THE ALTONS + THEE SINSEERS | Concorde 2, Brighton
The Altons, a standout in the West Coast souldies scene, have risen from Southeast Los Angeles nightclubs to acclaimed stages like Austin City Limits and the Montreal Jazz Festival. As part of Daptone Records' Penrose imprint, they've drawn audiences with Adriana Flores and Bryan Ponce’s captivating vocal interplay, supported by Caitlin Moss on drums and Chris "Bolillo" Manjarrez on bass. Their track “When You Go (That’s When You’ll Know),” even sampled by Mary J. Blige, highlights their broad appeal.
Their debut album, Heartache in Room 14, produced by Bosco Mann, marks a new creative chapter. Ponce reflects, "This album changed our approach to songwriting and recording," while Flores adds, "Working with Gabe at Penrose reshaped our songwriting." Tracks like “Waiting” reveal their lyrical depth, while “Del cielo te cuido” and “Perdóname” blend traditional bolero roots with modern instrumentation. “Your Light” adds a dreamy, heartfelt touch to the album’s diverse sounds.
Thee Sinseers are part of the Colemine Records family led by Terry Cole, who released their first singles, “It Was Only A Dream” and “I Don’t Mind” in 2019, with a full length LP, “Sinseerly Yours” releasing in March 2024. The band’s song “Seems Like” was also included in the inaugural compilation, “Presenting Penrose Records” from the Penrose imprint of the renowned, Brooklyn-based label, Daptone Records. The song “It Was Only A Dream” was featured in the feature film “Self Reliance” starring Jake Johnson, and in the TV show, “Riverdale”
