one of the top rockabilly bands in the country by Goldmine Magazine, received 5-star record reviews from Blackcat Rockabilly
(Europe), Rockabilly Monthly Magazine, Blue Suede News, and Big Beat Magazine (Finland). The Mezcal Brothers are currently
on tour promoting their fourth release, "Go Go Rhythm," which was released on Jungle Records (Finland), and Spinout Records

Mezcal Brothers had the opportunity to work with and backup rockabilly legends like, Narvel Felts, Charlie Gracy, and Wanda

Mezcal Brothers because they are fabulous!" The band members are nothing but entertainers to the very end with their greased
up hair, flashy clothes, and some of the wildest stage antics you'll ever see.

members: Gerardo Meza (vocals, and rhythm guitar), Benny Kushner (lead guitar), Charlie "Fireball" Johnson (upright bass),
