Joe
King Carrasco
|
Singer,
Songwriter ..... |
 |
| In
the early 1980's "Joe King Carrasco" was the toast
of Texas as the crown regent of the "nuevo wavo"
crowd. In 1978 he released an LP titled Tex-Mex Rock &
Roll with his band El Molino. Somehow this record made its
way to England and was re-released by Big Beat Records. Elvis
Costello remarked in the press that is was "better than
the Police". |
| In
1980 Joe and his new band, The Crowns, released their first
single, Party Weekend, and the label chase began. The band
became one of the first American groups signed to England's
legendary Stiff Records. During this time Joe toured extensively
throughout Europe, Central America, Bolivia and Columbia as
well as across the USA and Canada, consistently delivering
high energy performances where dancing was numero uno priority. |
| For
many years, Joe has donated his time and music to make P.S.A.'s
for the TX. Park's & Wildlife Dept., helping to spread
the word about keeping our beaches clean. In 1978 Joe's father
was killed by a drunk driver. So he welcomed the opportunity
to work with and support Tx.'s S.O.B.E.R. program, educating
people about the pitfalls of driving while intoxicated. |
| With
thousands of live performances under his belt, a dozen albums
to his credit, and fans circling the globe, it's little wonder
that Joe King Carrasco is still the #1 party act in music
circles around the country. |
