Artist History The whole idea for Los Mariscos started on an evening in October at C.J.'s house during a meeting between C.J., Emile and Joe. Just before this meeting was the falling out of the popular high school blues band known as the Blazing Ties, of which the three were members. The "Ties" had broken up, however C.J., Emile and Joe still wanted to play together. So they decided to start from scratch. Joe, C.J. and Emile and jammed with Amir many times before so they decided to ask him if he wanted to play sax, Amir accepted. They next part was finding a drummer which wasn't hard. C.J. had known Dan for a while and knew that he played drums and decided to ask him if he would like to join, Dan accepted and the lineup was complete. The first meeting with the band wasn't until December where they got there first song, called "Break Away" written by Joe and C.J., completed. They would soon get more songs ready such as "What's Goin' Down," "The Little Red Haired Girl" and "The Boon Boon Toon" (Which features C.J. and Amir showing off there rap skills!). The band's first preformence was at Ithaca High School's "Caberet Night" where they preformed their song "What's Goin' Down." The band also recently began recording tracks for their first album, however that still isn't not close to being finished, but this site will keep you posted on that. Also in the minst of the recording the band managed to shoot a video for their Swing tune "The Little Red Haired Girl" (where you can see some rare footage the the guys swing dancing!) As of right right now the band is working well together and practicing crazily for new songs.
