ABOUT
With the best stage show on the planet and a never-ending supply of musical ingenuity, it is little wonder why Mandorico has garnered an underground following the size of a small country and has sold tens of thousands of copies of their 3 independent releases. Since hitting the road in 1997 these boys have maintained the most rigorous touring schedule assaulting the eastern seaboard with over 800 live performances. They have participated in almost every major musical event that the east coast has to offer and shared the stage with various national and international acts including the late Tito Puente, The Wailers, Celia Cruz, Smashmouth, UB40, Foo-Fighters, Toots and the Maytals and countless others. In addition, Mandorico has made a number of major network television appearances as well as having their music showcased on MTV’s Real World and Road Rules and The Today Show with Katie Couric.
Mandorico’s “wall of sound” is made up of horns, percussion, loud guitars and multiple vocals smashing together urban rock, reggae, latin and punk yielding an incomparable musical monster. The band has paved its own sonic path and continues to recruit an ever-increasing number of fans as their songs travel outside the U.S. resounding in dancehalls and radio waves from North to South America and well into Europe. If you’ve yet to see these boys throw down live you are missing a performance against which all others will soon be compared.
Fall of 2002 saw the release of “Flamatam”, the band’s first full-length effort in more than 3 years. Written and recorded over the course of 18 months during and in between tours, Mandorico has come up with their most powerful and inspired collection of hits to date. “Flamatam” has yet to see the end of critical praise as the boys up the touring ante and expand even further to spread their stage-exploding gospel to those who have yet to see the light . Armed with a hot new record and a relentless group of seasoned road dogs, Mandorico is poised to take over the world and reign supreme.
