When they heat up, they are amazing. Great original rock numbers, great Mexican folk music, and the perfect selection of covers (Bertha, Cinnamon Girl, What's Goin' On, etc.).
I gotta figure out if I can be in Austin in mid-September.

I think I've seen them about that many times, too, and they have never failed to give an absolutely amazing show. They did one of the best renditions ever of Traffic's Mr Fantasy as a 10 minute encore. And Estoy Sentando Aqui is one of my favorite drunken canciones ever. Maricela and Kiko also tend to be really well performed.
Have you heard any of the Los Super Seven albums? Cesar Rosas and David Hildago joined up with a bunch of other norteno artists to redo some old canciones and to write some new ones. The first album (in my opinion) is better than the second, but the whole group is just fantastic to listen to, if you're into norteno music at all.
