Perez and his band perform at Wooly Bully's nightclub in downtown Corpus Christi tonight, touring behind their "Resurrection" album, a bilingual rock project released earlier this year.
The ChrisPerez band, formed in Corpus Christi, has built a sound that distinctly reflects South Texas culture, part rock and part Latin, forged in Tejano, reflecting influences as far flung as psychedelic British pop, classic blues and jazz, and flamenco traditions.
Perez and his band members were writing songs without regard to fitting into marketing niches, less concerned with courting either a Spanish-speaking or English-speaking audience than writing songs that moved them, Randle said.
Chris did not try to cover up the fact that he had his guts punched out on March 31st, 1995 when he lost the woman he loved.
This CD was an emotional release for Chris and allows those of us who loved Selena from afar to address some of what we felt and still feel.
Chris is best known for his vintage white Fender Stratocaster but he is also known to play a variety of unusual, vintage electric and acoustic guitars.
