The LONG awaited debut album from the legendary Brownout finally sees the light of day. The album is entitled "Homenaje", meaning Homage and will be released on the UK's Freestyle Records. It will no doubt make international noise as the real deal latin funk, 2 1/2 years in the making. In their rare off time from Grupo Fantasma, the band hit analog tape machines, home studios and laptops to create their full length introduction to the world, chock full of latin, afro, funk and psychedelic sounds that will challenge you to sit still without snapping your neck. ¡Con el Brownout no se juega!

To put it simply, Brownout! performs the nastiest latin funk music out today. This band of "party rocking legends" was resurrected from the same tequila soaked border town explosion that originated the highly acclaimed latin powerhouse Grupo Fantasma. Fresh off the worldwide release of their debut album on the UK's prestigious Freestyle Records, the band has made waves internationally amongst DJ's, tastemakers and good music fans alike.

Brownout! is an 8 piece ensemble complete with 2 guitars, bass, no nonsense latin percussion, and a horn section worthy of backing everyone from Prince to Spoon. Throwback but not copycat retro, their music is timeless and honest, keeping the spirit of 70s afro-latin and funk music alive while honoring their South Texas roots.
