The Mescal Sheiks are Los-Angeles-based musicians and songwriters who first collaborated on various Hangan Brothers projects.
Now, drawing collectively from their culturally diverse backgrounds in the New York, Chicago, Arkansas and L.A. music scenes, they have combined a unique blend of ingredients to create their own dynamic gumbo -- sometimes greasy, often funky, inevitably rootsy, and always soulful!Band/artist history

Hi Guys,
Great to meet ya! and as I've said over at Myspace, you must be a great band to see live.
I feel mighty privileged to be your first poster here, after coming via Angela's, then your site at Myspace.
Love your style, the songs, and the distinctive vocals.
3 are on my stations, "Fool for you" "Walking to the river" (great vocals/harmonies on that especially) and my favorite "Got to have me two"
Thanks for sharing your music, and see you around no doubt.
