Spain Colored Orange

I ain't sayin' , I just tell it like it is!

About Me

In 2004, musicians Gilbert Alfaro (Vocals/Piano/Synth), Eric Jackson (Trumpet/Organ), Steve Torres (Drums) and The Dugat (Guitars) formed a soulful 70s rock alliance formerly known as 8Track Charade. As individuals, these members contributions defined the sound of such talented groups as Blueprint, Refuse to Fall, the Super Market All-Stars,Last Summer, Filthy McNasty and DrillBoxIgnition but they had no notion of the kind of monster they would create by joining forces. Now with a new and improved lineup and name change, Spain Colored Orange is ready to redefine your perception of the Houston music scene.
