Sex Mex

The Idea For Sex Mex Was Born In Early 2021 When Nathan Gray Drums And Vocals Was Experimenting With Running Keyboards Through Various Pedals And Amplifiers Attempting To Create Something Similar To The Sound On Suicides 1977 Debut. He Recorded Covers Of Various Songs But With The Bass Replaced By A Distorted Organ And Not So Subtle Lead Lines. He Knew It Would Make For A Good Band But The Thought Of Putting Together A Band With Weird Instrumentation In The Wake Of COVID Sounded Unbelievably Daunting. Instead He Put Together A Simple Garage Rock Group With His Girlfriend Rebecca Moore Tambourine . While Playing Various House Shows And Bars In San Antonio Nathan Met Future Keyboardist Matthew Colliflower. After He Had Shown Up To Every Show Over The Course Of A Month They Began Talking. When Nathan Found Out That Matthew Had Played The Piano Since Childhood He Knew That It Was Time To Move From Really Loud Guitars To Really Loud Keyboards. 2022 Was A Very Confusing Year For Sex Mex. They Were Trying To Find Their Footing But Things Weren’t Really Clicking. There Was Experimentation With Drum Machines Backing Tracks Fed Into Amplifiers Being A One Man Band And Just Forgetting About Guitar Completely. While Still Energetic Sex Mex Shows Were Very Inconsistent. Sex Mex Kicked Off 2023 With The Release Of Dubble Bubble Blowout Which Was Leaning More In The Pop Direction Than The 2022 Releases. It Also Coincided With The Addition Of Nicholas Devora On Guitar. The Sound Of Sex Mex Was Finally Fully Realized. Sex Mex Then Got Even Poppier With The Release Of 2023’s “We’re A Happy Family” Which Got Them The Attention Of European Record Labels Who Wanted To Put Out Future Releases On Vinyl. read less
