[5/10-5/11] Preview: Official Pachanga “Afters Parties” at Hotel Vegas and Volstead

May 10, 2013 By Austin Vida Staff

After Pachanga Fest this weekend, be sure and stay on the east side as the Latino music community here in Austin have worked to put together some fantastic after shows.  One of a few after shows will take place not far from Fiesta Gardens on East 6th at Hotel Vegas and Volstead Lounge. Fans of Latin Alternative and Latin-inspired electronica will want to bring your Pachanga wristbands with you to keep the pachanga going both tonight and tomorrow night.

Tonight both Hotel Vegas and Volsted will pop off Pachanga estyle. The stage inside Hotel Vegas will give fans another more intimate live experience with Pachanga Fest openers Este Vato (Austin) and an advance look at Bang Data (Oakland, CA) before their performance at the fest on Saturday. DJ Manny and DJ Orión (Peligrosa) will also spin together on the Hotel Vegas stage. The Volstead stage will feature DJ Dus (Peligrosa, Master Blaster Sound System) and “Screwmbia” purveyors, Royal Highness.

On Saturday night Volstead will be the spot as Guadalajara-based cumbiatrónica duo Los Master Plus will bring their norteño-insired swag to the turntables with a special DJ set. The duo (El Comanche and Larry Mon) also have some of the best mustaches in the business, so get at look at them up close at Volstead. Also tomorrow night DJ Orión will team up with Houston’s DJ Gracie Chavez of Bombón.

Hotel Vegas and Volstead Lounge are located at 1500 E. 6th Street. Doors open at 10 p.m. 21+ are welcome. Admission is FREE with Pachanga Fest wristbands or $5 at the door without. Visit the official Facebook event page here.

[10/6] Preview: Royal Highness ‘Screwmbia’ EP release party at Plush

October 4, 2012 By Austin Vida Staff

Royal Highness is collaboration between Peligrosa DJ King Louie (Luis Espada) and Corpus Christie producer Principe CU (Svani Quintanilla- Selena’s nephew). The two met through a mutual friend down in Corpus Christie, DJ Dus, also of Peligrosa fame. Though the two have opposite personalities, King Louie being the outgoing one, they meshed to form the hottest new duo in the barriotech world. Together the two incorporate trap beats (repetitive high hats and snares with bass) with crunked out cumbia screwed down.

The duo released their debut EP on October 1, appropriately titled Screwmbia EP. The EP includes seven hot tracks that could only come from Texas-based Latinos and features a guest appearance from rapper Chingo Bling. Listen all the way through to track 6 and hear “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” like never before.

Royal Highness is celebrating the release of Screwmbia EP on Saturday, October 6, at Plush. Joining the celebration will be Austin-based DJ Kid Slyce and people from the Keep It Local collective. Plush is located at 617 Red River. 21+ are welcome. No cover. Visit the official event page in Facebook here.

Listen to the Screwmbia EP below.
