CLUBZ are Orlando Fernández and Coco Santos. Although it is a new project, these two Mexican musicians have a long history by being part of other musical projects that have taken them to play major music festivals in northern Mexico with important artists, in addition to playing cities in the United States like Brooklyn, N.Y. and Austin, TX.
More than just a side project, CLUBZ has its own identity, a difficult sound to define or pigeonhole a genre. With only a few guitars, pedals and synthesizers, supplemented by a drum machine that frames their sound, their live set is captivating. Influenced by the nostalgic electro-pop of the 80s and 90s, CLUBZ renews these sounds to a refreshing proposal for the context of today. With Texturas, their debut EP, CLUBZ already become one of the most interesting and promising proposals of Mexico, acclaimed by international media such as The Fader, SPIN, Stereogum, Club Fonograma, Hispanic New Music, Mercado Negro de Ibero 90.9, Reactor 105.7, LifeBoxset, Nrmal.net, Dance to the Radio, among many others.
About to close 2014, this duo is preparing to release their debut album having already performed at festivals like Vive Latino 2014, Festival Nrmal 2014, House of Vans Mexico 2013, Festival Marvin, Epicentro Festival in Costa Rica, Desert Gold at the Ace Hotel Palm Springs during Coachella, among many others.
