SOLAZ TM

Solaz was founded by Alex, Singer/guitarist/composer and music producer. Solaz has been through many lineup changes, but now proudly counts on a solid lineup. Solaz has begun writing and recording the new album in Los Angeles after relocating to Los Angeles some months ago.
Recently, Solaz completed a four month tour of Peru, and Chile in South America where they finished their tour headlining the Jorge Basadre Stadium in Tacna, Peru. Their international multi-city tour brought Solaz the opportunity to perform not only in some of the biggest venues availabe in the countries but also in the biggest TV shows in those countries, visited many radio stations, got a lot of press in magazines, and newspapers, and performed to thousands of people all over. Solaz has also been guests on some major hit TV shows in the USA like NBC Universal's "Caso Cerrado"
Solaz's new single, "Illegal", is their latest offering. The significance of this song was that they were exposed to a genre of music that was very new to them while on tour in South America. This new genre is called Cumbia. Cumbia has an infectious groove, and very catchy melodies, and never before in the history of music has there been a fusion of Cumbia with the Rock idiom especially when considering that they sing this new fusion in English. It is through SOLAZ that we introduce to the masses a new style of music called Cumbia. "Illegal" is about uncontrollable lust and fantasies between a man and a woman. It's the sensations that you feel when you see someone – the heart beat – the pulsing of your body's rhythm.



Truth be told, this group is at the top of its game. They are rare in the industry with truly explosive music. "Illegal" is currently a digital release, but will be part of a full length album which will be released in Digital format and physical format in 2011. SOLAZ has 2 full length albums, "Solaz" and "Nexo" both of which are under the indie label Antares Records that are also available by contacting them directly via www.facebook.com/solazusa.
When talking about Alex's leadership in SOLAZ it has been said "He has a guitar wizard's chops and a songwriter's sense of balance", as stated in Guitar Magazine's Editor 'n Chief. Very early in their career, SOLAZ won the battle of the bands of the 1st Rock showcase in Weston, Florida, beating more than 30 bands. They were voted, Best Rock band of the showcase by club attendees and the voting board.



"Solaz's ambition is to become a new generation act following in the footsteps of the great American stadium rock bands. We are looking to beat the odds and bring to the masses bands that will keep the dream alive for future generations of bands", says Alex.
