Indeed, Los Brazos\u2019 live performances are something to write home about. Even though they have played in a number of well-known rock clubs and festivals, and opened shows for big bands in Spain, it is on the wooden stages of rock bars where they feel like home: gigging comes as second nature to them.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1523448270992{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]

They soon came up with a musical project which took off like a rocket. The concept behind was to show the audiences where they come from and where they want to go with their music. Hence, they released their first album \u201cDelay, 10 Classic Tracks<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u201d in December 2012. The CD is a tribute of 10 covers to their classic influences in blues and rock music that range from \u201cBig Joe\u201d Williams to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. This record led them to tour unstoppably all over their country, reach to the local and then national radios, blogs, magazines and then to the US, in a brief tour that took them to some of the best venues in Chicago, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The band then took the chance to release \u201cWelcome to Los Brazos<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u201d, featuring 9 original songs, that raised their music to higher grounds, receiving an outstanding feedback everywhere, and taken them to new venues, festivals, new cities and new countries.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3672″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]As they kept touring, in august 2015, the band did a short break to announce the release in September of their third album, GAS<\/a><\/strong>, after signing the spanish label Rock Estatal Records.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]It was the first time a band\u2019s album was in stores, and in less than a week it\u00a0was number two in sales. A brief but huge surprise for a rock and roll band, no doubt. The album is sounding in all the main and little radio stations all over the country and has taken the trio\u00a0way higher.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]While GAS is still sounding, the band still keeps an ace and has prepared \u201cMagic<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u201d, a song and video made to raise\u00a0funds for the Research for the\u00a0Germinal\u00a0Cancer, affecting youth and children.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The band proposes an innovative way to raise funds: not only by the sales of the song in the internet will, but also by the streaming of the video and the song in the official channels, TV, radios\u2026 any royalty generator will be used to rise funds. The sky is the limit, and the more you listen to the song or see the video, the bigger the input.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]In 2018 the band releases \u201cLIVE 2015-2017<\/strong><\/a>\u201d (2017, The Music Company), a live album featuring 18 songs, each one recorded in a different stage all over Spain during the band\u2019s \u201cGAS Tour\u201d.
