La Guerrilla

"Throw Any Kind Of Descriptors At La Guerrilla – Latin Rock Funk Pop Soul Hip-Hop – And They'll All Stick. But Probably The Best Way To Convey What The Genre-Bending Six-Piece Sounds Like Is To Put It This Way It's A Band Where Members Who Individually Love Gogol Bordello Björk Flaming Lips At The Drive In And Chico Mann Can Feel At Home With One Another." - Chad Swiatecki Austin American Statesman
Originated In Austin TX Circa 2009 La Guerrilla Is Songwriter And Artist Enrique Rumiche's Brainchild. His Previous Solo Project Was Called "La Guerrilla De Lilliput" But Got Shortened After Many Venues And Followers Only Remembered The First Or Last Part Of The Name.

Instead The Experience Is Enhanced By Props From Phaser Amplified Motorcycle Helmets To Piñata Bubble Heads To Toy Accordions To Simple Signs Stating "How Much Of Your Shit Is Made In China?". The Goal Is To Make Proper Use Of A Stage And To Give The Audience More Than Just Music. The Band Has Released 2 E.P.'s With Much Success In The Central Texas Region.
