Los Lobos
Sunday, July 14, 8:30 p.m. at The Hangar
Tickets start at $20
More than four decades have passed since Los Lobos released their debut album, Just Another Band from East L.A. Members of Los Lobos were already East L.A. neighborhood legends, Sunset Strip regulars and made up a Grammy Award-winning band by the time they recorded their major label debut How Will The Wolf Survive? in 1984. Four decades, two more Grammys, a smash single (“La Bamba”) and thousands of performances later, Los Lobos is surviving quite well – and still jamming with the same raw intensity as they had when they began in that garage in 1973. Catch them at The Hangar on July 14.
