Comanchero - formerly known as 'El Gringo'

The lights go down in the club as familiar legendary Western theme music fills the air. The crowd swells in anticipation as Comanchero steps onto the stage. What follows next is definable only in terms invented by the band themselves: country funk punk; sexy hick music; badland brain tablet gospel; jungle boogie on the farm. And so we are introduced to Comanchero's utterly unique sound, with influences as idiosyncratic as it's choice of name. From Merle Haggard and Frank Zappa, to Little Feat and Widespread Panic, elements of country, funk, hip-hop, rock, and roots can be heard in the Comanchero sound, which has been likened to a Southern-rock Cake or 311.

Hailing from Boston, Comanchero is a band on the move in support of Dead Gringo, which features fifteen diverse, yet cohesive tracks that put a stomp in the boots and the boots on the dance floor. Debuting at #21 on the jambands.com radio chart, the album successfully captures the live, rootsy sound developed by 4 east coast musicians in search of an original sound.

Veterans of the Boston music scene, from their years with jam band Free Lunch, brothers Bob and Greg Moon heard something fresh and visceral in the sounds and songs created by Sam Margolis and Andrew Kramer in their newly-formed band. Joining forces proved to be energizing and inspiring for all 4 musicians. Margolis and Greg Moon, pooled their songwriting talents to create the unique combination of words and sound that has become Comanchero's signature. Bob Moon and Kramer held down the corners of the sound with the strength and innovation they brought to lead guitar and bass respectively. Greg Moon stole a page out of Levon Helm's book playing drums and sharing lead vocal duties with Margolis who crafts his acoustic sound with flattop guitars custom-made in his hometown of Cornwall, Vermont.

The stage energy, combined with carefully crafted songs and precise execution distinguish Comanchero as one of the rising jam-influenced bands on the East Coast. The band's sound is edgy, tangible, eclectic, and totally danceable. As Jane Lindholm, Director and Associate Producer at National Public Radio observed: "Alt-Country Folk Rock melodies combine with great hooks and catchy lyrics to create a thoroughly enjoyable listening experience."
"Wow! That band 'Comanchero' shredded at the Middle East last night!"

"Did you hear that Comanchero's second album Americana Nueva just came out and features horse bells and banjitars?!"

"...she told me they were called 'Comanchero', original country-punkers of the North East, and the music was like taking whiskey aurally..."

Dirty Comanche

Whilst anally penetrating your partner, pull out and jam the index and middle finger of both hands into their ass. Wipe the poo stained fingers across their cheeks giving them war paint. Then let out a stereotypical American Indian war cry.
I gave a girl a dirty comanche. My war cry was so loud, my roomates thought that the Apache nation was descending on our house.

Comanched

When a white woman has been with a black man she becomes tainted. This line is from the movie the Searchers . In the movie a girl gets kidnapped by Indians. The girls after being with the Indians for awhile, act different-like savages. John Wayne has the famous line, "You don't want her back know, She's been Comanched!"

chanchero

A D.C metropolitan area term used to describe wetbacks latinos or people (from central or south america) that dress out of fashion, acts really uncivilized with respect to the american customs and traditions. They tend to like ranchera or boleros musics; dress in baggy unbranded clothes (such as paco) or dress as mexican vaqueros; and vulgarly attempt to flirt with a girl. Finally, they tend to be in clustered cities and linger in groups of the same. Also they act "ghetto" in public.


Chancheros tries to act like the americans of the United States youth, even if they are older.
Hey James, look at thoes chancheros running from the INS.

Those chancheros in Langley Park dress so ugly and always play those loud music when they get drunk.
