COYOTES 9/6/12

In a jungle traditionally dominated by brass monkeys, jazz cats and funk foxes, there lives a pack of wild animals ready to make their mark. With members originating from L.A., Chicago, and Austin, Coyotes create a sound that is not only refreshing to the New Orleans music scene, but the entire Gulf Coast.  The guys have been in the city going on four years now, vigorously bouncing around smaller venues and building up an energetic, loyal fan base that proudly sings along with each song and skips around to their infectious beats.  Coyotes have taken on the challenge of standing out as an Indie band in a city known for r&b, blues and funk, and risen to the occasion. 

When writing their music, lead guitarist and vocalist, Duz Mancini, focuses on the quality of each song- aiming for a lasting impression both musically and lyrically. Mancini has been playing harmonica and guitar from a very young age and names Bob Dylan, the Beach Boys, and mostly his family as his biggest musical influences,  "A good song is honest and authentic," he says, "it should reveal something at the end."
