Nuevo Regimen

Nuevo Regimen makes its debut at The Dirty Drummer on Friday, October 30, in Camelback East Village. It's their first performance, and they're billing it as a Tex Mex Night, so the whole evening is built around that theme.

Nuevo Regimen is a country-norteño band, a sound they describe as a blend of country and cumbia music. It's a mix that puts two styles side by side—the twang of country and the danceable, syncopated rhythm of cumbia—and since this is their debut, you'll be hearing the band's first outing in front of a crowd. The night doesn't stop with the live set, either; they're sharing the bill with a string of DJs, so the music carries on well after the band finishes.

On the decks, you'll find MRPHX, Tranzo, and DJ Dana. With three DJs in the mix, the dance floor should keep moving long after the live music wraps up, and the whole thing fits under that Tex Mex umbrella. If you're into the intersection of country and cumbia, this is the night to catch them getting started.

General admission is $10, and there are optional table reservations available, which the venue holds until 8:15 PM. The music runs from 8 PM to 11:59 PM, so you've got the whole night to work with.
