That’s right, our next Garden Party will no longer be with The Weather Underground, but with the newly named band Red Cortez. Because of various reasons the band decided they needed a little change. One of which, is with the departure of guitarist Shoichi Bagley who decided to leave the band for pursuits outside music. The band decided that it was time to start a new. Calvin J. Love, a native of Edmonton, Canada, replaced Bagley on lead guitar and with the new line-up came a new name!

As frontman Harley Prechtel-Cortez explains it, “we decided we need to keep the focus on the music and didn’t want to share our identity with anyone or anything else.”

The newish band will be touring in Los Angeles and featured in our upcoming Garden Party which will premiere on November 17th on BeatCrave.
