WHO

Angry Chiwawah is lead by multi-talented Carlos Villalobos. Raised in Chicago, Carlos learned to play drums, bass, piano and guitar before spending his teens playing drums in rock, pop, and blues bands. In his early 20's he began writing and producing songs for artists in R&B, Pop, Rock, Electronica, Christian, and Jazz/New Age genres as well as doing studio session work for major labels/artists. In 1998 he signed with Higher Octave/Virgin Records with his instrumental project, ESPERANZA (i.e., Gypsy Kings) and made Los Angeles his new home.

SOUND

He's always been into heavier music, though, and soon ventured off into his ultimate project: ANGRY CHIWAWAH - a rock band with heavy guitars, eerie synth textures, and Latin rhythms and drum loops. Inventive nylon guitar textures with vocal hooks and melodies abound. It's solid rock, falling somewhere between Linkin Park's commercialism and the arcane inventiveness of Filter or Nine Inch Nails. ~ review by CD BABY ~


ANGRY CHIWAWAH also has all twelve songs from their first independent album, "UNLEASHED" (Alistar/Rhodium) featured on MTV's Real World, Road Rules, Making of The Band, Battle of the Sexes and several other reality shows as well as CSI:NY, Criminal Minds, How I Met Yor Mother, Close to Home and many more.

I looked all over MTV and the Net to find the song and artist. I was in love with "Suddenly" and couldn't wait to discover this band."

"Angry Chiwawah is hard, heavy, and melodic, driving high energy alternative rock n roll. It's musically complex, catchy, and most of all, current. Carlos Villalobos pours his heart out on this disk. With it's latin influences, "Unleashed" needs to be recognized as a musical breakthrough. Angry Chiwawah deserves national recognition and billing on one of the large summer tours of 2007!!!


-Cutter (Music Fanatic)


______________________________________


"I haven't heard a whole lot of great music being released recently, but after hearing "Unleashed," I'd have to say Angry Chiwawah changed my mind. The music is awesome, the band loaded with talent, and the song writing is fresh. On a trip to LA, I caught the band at the Knitting Factory and what a show? What a great evening and got a chance to meet the band. Definitely a group of musicians on the rise. If you don't have the CD, get it now and start enjoying some kickass tunes. Can't wait for the next CD release."


-Chris Schuyler, San Diego, CA

"Unleashed is a great album. The songs feature powerful choruses, tasty instrumentations and a balanced range of sounds. It's all I need to enjoy a record. Watch out for the hidden tracks! I saw these guys live too and it was a pleasure to see them mastering both plugged and unplugged shows.


- Antoine Gautier (drummer)

I gave them the website so they could give it to their friends. Their next questions were, "When is he going on tour?" "Can we go?". I told them when you come to our area they can go! Then they asked if they could get back stage! They are too funny!!!"
