TIJUANA CARTEL
‘Acid Pony Tour Pt 1’
(finally), WA
after the year from hell
.
.
This tour was cancelled twice in 2020 with multiple border pass applications rejected and numerous flight and accommodation bookings cancelled or changed at the last minute. It’s been the year from hell for the industry and for Tijuana Cartel, as for so many other musicians, it’s been a year of disruptions, crushed hopes and logistical nightmares. Now, FINALLY, almost unbelievably, Tijuana Cartel are crossing the border, bringing part one of their upcoming album, Acid Pony, to Western Australia.
Their psychedelic, atmospheric dance music combines the sounds of the Middle East, India and Spain, and has made them one of the most popular and exciting live acts in Australia today.
After spending the last decade mixing in influences that haven’t been fused before, their penchant is for Middle Eastern musical scales, beats that get a floor moving and a general psychedelic approach in song structure and ethos. Not married to one genre or another, they happily change direction in search of new flavours and inspiration, whenever the moment takes them there.
Making the most of their unexpected free time in 2020, Tijuana Cartel set about writing and recording music for their upcoming album Acid Pony, due for release mid 2021.
The band had two studios set up – one on the Sunshine Coast hinterland and one on the Gold Coast. Writers Carey and Paul worked on songs separately and emailed the tracks back and forth. The two singles released so far, Minimal Stuffing and Sufi, both also have accompanying computer generated graphic clips created by the band. The clip to Minimal Stuffing was created from flowers and plants scanned in using a 3D scanner made out of a hacked record player.
Both singles have seen success in online, radio and streaming platforms through 2020.
“Globally eclectic the intertwining of instrumentation and music styles that bring together the feeling of interconnectedness between all humanity and illustrates a global harmonisation so well.” Nkechi Anele, Triple J

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
