Fruta Brutal |
Born in Ecuador and raised in the United States, Martín Better Longo blends his love for indie rock, pop, and Latin American music through his band, Fruta Brutal. During 8+ years spent in the bustling music scenes of New Orleans and Denver, as well as traveling through South America, Martín gained exposure to various styles that influenced his bilingual (English & Spanish) repertoire. Fruta Brutal’s debut album, produced by Grammy Award-winning New Orleans-based producer, Mack Major, and Denver’s Neoma producer, Danny Pauta, is set to release in late 2023. Performing as a Denver-based quintet, with bassist Zoe Moff, drummer Michel Stahli, percussionist Leo Corona, synth player Ben Weirich, and singer and guitarist Martín Better Longo, Fruta Brutal has headlined and sold out Denver's Globe Hall, and performed with Latin Grammy Award winning band, Flor de Toloache, and internationally acclaimed, Making Movies. The band has also performed at Boulder's Fox Theater with Banshee Tree, and New Orleans' iconic Tipitina's.
Fruta Brutal has contributed a message of celebration of cultural diversity to the vibrant music scenes of Boulder, Denver, and New Orleans. With the release of their latest single, Cultura Vampira, the band has gained love and support across Latin America through thousands of followers and listeners on Instagram, YouTube, and Spotify. Fruta Brutal is planning their first U.S. and Latin American tours following the release of their debut album.
Phoebe Nix is rocking and grooving vision of multi instrumentalist-songwriter Christopher Robert Clauss. Strong notes of Bowie and Zappa mix with vivid instrumentals and powerful vocals. Expect an impassioned performance and look out for their first full length album coming soon.
