As a bonus this week the band releases a special live album recorded in Europe on the band&#8217;s 2022 tour.\u00a0&#8220;Live from Marseille&#8221; is a full-length live album that contains performances of\u00a0Cruzados band classics and some new tunes from 2022-2023.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the CRUZADOS &#8220;Live From Marseille&#8221; &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/2rwLGDbxc0zCMb7mw8UxQ8\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/2rwLGDbxc0zCMb7mw8UxQ8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter performing in Marseille, France on our 2022 Cruzados tour I knew we were on fire on that special night and I\u2019m thrilled to say we captured it all on our new album \u201cLive From Marseille\u201d. The collection contains many of our classic Cruzados songs, hits from movies as well as all of our favorites from our previous release \u201c She\u2019s Automatic\u201d. I love hearing how the tracks went down live with an amazing audience on this spring night. It\u2019s raw, loud and If I can speak for the band , Ron, Loren, Mark, Rob and myself this was one hell of a night to remember from our amazing European Tour.\u201d &#8212; Tony Marsico Cruzados co-founder\/ bassist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlaying in Marseille, France is always a highlight when we tour the EU. Cherrydon, where we recorded the album, is a great venue. We always shine there and the fans are always so warm and receptive.

Signed to Clive Davis\u2019 Arista Records, the quartet issued two albums, Cruzados (1985) and After Dark(1987). They also made a high-profile screen appearance in the 1989 cult classic Road House. However, familiar rock \u2018n\u2019 roll pressures capsized the band in 1991; guitarist Marshall Rohner died in 2005, and drummer Chalo \u201cCharlie\u201d Quintana died in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>In the intervening years, Marsico worked on the debut album by Plugz and Cruzados singer-guitarist Tito Larriva\u2019s band Tarantula, today based in Austin. He also carved out a notable career as a top session musician and touring sideman with such artists as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Roger Daltrey, Marianne Faithfull, and Willie Nelson. The bassist\u2019s studio and road stories are collected in two books, Late Nights with Bob Dylan (2009) and I\u2019m Just Here for the Gig! (2020).<\/p>\n<p>With the onset of the pandemic in 2020 and the enforced solitude that followed, Marsico began to contemplate a new project under the Cruzados handle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing penned up with the pandemic at home for a year, I started questioning my mortality,\u201d he says. \u201cI felt like I got shortchanged with the Cruzados. We never got to put out a third album, due to a lot of crazy circumstances that cropped up. I wanted to do the band justice and go out on a high note. That was my goal, and to pay tribute to Chalo and Marshall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Material for a new Cruzados release came quickly. It didn\u2019t take long for Marsico to decide on the right musicians to carry on the Cruzados\u2019 legacy in the studio: He turned to singer Ron Young and guitarists Loren Molinare and Mark Tremalgia of Little Caesar, who were also active on the L.A. scene in the late \u201880s as a Geffen Records act. The core lineup was completed by drummer Ron Klonel, who has collaborated with Little<br \/>\nCaesar in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Little Caesar guys were Chalo\u2019s best friends \u2013 they were pals from back in the day,\u201d Marsico says. \u201cI had to find the best guy to be the lead singer. My tastes have changed a little \u2013 the influences are blues and rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. I knew that Ron Young from Little Caesar loved blues, and we got to talking and we hit it off with the same style of music. I knew that he could pull this off and get behind it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLoren Molinare was in the great \u201870s L.A. band the Dogs, of course, and I loved the Dogs, and Mark Tremalgia is a new guy I\u2019ve been working with for a couple of years now. Rob Klonel is a great, solid rock \u2018n\u2019 roll drummer. It was really important for me to get someone who hit \u2018em hard like Chalo. They were a perfect combination of guys, and they had a lot of enthusiasm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Bruce Witkin engineering and producing, the new Cruzados set up shop at Unison Studios in L.A. Marsico recalls, \u201cWe did it all \u201cold style \u201c\u2013 we just set up in a room all together, like we used to do records before they started putting everybody in isolation booths and all that crap. We got the band together and rehearsed, and we went into the studio a week later. Before we knew it, we had the album. All live, no click tracks. We all played in our own little area, with our masks on. Set up, play, cut the songs, boom. It felt great to rock with a bunch of like-minded guys. With our special guests, half of them came to the studio, and half recorded their parts at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links to Website and All Socials<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thecruzados.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/thecruzados.net\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100063778691570\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100063778691570<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandsintown.com\/a\/95120-cruzados\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.bandsintown.com\/a\/95120-cruzados<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/thecruzados\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/instagram.com\/thecruzados<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/@cruzadosbandofficial1057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/@cruzadosbandofficial1057<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28985\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelbrandvold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/cruzados-pr-2023-04-19-02-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For all inquiries, contact:<br \/>\nMICHAEL BRANDVOLD MARKETING &amp; MANAGEMENT<br \/>\nMichael Brandvold | me@mikebrandvold.com | 415-200-8483<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Michael Brandvold is a freelance music industry consultant based in Northern California.
