Why this name?
THE BANG CHANGOS - IN THE SANTERIA RELIGION, CHANGO IS THE GOD OF MASCULINE BEAUTY, MUSIC AND DANCE - AND OF COURSE THAT FITS US PERFECTLY.
Do you play live?
NOT ANYMORE, SOME OF US WENT ON TO FORM THE MERCY BENDS AND WE'RE CURRENTLY PLAYING ALL OVER NEW YORK AND SURROUNDING STATES
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
FOR UNSIGNED ARTISTS IT'S THE GREATEST WAY TO GET YOUR MATERIAL OUT TO THE MASSES - FOR A NEW GROUP OUT WITH A HOT NEW RECORD, IT'S A MIXED BLESSING.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
IT SEEMS TO US THAT THE BIG LABELS HAVE LOST THEIR WAY WITH BOTH THE BANDS AND THE FANS - WE'D PREFER A LABEL THAT ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THE MUSIC AND DEVELOPING THEIR ARTISTS.
Band History:
A NYC BASED INDY ROCK, POWER POP, GARAGE BAND SPECIALIZING IN THREE MINUTE MASTERPIECES OF MUSICAL MAYHEM.
Your influences?
60'S GARAGE ROCK, IGGY POP, THE PLIMSOULS, CHEAP TRICK, THE KINKS, VELVET UNDERGROUND, THE RAMONES.
Favorite spot?
PARIS, PORTUGAL, AND NYC.
Equipment used:
CAKEWALK FOR HOME DEMOS (ALL THE ONES ON THIS SITE), FENDER SQUIRE SUPERSONIC GUITAR, A CHEAP WASHBURN XB-100 BASS, FENDER CONCERT AMP, SANS AMP AND IBANEZ VA3 PEDALS, BOSS DR. RHYTHME DR-660 DRUM MACHINE, BEHRINGER MIXER.
Anything else...?
THANKS EVERYONE FOR CHECKING US OUT - IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET YOUR MUSIC HEARD AND IT'S EXTREMELY HELPFUL GETTING FEEDBACK FROM MUSIC FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
