Blues Brother Castro

Just because it's fun...

About Me


"Perhaps THE most underattended show at SXSW..."
- CrazyTalk.Org SXSW Review
"My personal discovery of this year..."
- SXSW Review, Mtv2 (U.K.) Message Board
"...mind-blowing show..."
- Dutchsound.NL
"...this quartet fuses sex, whiskey, angst, and wit into a fluidly raw, loud and energetic set that will have you wish, wish, wishing they would either stay on the local music scene so you could hear them again and again, or wishing they would stay the night for entirely different reasons."
- Whoopsy Magazine, Austin TX
"Amsterdam's Blues Brother Castro invoke the manic energy of McLusky, where lines like 'Baby, my life's on fire' sound like recordings from the 911 dispatcher..."
- The Stranger, Seattle WA
"...their tightly coiled, angular rock brings things back to a simmer as often as they explode."
- The Mercury, Portland OR
"Blues Brother Castro picks up where the solid, driving rock bands of the 90s -- like Nirvana -- left off. The mild-mannered and soft-spoken Dutch group take it up several notches when behind their respective instruments and seriously know how to rock."
- Volume of Silence, Chicago IL
"They have received great reviews in their homeland of Holland, and when you listen to this album you'll know why. This album is pure energy!"
- Advanced Alternative Media, New York
