EL VEZ 4 PREZ TOUR DATES - CLICK HERE

Hola El Vez Fans,

Well i guess you've figured by now ... there will be no El Vez Mex-mas tour for 2007. Someone was really bad ... but if you really really need an El Vez Mex-mas fix, there is a little bit of X-mas in the new Teatro Zinzanni show (El Vez will be there until March 16, 2008) Teatro Zinzanni is in its new Seattle location. (teatrozinzanni.org) but the Mex-mas parts will only last till New Years.

But if you really yearn to experience a little Mex-mas cheer, here are a few dozen glimpses of Mex-mas past ... some of the fans who got to have their photo taken with Santa Vez. – CLICK HERE (large images ahead!)

Spain got a lot of El Vez this year plus
the debut of MI PUNK ROCK REVUE!
EL VEZ & NUEVO CATOLICO CATECISMO. The show was the hit of the festival. NCC is my favorite Spanish band. I had met them a ways back in Spain. I saw them once and knew they would be perfect for this project. Dig if you will ... Imagine what SHA NA NA did for the 50's ... EL VEZ w/NCC does to 70's PUNK ROCK! A mash up el vez good time show all on the punk rock theme. of course with the jumpsuits to match.  Very Glam/Punk/ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT/ Shout along fun. You know and love every song! Mixing El Vez and classic 70's Punk Rock including hits by El's childhood band the Zeros. XXXX was the perfect valet to El's Morris Day. The whole show was done in Spanish and was fantastic. It was filmed using a four camera system. We'll sneak out peeks to you in time. Plans are in the works to tour the show in Spain and Europe for the Summer of 2008. Lets hope we can bring it to the USA in time.

Seattle's EMP Sabor show is now on  American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music Oct. 13, 2007 - Sept. 7, 2008 The first interpretive museum exhibition to tell the story of the profound influence and impact of Latinos in American popular music. My gold break away mariachi suit is proudly on display. I haven't seen it yet but they tell me it looks nice.

Weddings of 2007. El performed two weddings for 2007. One for XXX and XXX in San Jose, CA. As you might remember...John proposed to XXX live onstage at El's Mex-mas show in San Francisco. Then El sang "Merry Christmas Pretty Baby" as the house went wild. Well the service was done at the historic deAnza Hotel in beautiful downtown San Jose. This was the beautiful SHAG inspired poster invitation to the event. Where El Vez appears ... larger then the bride and groom.

Then back to Spain for the wedding of Kike and Bea, El's favorite Spanish Socialists. It was a lovely wedding performed above a cliff looking over the ocean in Gijon. Its was followed by a lavish spanish spread at a fine restaurant then a dance party at the Club Louie Louie in Gijon. A rocking time was had by all.

The California Plaza show on August 18th was a blast. Dancing waters, el vez impersonators, El Vez dressed as a pinata, video project and live  YOUTUBE-like debates from the audience prompting El's musical responses. El debuted a new tune "Mexicans in America!" eat your heart out Kim Wilde. This was the official send off for the up coming EL VEZ for PREZ Tour 2008. That's why it happened in 2007. A short Cinco de Mayo tour of duty will hit the West coast ending in Seattle on May 10th 2008. Then our plans are for the rest of the USA during July and August. Get out there and Vote! Here is the official image of EL VEZ for PREZ 2008.

EL on the upcoming Munster Records release of the GOSPEL SHOW, whilst in Madrid.  Some rough stuff there ... but some pretty funny stuff too. It looks great with a 6 camera shoot. We hope to have it out by Easter of 2008. It will include many never before seen videos from a few different Gospel Shows of the past. Alas it might take awhile for it to get to the USA market. We will try to have some available for the Merry Mex-mas tour of 2008.
