Member Since: 9/17/2005
Band Website: RideKarnaval.com
Band Members:

James Perez - Guitar & Vox

R.C. Knowles - Bass

Matt - Drums

Influences: The Doors, Rush, Jimi Hendrix, Fuel, Tito & the Tarantulas, Los Lobos, Mana, Juanes, Los Lonely Boys, The Connectors, Santana. Really anything that'll get your head bobbing, hips shaking and heart pumping.
As you can see from the small song list, we are pretty eclectic. Karnaval has taken from Spanish Rock, Latino Music, TexMex, Alternative, Classic Rock and Country.
