Details:
Los Devastrados is a LA based blues and funk power trio. With influences ranging from Stevie Ray Vaughn to Band of Gypsies, Kenny Burrell, and the Meters, the band combines solid grooves with soulful improvisation.

Formed in the summer of 2007, Los Devastrados, was a group with a mission from the beginning- namely, to reinvigorate blues and funk in Southern California. The brainchild of guitarist and leader, Gabe Rosenn, the band sought to meld influences from jazz and blues to funk, and create a unique sound, both rooted in the past but trailblazing into the future.

Almost two years later, the group, including bassist, Jason Powell, and various drummers, including Douglas Dickerman, Miles Senzaki, and others, have amassed a steady number of gigs- playing at seminal blues clubs such as Cozyâs Bar and Grill, jazz joints such as the Pasadena Jazz Institute, rock spots such as Craneâs Tavern in Hollywood, and trendy bars such as Seven Grand downtown. In November of 2008, they played to their largest audience yet- over 200 people at the International Blues Challenge held by the Southern California Blues Society in Long Beach, CA. They competed against thirty bands and played a set of blues and funk covers and originals, electrifying the audience and changing things up form the usual I-IV-V scene.

With the release of their first album, 9 Blues, Los Devastrados, are poised to continue sharing their unique blend of blues and funk into 2009 and beyond.
