Los Lobos cancels Scottsdale show

[Angelhair]

California rock group Los Lobos has canceled next Thursday’s show at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale in protest of Arizona's new immigration law.

The band released a statement this afternoon:

“We support the boycott of Arizona. The new law will inevitably lead to unfair racial profiling and possible abuse of people who just happen to look Latino. As a result, in good conscience, we could not see ourselves performing in Arizona. We regret the inconvenience this may have caused the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, Casino Arizona, Talking Stick Resort and our fans, but we feel strongly that it is the right thing to do.”

Los Lobos had been in negotiations to play in Tucson in September, as part of Hotel Congress’s annual HoCo Fest. Now that seems unlikely.

“We were talking about details but we hadn’t signed a contract,” says Hotel Congress booker David Slutes. “Now I’m not hopeful, to be honest.”

Los Lobos is the latest band to announce a boycott of Arizona following the passage of SB 1070, which is set to take effect July 29. Last week a coalition of bands, dubbed Sound Strike, announced it was boycotting the state.

Sound Strike is led by Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha, who called the law, “an assault on the U.S. Constitution.”

None of the Sound Strike participants were scheduled to come to Tucson this summer, though bands like Ozomatli, Los Tigres Del Norte, Café Tacvba, and Rise Against are regular visitors.

So far, Tucson has only missed out on one concert. Cypress Hill canceled 11 days before its May 21 show at the Rialto Theatre.

Did you have tickets to the show?


If not, why do you care? It's their choice if they want to cancel or not.


Last I checked, it was a free country, eh?

I applaud David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano and Steve Berlin

I love Los Lobos. They are a great band that has always had a social consciousness.

Si Se Puede!, their 1976 debut album was a charity album. Proceeds went towards the United Farm Workers of America.

By the Light of the Moon is one of my favorite albums

Los Lobos

One Time, One Night

Tears of God

As we know...all Hispanics are lawbreakers, murderers, and thieves.


That being said, they have the right to do what they want....silly tho. I believe they made a business decision based on their clientele.

 

[WillowTree]

maybe they can book a gig on catalinacalifornicatorisland. that'd be good.

LOL, who the hell else ever heard of this band before?

I'm sure Arizona is laughing it's ass off over this.

I know I am.

You are just plain stupid aren't you? Can't you get through your thick skull the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL?

I know the difference....however, in the heat their hatred, many here seem to have forgotten that NOT ALL Hispanics are Illegal.

Of course they can't.

It never ceases to amaze me how idiotic people can be.

These people are protesting and boycotting because AZ is trying to do something about the illegals, lawbreakers, that are in their State??

They are more concerned with the RIGHTS of a bunch of illegals than enforcing the law. Jeeze. Morons one and all.
