Fronted by Armando Almendarez (aka Mando), this San Antonio band was one of the few, if not the first, Mexican-American rock & roll groups in the late 1950s. They recorded some rare singles, and a very rare LP, for the Crest label, but never made anything more than a regional impact. Although the mere existence of a Mexican-American rock band in the pre-Ritchie Valens era is interesting, their actual music was competent but derivative R&B-soaked rock, with smoky sax breaks and Mando's foggy vocals leading the way. Most of their material was rock, R&B, country, and pop covers, the arrangements and Mando's delivery showing a strong debt to the New Orleans R&B of Fats Domino in particular. They never recorded after the 1950s, although it's known that they were still playing San Antonio joints in the early 1960s.
