Now with a fixed drummer, that continues but is less obvious. Still, Creative Loafing, the arbiter of dope and cool in Atlanta, picked the Gringos as the best live rock band in the city. Characterized by high intensity, sweat-drenched performances, fans and critics alike have observed that every show the bandleaves it all on the field. Over and over they have toured the country and Europe, playing night after night and never missing a beat! Over and over their albums have broken into the top 40 on the college charts.
