Totimoshi 'Ladtron' album

Totimoshi was formed in Oakland, CA by singer/guitarist Tony Aguilar and bassist Meg Castellanos in November 1997. After a slew of 6 drummers-some lasting longer than others, Luke Herbst joined the band in Febuary 2005. Totimoshi have recorded with acclaimed producers Billy Anderson, Alex Newport, and most recently Page Hamilton who worked on the upcoming Ladrón. Past releases have included 1999's self titled, ¿Mysterioso? (Crucial Blast 2002, enhanced re-issue 2005) and Monolí (This Dark Reign 2003). Touring constantly accross the US, they've gained a strong loyal following due to their innovative approach to heavy music. Highlights have included being handpicked by the Melvins and Helmet to open for their respective tours, and headlining Emissions and Stoner Hands of Doom Fests. A live performance in Dallas, TX for Budweiser's True Music series can currently be seen on HD TV and their music has reached the airwaves in Europe, Australia, Brazil, Cuba and the US.

Totimoshi continues to carve out it's own path with explosive performances, dark emotive lyrics and hypnotic sound...a true force and new direction for music made by musicians who follow no trend but their own.

NEW - reviews of LADRON

Totimoshi — Ladron
Take Oxbow’s perverted honesty, Bongzilla’s sludgy guitar attack, and Helmet’s crushing harmonies and you’ve got yourself a recipe for a thick stew dubbed “Ladron”. Tapping Page Hamilton of Helmet infamy to produce their album, Totimoshi show why they’ve become one of the more sought after tour mates on the stoner rock circuit. Oakland is known for many things but notso much psychedelic sludge rock but Totimoshi is slowly changing all of that. This album boasts clever lyrics sung with fierce deviance amid clanging guitars that wallow in thick distortion. The drumming isn’t just kindling either, indeed it builds and builds up the tempo and carrying each and every song—something that took a while for Totimoshi to develop after working through six different drummers only to settle on Luke Herbst behind the skins. Bassist Meg Castellanos doesn’t just provide the good looks, her chops are golden as she reaches back for some garage punk chords that even the Melvins didn’t know existed. Hazy sludgy stoner rock that shows the ‘90’s grunge movement what it missed out on.
