The Carnivaleros - a cheese fondue, a steaming plate of question marks, music for films yet to be made, beats-a-plenty, random mode changes, a delicious sauce, squeaky squeaks, skwonky skwonks, effervescent velvety panty movements, lost and found, a collared peccary melt, three floating cacti, tonal largesse, a thorn in the sock of the music industry...but mostly a band that knows how to swing, waltz and polka in the same breath.

"The Carnivaleros occupy that ghostly twilight niche manned by lurking gatherings of really good musicians who keep a tight lock on neighborhood familiarity and loose professionality by capturing a Saturday Night vibe and keeping it firmly stoked." - Mark Tucker, FAME (Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange). 2007
