Hacienda

San Antonio based Hacienda combine Tex-Mex, straight up rock 'n' roll and Americana on their 2008 debut, Loud Is the Night and blend in more of their “garage roots” on their upcoming release, Big Red & Barbacoa. Formed by cousins Abraham Villanueva (piano/vocals) and Dante Schwebel (guitar/vocals), together with Abraham's brothers Jaime (drums/vocals) and Rene Villanueva (bass/vocals), this Mexican-American quartet blends a raw yet sophisticated style of pop music with harmonies reminiscent of the Beatles, The Stones, and The Beach Boys.

This is their first single off Big Red & Barbacoa, “She’s Got a Hold on Me”.

This is a live recording of “Shake Ya”. I must admit I prefer the original version which features some nice, Chicano trumpet playing in the background.
