Cinco de Mayo
with Mariachi Los Camperos
@Miller Outdoor Theatre

Saturday 5/5/2018 8:00 PM


[From: Miller Outdoor Theatre.com]
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Miller as everybody will be dancing to two-time Grammy Award winning group, Mariachi Los Camperos. The band originated in 1961 by Natividad “Nati” Cano. Mr. Cano played a fundamental role in the development of mariachi music in the United States by training and mentoring new generations of mariachi musicians. The Mariachi “Giant” was a visionary leader that wanted to take the mariachi performance out of customary locations such as Cantinas and into concert halls where celebrities performed.


Mariachi Los Camperos continue to salvage the richness of Mexican music and culture in effort to display and pass the mariachi traditions, as Los Camperos continue to open doors to influence the new generation of mariachi musicians throughout the world.

Sum 41
@HOB-Houston

Saturday 5/5/2018 7:30 PM

Sum 41 is a The Canadian rock band from Ajax, Ontario Sum 41 makes its way to Houston's HOB this weekend. Originally called Kaspir, the band in 1996 and now consists of lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Deryck Whibley, lead guitarist Dave Baksh, guitarist Tom Thacker, bassist Jason McCaslin and drummer Frank Zummo.
     The band's style has been disputed by fans because of the complex combination of different musical styles and the more mature, serious, and heavy sound on later albums. The band's EP Half Hour of Power is described as punk rock, skate punk and pop punk.
All Killer No Filler was described as pop punk and skate punk (except for "Pain for Pleasure", which is purely heavy metal). Does This Look Infected? has been described as punk rock, pop punk and melodic hardcore. Chuck was getting heavier opting out the original pop punk sound with a thrash metal sound, but the band kept in touch with its punk rock and melodic hardcore roots, which created an even more mature sound than the group's previous effort. Critics have described Underclass Hero as a revival of the band's pop punk style.

Echosmith can be described as an indie rock and 1980s dance-rock-influenced band. The band cites The Smiths as an influence. Switchfoot was also a big influence and reason they started making music.

Intinally formed as a quartet of siblings, the band currently consists of Sydney, Noah and Graham Sierota, following the departure of eldest sibling Jamie in late 2016. Echosmith started first as "Ready Set Go!" until they signed to Warner Bros. Records in May 2012. They are best known for their hit song "Cool Kids", which reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified double platinum by the Recoding Idustry Association America with over 1.2 million dollars in sales in the United States and also double platinum by in Australia.
