MONTOYA are Sergio and Gino Montoya, brothers, Peruvian. They played for a while in different bands in Peru and Costa Rica, before Sergio moved to London in 1999 and Gino to Seattle in 2000. In 2000 Sergio was the drummer for Cuzco, a London based band. In 2001 he put out his first solo LP (Gaijin Toroku) under his own label, eRRatic music. That same year he decided to move to Seattle to join Gino. Sergio played in the Seattle circuit with bands such as Biography of Ferns, Wand and Conduit. In 2002 and 2003 Gino helped Sergio with songwriting duties and some guitar work for his second solo LP (MondoNgo) and only EP (SM & The Tripe of the World) In 2004 they put out the first MONTOYA LP (self-titled) also under eRRatic music. The music is a mix of raw rock and pop with an evident Latin influence. Their second LP (Visions of Ultratumba) is out NOW. Praise for MONTOYA's debut album: "Clomping out of the gate like a bar band Tarantino would love, the brothers Montoya soon settle into '70s rock swagger with an ease that belies their age. Witness "Las Joyas," which sways around drunkenly for the better part of its verses and then suddenly challenges you to a knife fight under the bridge" - Tablet Magazine "The Brothers Montoya kick the door in, dripping with testosterone and tequila, and hammer out first cut "Jezebel," all blaring guitars and repetitive, slightly threatening choruses. After chasing you under the table and laughing gruffly at your timidity, they pull you out and buy you a round. By the first shimmery chords of next track, "Solo," you're lost in the delicate harmonies and trying to remember what all the fuss was about. And it only gets better." - Kevan Breitinger - www.indie-music.com "MONTOYA is the debut from brothers Gino and Sergio. Two guys makin' some basic rock and roll noise. Cool! At times, sounds like a Spanish version of the Black Keys but not quite as fuzzed-out. Basic power rock-and-roll. Track 6 - EL GATO - rocks! Awesome!" - Pat Turlo - WHMB Waterville, 89.7 FM Check out the artist's website: http://www.erraticmusic.com Track List: 1. Little Maniac 2. Johnny's Cool 3. Fire on the Field 4. Under Ground 5.
