On February 3, 2007 a new fusion of Tejano, Conjunto, and Cumbia Music
emerged as the now well known band “Da Krazy Pimpz” was born.
Founders Eddie Jimenez and Eloy Cortines began the project by combining
their ideas, talents, and voices to form something newer, crazier, but yet
giving their fans great danceable music to enjoy. The opportunity
came to be when Tejano Superstar Singer “Gary Hobbs” from the same
town of Eagle Pass, TX. signed Eddie and Eloy to his own independent
record label “AMMX Records” to a 4 year contract. Gary along with his
son Gary Lee Hobbs have both guided and produced “Da Krazy Pimpz”
with their knowledge and years of experience in “la onda tejana”. Their
first album “El Pachuco Nuevo” presented the audience with their colorful
Pimp Suits which was never before seen in the Tejano Industry. The single
“Cumbia De Los Pimpz” which was written by Eddie himself went on to
open the doors for “Da Krazy Pimpz” to Mexico and several Tejano driven
States in the U.S. The song picked up airplay from Tejano and Regional/Mexican
radio stations everywhere and top stations like KXTN Tejano 107.5 in
San Antonio, TX. And Que Pasa 99.5 in McAllen, TX. To Top off a great
year in 2008, “Da Krazy Pimpz” were then invited to perform the hit song
“Cumbia De Los Pimpz”at the 2008 Tejano Music Awards by President Frank Salazar,
sporting their Zebra Pimp Suits the band performed along with their friends
from Eagle Pass, “The Latin Dancers” for a performance to remember.
The guys then received a call from a long time friend and promoter in
Monterrey N.L. MX. Mr. Lino Noe Yañez from “Tejano Music Productions”
and took them on his wing on several tours to San Luis Potosi, and Monterrey,
pushing their music deep into the heart of his Mexican Country with songs
like “Demasiado Romantica”, and “Por Tu Amor” Featuring Gary Hobbs
from their second album entitled “Pimpin It!!” Throught 2008 and 2009
the band toured the states of Texas, Florida, California, Arizona, Washington,
Idaho, Kansas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, receiving
numerous nominations to well known Award Shows such as the “Tejano
Music Awards” and “Premios A La Musica Latina”. Their new album entitled
“Los Reyes Del Conjunto” which is the 4th under AMMX Records, is set to be
released in the fall of 2010 with the band more matured and experienced,
this album is set to be one of their best albums released yet. This album contains
2 crossover (villera cumbias) entitled “Pamela”, and “Una Copa Mas” which will
definatly have a different twist to their original style. Along with the great conjunto
songs, this album will be one to remember. Da Krazy Pimpz have cemented their
“controversial” name in one of the top conjunto bands in the industry today in
2010. They have gained the hearts of many fans throught the world with the
power world wide web spreading their music using the great internet tools of
today such as myspace and facebook. Da Krazy Pimpz thank all the fans for
the continued support throught the years and to everyone who makes this project possible
