Los Lonely update
Titled — what else? — "1969," the EP includes covers of The Doors, Buddy Holly, and Santana, and others.
The band recently concluded the first leg of a headlining tour in support of "1969." The Acoustic Brotherhood Tour began Oct. 5 and featured special guests Alejandro Escovedo and Hacienda.
Los Lonely Boys recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel, Good Day NY, and Fox and Friends in support of the new EP. The Jimmy Kimmel performance of Santana’s “Evil Ways” can be seen here: http://abc.go.com/watch/clip/jimmy-kimmel-live/SH005455790000/55676
In addition to releasing 1969, Los Lonely Boys have also shown their Texas pride in writing a theme song for the Dallas Cowboys. Lifelong fans, the band was excited to write a song about their beloved football team:

Ringo Garza (drums, vocals) explains the band’s feelings behind the decision to write the song, in a press release: “We bleed blue and gray, man. Fans since we were born. We wanted to do our part and write a good song so [the Cowboys] could get pumped up and win games, win Superbowls! We wanted it to be upbeat and anthemic. We asked our friend Kush to come over and work on it. He's a young rapper and added a fresh young sound to it. Jojo [Garza (bass guitar, vocals)] worked on the music and we laid it down.”
The Acoustic Brotherhood tour picks up again in February 2010. The band will be on the road well into the Spring, touring in anticipation of their next full-length studio album.
