S.C.O Bio

Imagine yourself running through the streets of Pamplona. A bull is hot on your heels, ready to toss you on his horns and call it a day. You weave through the streets, running for your life and running out of breath. You're exhausted-and out of nowhere you hear a band playing. You stop for a moment, intrigued, when suddenly, the chase is over. That band is 'Spain Colored Orange'.
You can't help but stop to listen when this band plays. They came out of nowhere with this catchy, persistent music, combining a variety of musical genres, from indie rock to 70's rock to psychedelic to jazz to Tijuana brass.

About S.C.O

In 2004, musicians Gilbert Alfaro (Vocal/Piano/Synth) and Eric Jackson (Trumpet/Organ), formed a soulful 70s rock alliance formerly known as 8Track Charade. As individuals, these members contributions defined the sound of such talented groups as Blueprint, Refuse to Fall, Japanic, and the Super Market All-Stars, but they had no notion of the kind of monster they would create by joining forces. Now with a new and improved lineup and name change, Spain Colored Orange is ready to rock your i-pod and redefine your perception of the Houston music scene.
