Putting the Trash in Country
Tio Gringo combines authentic country in the tradition of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams III with a sip of trash, flavoured with a little metal, a sniff of psychobilly, and a spark of rock& roll. The result is a mix which makes your throat go dry, and makes you hungry for beer and whiskey.
The members of this band also play in bands like The Gecko Brothers and Batmobile. That’s the experience you see and hear when you see them playing live. The drumkit is selfmade out of a cementtub and some pots and pans and the record is also selfmade in the home studio of Eric Haamers ( Batmobile) in the south of The Netherlands. The goal is to keep our music as pure as it can be, without too much effects.
Tio Gringo released thear first album "Country Trash To The Max" in April 2012. An now they will continue playing in bars and festivals, like they will do at the Muddy Roots Europe fest in Belgium this summer. They allready played as a support act for Bob Wayne and The Pine Box Boys. On the tracks “My Sister And The Neighbours Horse”and “Real Slut”you can hear “Possum” Carvidi of the Pine Box Boys playing the banjo.
