I admit it was the inclusion of Kyle O'Donnell's saxophone in the first place that threw me off about Los Einstein, wondering how exactly a sax would fit with a modern hard rock and soul band. But after the subtle funk began to creeep in around the rock reminiscent of early Incubus, I began to get an inkling. The raw, fiery sound of Kyle's sax seemed a perfect compliment to lead singer Matt Einstein's soulful yet gritty Chris Cornell-style vocals. I understood further after reading about how the band formed on their website: when Matt Einstein and guitarist Chris Vazquez first decided to go into the music making business together, they vowed to create a band that eschewed mediocrity with "an uncompromising mix of raw talent and innovative, original song writing". - What We Talk About: Show Reviews

Thursday night you could be sitting at home, catching some shelter from this dreary LA weather, or you could be out on the town listening to new music and doing it all for a very good cause. Thursday at Playhouse, before the club kids come out and the crowd gets rowdy on vodka tonics, local band Los Einstein will be putting on a free event sponsored by Lords Clothing.
Los Einstein is the latest band to cause a stir in the LA music scene for their fun and unique sound of Latin-infused rock (how perfect is that for LA?). Los Einstein will play a live show, present their latest music video and encourage everyone (Clubplanet readers included) to go online and purchase their album not only because their music is worth playing on repeat but also because proceeds from their online sales will go to the charity “Tag the World."
Join celebrity guests for this right-after-work event at Playhouse featuring not just music but an open bar from 8-9:30 p.m. Worth getting a little wet in the rain, right?

LOS EINSTEIN
Los Einstein blends the swagger of raw rock-n-roll with classy jazz melodies and the smooth grooved drive of funk and soul to create a renewed sound for today’s air waves.
When a charismatic front man from New York, Matt Einstein, met writing partner/ guitarist, Chris Vazquez, they both agreed “there is, sadly, a growing acceptance of mediocrity in American culture”. Building on this belief they decided Los Einstein would be an uncompromising mix of talented musician ship and innovative, original song writing.
With the addition of Bolivian Drummer- Enrique Lara, Californian Bass Player- Justin Smolian and Alaskan Saxophonist - Kyle O'Donnell, the Los Einstein sound was born and continually evolves.
“Everything is done organically; we play what we feel while keeping an ear to all of our individual influences and styles. There’s no definite structure or sound that we hold our selves to, there’s no pop formula being catered to.” – Christopher Vazquez -Guitar.
“We’re not about over production. We play music that is natural, can be performed any time anywhere with basic instruments and sound great” – Justin Smolian – Bass
Los Einstein aims to keep their music honest and tasteful, but most importantly they strive to be innovative in their approach. Having recently released their debut effort "Can't Let The Dream Die” a live record, Los Einstein is making a bold and positive statement hoping that like minded musicians and fans will join them in the cause.
