Paul Young's Los Pacaminos coming to Bilston

Tequila will make us happy when Paul Young brings his alter-ego band – Los Pacaminos – to Bilston's Robin 2 tonight.

Los Pacaminos got together in London in the month of November 1992, as an antidote to the bleak English winter.

Originally formed as an opportunity to play their shared passion of the Border, Tex-Mex and Americana music that the members of the band love, they started as a practice band playing when other musical commitments allowed.

Word got around and soon the band started playing gigs. The band is fronted by Paul Young.

Paul says: "Los Pacaminos started out just for fun, playing simply for the pleasure of it, and it just took off from there.

"It's real bar room stuff, foot stompers, not too many slow songs – there's a real party atmosphere."

The set includes songs like Wooly Bully, La Bamba and sometimes, if enough Tequila is flowing, even Speedy Gonzales.
