Los Lobos back on the road -- as usual
The members of Los Lobos will spend much of 2003 the same way that they've spent the bulk of the last two decades--on the road.
The Los Angeles band's schedule includes a mix of headlining dates and festival shows. The headlining shows often run for more than two hours, and feature plenty of improvisation and jamming. The band's festival sets, meanwhile, tend to be more tightly structured.
The itinerary already stretches into September, and many more dates will likely surface in the coming months.
In 2002, Los lobos issued its 11th studio album, "Good Morning Aztlán." The band co-produced the 14-track collection--which entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 82--with John Leckie (Radiohead, Stone Roses).
Last year marked the 25th anniversary of Los Lobos' recording career, which began with the release of 1977's "Los Lobos del Este de Los Angeles."
"Good Morning Aztlán is where we're at in our lives as songwriters and musicians, putting it down exactly how we see it and hear it, just singing and playing our hearts out," band member Louie Peréz said in a statement. "What really amazes me after this long, we've not only becoming stronger as a band, but we've been able to maintain a sense of enthusiasm and discovery about ourselves and our music."
In 2000, the band released the four-CD box set "El Cancionero Mas y Mas." The following year, the group received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami.
