion combo will almost certainly shatter any hint of tranquility at Main Plaza when they tear into classsics such as “Denied Rights” (with its brilliant, tongue-in-cheek intro) and “La Cantina.”
-Gilbert Garcia, The Sound & The Fury- San Antonio Current Magazine
