Playing Luck Reunion. They are listed in the email lineup but aren't on the poster. They are also the KUTX artist of the month for this month (Black History Month. Guess no black artists to highlight this month).
Their journey took an unexpected turn when their music reached the ears of Grammy Award–winning producer, songwriter, and Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach. Auerbach first heard them by chance, their music floating from an open hotel window and stopping him in his tracks. Captivated, he made a note to track them down, and within a year that chance encounter led to something bigger.
Now signed to Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label, The Animeros are preparing to release their debut album later this year, produced exclusively by Auerbach himself.
It says their name was "inspired by Colombian shamans who would usher lost souls to peace."
It also describes their sound: "crafts a genre-blending sound that drifts between the lush jungles of Colombia, the palm-lined streets of 1960s coastal Mexico, and the dusty cantinas of West Texas."
Waterloo Records filmed their in-store performance. It is here. (I wonder if they film all the in-stores now?)
Here is their first single. Good festival music.

Yes, I've thought about the February artist of the month not being Black this year. They were the past two years, so not sure the thought process. At first I thought, maybe because they have Black artists of the month throughout the year and don't want to seem like they are throwing a performative bone. BUT, 2024 seemed to have good representation, 2025 not so much. Hmm....
