Los Mocos

Los Mocos are an American punk band, formed in 2020 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The group consists of bassist Jessica Ramirez, drummer Santiago Saenz, and guitarists Ema Beckley and Andres Esquivel. They have recorded one EP and one album; Snot Music: Born In the Pandemic to Make Ya Sick released in September 2021, and Burning Down the Burrito Joint released in August 2023, both through Just Farts Records.

History

Los Mocos was formed in 2020, when bassist Jessica Ramirez attached flyers around the University of New Mexico looking for instrumentalists for a punk band. She then recruited Santiago Saenz on drums, and Felipe Gutierrez and Andres Esquivel on guitars. A few months after, Gutierrez dropped from the band because he was moving to Portland, Oregon. Shortly after, Carlos Renfro joined the band as a guitarist. After playing several gigs around Albuquerque in 2022, Los Mocos were invited to join Santa Fe, New Mexico band The Illegal Aliens on their tour around Texas in June of that year. In September 2022, Los Mocos released their debut EP, Snot Music: Born in the Pandemic To Make Ya Sick. After the release of their EP, Renfro was dropped from the band due to personal tensions, and the band continued as a three piece for the rest of 2022. In January of 2023, Ema Beckley was recruited as their new guitarist. In June of 2023, Los Mocos released Jesus Was a Salamander as a single for their upcoming album, and had a tour with Steev and the Bitch Club in California. In early August, they released their second single, The Nasty Seahorse. Later that month, Los Mocos released their first full-length album, Burning Down the Burrito Joint.
