Thee Sinseers & The Altons
Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm / All Ages / $25-$45
To say that The Sinseers play oldies would be a misnomer. Fronted by bandleader and son of East Los Angeles Joey Quiniones, the group has quietly chipped away at the sounds of R&B and soul for the last half-decade. Quinones and his crew have continuously created a distinctive vibe that explores all aspects of a timeless genre, bringing together their interpretation of music through an unmistakable modern lens.
With Quinones on vocals and keys, vocalist Adriana Flores, Christopher Manjarrez on bass, Francisco Floreson on guitar, Bryan Ponce on guitar and vocals, Luis Carpio on drums and vocals, saxophonists Eric Johnson and Steve Surman, and Jose Luis Jimenez on trombone, The Sinseers are making moves.
The Altons have been active around town for the last couple of years, quickly becoming known for vibrantly encapsulating the essence of a Los Angeles that exists because of its raspy, strikingly honest, genre-bending forebears. Their sound is soulful blues with a sun tan and sweet backyard cumbia tinnitus. It’s a sound that’s graced stages from Summer Fest in Milwaukee to Corona Capital in CDMX, and has local audiences swooning to say the least.The Altons, all from Los Angeles with roots all over space and time, don’t shy away from the experience of growing up at a cultural crossroads- in fact, they welcome it- both in their sound and at their live shows. “Float” is their latest release with Penrose Records. Ever changing the tune is a good example of the bands‘ many influences and how they come together to make a soulful tune with dreamy harmonies that’s drenched in psychedelia. It was made with love for where they came from and a bold step forward for the new generation coming out of Southeast Los Angeles.
