Deep Ellum Art Company Presents: Electric Tongues, The Beckleys, Los Shadows
Los Shadows was founded in San Diego, CA in 2015 by friends Andy Saldana and Pepe Gonzales. Building from a foundational 4 piece Indie Rock band, Los Shadows self-released LPs ‘Miami’ in 2017 and ‘NOT a Safe Space’ in 2019.
Over the last 7 years, Los Shadows cultivated a strong regional following on the West Coast built by self-released LPs, DIY merch roll-outs, regional tours, and supporting acts like Homeshake, Levitation Room, Tijuana Panthers, and DIIV.
Summer of 2022, expect Los Shadows to release their 3rd LP that brings their classic indie shoegaze sound with new splashes of psychedelic cumbia, followed by a United States tour.
The Beckleys, also known as Los Beckleys, are a group of musicians formed in the most beautiful neighborhood of Dallas, Oak Cliff, Texas. Being influenced through different genres, such as 80’s Indie Rock, Soul, New Wave, Progressive, Latin and Ibero-American Rock. Each member has distinctive musical taste and style of play, while still able to combine their talents to come together and form a fresh exciting sound.
Electric Tongues is a funk-infused indie pop group based in Dallas, TX. What started as a duo between vocalist Judas James and guitarist Stillwater Max in 2018 has turned into a jazz-refined four-piece with bassist Hunter Daniel and keyboardist and jazz instrumentalist Boy Jugo. With the members’ diverse sounds and influences, Electric Tongues has become one of the grooviest R&B-blended bands in North Texas and only getting bigger. With themes of love and lust, its music is comprised of electrifying guitar licks, silky falsetto vocals, funky basslines and melodic electric keys and synths.
Its signature serene sound, that’s both approachable and provocative, is for fans to dance and fall in love to, but also perfect for always-needed chill vibes.
In 2018, Electric Tongues released the three-track Finsta EP, which landed on local Dallas radio stations, and then released another set of tracks under With Love, Electric Tongues in 2020. That year, its single “Time Machine” became of its greatest hits and has since collected over 50,000 streams on Spotify. At the time the fairly new act gained attention from local Dallas publications such as Central Track and Dallas Observer, and blogs like Lyrical Lemonade and ComeHereFloyd. At the Central Track Music Honors in 2020, Electric Tongues took home the fan-voted “Best Pop Act.” Later that year, “Time Machine” made it to No. 54 in the publications’ list of Dallas’ 2020 Top Area Songs and then upgraded to No. 7 with its single “Black Magic,” featuring Dallas rapper Graham Malice, the following year.
