Houston \u2013 Here\u2019s a band to add to your summer playlist! Los Souldees<\/a> is bringing a fresh spin to classic soul music. The local band blends Motown, oldies, Chicano soul and Texas flavor into a sound they describe as \u201cMotown meets Houston.\u201d The group features Grammy-winning La Mafia<\/a> member David Delagarza, The Suffers<\/a> drummer Jose \u201cChapy\u201d Luna and guitarist Chris Casta\u00f1eda, who also tours with Pride and Joy<\/a> out of Waco.<\/p>\n

Their appearance on Houston Life<\/a> marked their first time on live TV as a group. They formed in 2024 but the guys have known each other for years. While in Studio B, the band shared how their different musical backgrounds came together naturally to create a unique sound rooted in the soul music of the \u201950s, \u201960s and \u201970s. Inspired by artists like Sunny and The Sunliners, Sam Cooke and Los Lobos. With their Texas twist their sound can be described as nostaligic and groovy.<\/p>\n

The band also explained the story behind their name, a nod to the \u201csouldies\u201d genre, a style of oldies music with deep soul influences especially songs from the 1950s, \u201960s and \u201970s that became popular in Chicano, Latino and lowrider communities across the Southwest. <\/p>\n

Following the interview, the band performed their song \u201cLets Jam Baby.\u201d Houston Life guest co-host Roseann Rogers couldn\u2019t help but dance during their performance. <\/p>\n

The band is preparing to release their second album, \u201cWildflower,\u201d The title track \u201cWildflower\u201d is currently available to pickup as a CD at shows and other events. Casta\u00f1eda says the record will be available on streaming platforms this summer.<\/p>\n

Fans new and old can also catch Los Souldees during their residency every second Thursday at The Big Easy<\/a> on Kirby near Rice Village.<\/p>\n
