El Perro Announce February West Coast Shows
At this point it’s been a minute since El Perro‘s debut album, Hair of El Perro, was announced back in August. It’s also going to be a minute until that same record finally sees release in April 2022. Whether you chalk that up to holding it back until the band can tour in a bigger way — they did a run in August as well, so maybe not that — or the simple harsh reality of vinyl pressing delays, it’s a substantial stretch of time to sit on a release in any case. I do not doubt that by the time Parker Griggs and company hit the road in February, they’ll be itching to get out. Likewise the folks who show up at the gigs, if winter viral surge predictions are to be considered.
Nonetheless, my position on El Perro remains as it has been since the band was announced in 2019. I’m looking forward to hearing the record whenever it shows up. Nice when things can be simple like that.

EL PERRO is a brand new band led by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter/producer Parker Griggs of RADIO MOSCOW. The sound contains elements that fans of Radio Moscow will recognize, but this is rock music with a new, fresh spin and feel. The band’s debut album, “Hair Of El Perro”, takes heavy psychedelic rock as a starting point but jams into more syncopated territory, spicing its sound with Latin rhythms and hints of Funkadelic-style grooves. You could say that EL PERRO plays psychedelic funk rock, and you wouldn’t be wrong.
Beside Parker Griggs, EL PERRO also includes former Radio Moscow drummer Lonnie Blanton, bassist Shawn Davis, and guitarist Holland Redd.
