El Vez
From La, California
First Twin Cities show since since August 6, 2008 • Fourth Twin Cities show on MN Live's calendar since May 7, 2005
From last.fm:
Because Elvis has become an international institution that can communicate across national and cultural boundaries, it comes as no surprise that El Vez - the self proclaimed "mexican elvis" - has come along. El Vez, aka Robert Lopez, has been kicking around the L.A. underground music scene for nearly twenty years. He first appeared in the early L.A. punk band The Zeros and then played in Catholic Discipline (which also spawned lesbian folk singer Phranc). Read more about El Vez on Last.fm.
