Maneja Beto CD Release

Indie en Español from Austin, Texas. Maneja Beto occupies the universe where Joy Division meets up with Café Tacuba in an East Austin cantina and riff on Eno-era Talking Heads songs.

Independently releasing 3 critically acclaimed records, the band has garnered invitations from Austin City Limits Music Festival, Joshua Tree Music Festival in California, and South by Southwest and seen radio play from KCRW in Los Angeles and KUT, KVRX and KOOP in Austin.

Maneja Beto have opened for Alejandro Escovedo, David Garza, and Austin legends the True Believers, as well as Grupo Fantasma and Los Amigos Invisibles. They have been mentioned by Latina Magazine as a “Band to watch for 2007". Their second full-length CD Accidentes de Longitud y Latitud was picked top Latin Album of the year by the Tucson Citizen in 2006 and a track from their 2008 untitled EP, "Campanera," was ranked one of the top songs of 2008 by critic Rogelio Olivas.

“Maneja Beto, from Austin, played Latin alternative rock that confidently separated itself from models like Cafe Tacuba or Santana. The music was grounded in rhythms like the Mexican cumbia, but topped with cool keyboard tones that tilted the songs toward 1980's electro or jazz.” -NY Times Critic - Jon Pareles

"The best unheralded band on the alt-Latin scene continues to impress with its intelligent songwriting and innovative fusion of Latin, rock and pop..." -From Tucson Citizen - Rogelio Olivas

“The lyrics may be in Spanish, the rhythms Latin, but Maneja Beto refuses to be pinned down as just another band playing rock en Español or cumbia.”-From Tucson Weekly Critic- Annie Holub
