About the Band

JUST Not just another band from the RGV. Why? Well, the plan is simple. Ride the ride until the wheels fall off. When the wheels fall off get a brand new set and ride them down as well. That’s the idea that was sold to the two piece band when they formed in the Summer 1998 under the indie label Taurgon Records. What started out as an acoustic band has grown to a four piece electric rock and roll band. They have opened up for Skid Row, Silver Tide and believe it or not Paul Wall. As the years went by Tracey hired and fired many members. They finally decided they got the chemistry right and kept Joel “Fatbeats” Lozano, who plays drums and is influenced by John Bonham, Nick Mason, Roger Taylor and Buddy Rich. Steven Saldana, who plays bass and is influenced by John Paul Jones, Noel Redding, Bob Daisley and the late Cliff Burton. Alvado Villanueva, who plays lead and rhythm guitar and is influenced by Vivian Camble, Randy Rhodes and  Adrain Smith. Mendiola who tries to sing is influenced by Adam Durits, David Gahan, Peter Gabriel, Brian Ferry, and the late great Freddy Mercury. They have recorded an E. P. with Taurgon Records, which was released in the summer of 2007. They will be releasing their debut album “Blue above the Wire” in the summer of 2008. So, as sure as wheels turn and wheels blow out, Tracey remains.
