Backstage at Pachanga Fest: The Chris Perez Band Interview
Grammy award winner Chris Perez and Austin singer-songwriter Angel Ferrer have come together recently to form a new band. Tentatively titled “The Chris Perez Band”, they are already conjuring up serious interest on Austin Vida. The band made their world debut at this year’s Pachanga Fest at Fiesta gardens in East Austin. We at Austin Vida were able to not only capture clips of the performance on film, but also get an exclusive interview backstage with Perez and his new band while Mariachis played background music to set the stage for us. Ok not really, but it was a great audio background none the less.
