In 2007 the band re-emerged with a new and revitalised line up and began working on a new studio album.
Following the completion of the new record they spent the summer appearing at festivals and in prisons as well as taking part in the music documentary WE DREAMED AMERICA alongside Guy Clark, Little Feat, Old Crow Medicine Show, Alabama 3, Tom McRae, The Broken Family Band, Willard Grant Conspiracy, BJ Cole, Kitty Daisy & Lewis, The Barker Band etc.
The documentary and Hey Negrita’s new album were both unveiled at the SXSW Music and Film Festival in Texas in March and both are scheduled for release later this year.
Hey Negrita's debut album WE ARE CATFISH and their second album THE BUZZ ABOVE are both out now.
Here are some of the things people said about us last year:
A joyful sourmash-sodden affair, blending country, rockabilly and honky tonk. One of the main talking points of this years SXSW festival in Austin, Hey Negrita beat a few Texans at their own game. MojoIntensely personal and refreshingly honest, like slipping on your favourite jeans. The SunSung with feeling and dripping with emotion. The music just takes you. Chris Coco (BBC Radio 1)Beautifully detailed songs. Daily MirrorNo other act has such a biting lyrical edge. Songs of this quality just dont happen every day. Blues MattersA breath of fresh air in amongst shoe-gazing guitar bands. Music WeekLondon's Creedence Clearwater Revival. The Austin ChronicleBest Southern-fried music. An album of dark but melodic Americana. Sometimes Dylan, sometimes Tom Waits. Sunday ExpressA warm, thoughtful and musical album. Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2)Delightful set of acoustic-driven country rock full of insidious melodies and harmonies. Classic RockA strong brew of mixed styles, all informed by their talent and extreme lives lived. Clash Never has a romantic meltdown sounded so good! The Critic Who would have thought that the old west would have collided so spectacularly with England's very own capital? Rock CityOne of the most surprising albums of the year, which looks set to become an entry on many critics top albums of 2006. Bristol Evening Post An excellent second album from a truly exciting band. MaverickCan't stop humming these irresistable tunes. Americana UKI love Hey Negrita. It goes with beer.
