Mexrrissey - Share new video and UK tour dates

A Mexican version of Morrissey what more do you want?

In Mexico Morrissey has always been a prophet with honour. His songs of love, loss and longing, with powerful imagery and metaphors have found a huge audience and chimed with generations raised on rancheras and mariachis and their singers who were not afraid to cross the line.

Now the love has been returned, with a band made in Mexico City reinventing Morrissey’s songs south of the border. Together they sound like a brass and string led combo from the smallest village with the biggest bleeding heart.

The first of the gang is Camilo Lara, the force inside Mexican Institute of Sound, who together with Sergio Mendoza (Orkesta Mendoza / Calexico) has put together a team of musical gunslingers from Mexico’s finest bands to send this record from Mexico with love.

The band has had an incredible trajectory from a first try out show in Mexico City in April 2015 swiftly followed by a sold out mainstage debut at the London, Barbican at the La Linea Festival in London, a UK tour (including an emotional SOLD OUT!!! Manchester gig) and triumphant shows at BAM in New York and the Regent in Los Angeles.

Mexrrissey’s debut album, 'No Manchester', released in March 2016, was recorded in Mexico City and Tucson Arizona. The album was produced by Camilo Lara. The arrangements are by Lara and Sergio Mendoza.

The album was mixed by Jack Lahana, winner of multiple Grammys for his work with Phoenix and Daft Punk. “No Manchester” is a Mexican slang phrase meaning “No Way” or “Are you kidding me?” but more than that it means that these songs, born in Manchester, have grown up, changed their hair and the clothes they wear and are living somewhere else under an assumed name.
