Texas Love Cartel

The Texas Love Cartel was formed by Albert Besteiro, best known as bassist and MC for the legendary Del Castillo band, in concert with songwriter Brett Allen Reeves (Dash Kizer, the B.A.R. Band), bassman Mario Gonzalez (Mundi, Katie Cash), and Charlie Siliven on drums. Ironically these Austin musicians met in Spain as part of the annual Pueblos Blancos Festival that mixes musicians from Texas and Europe.

The TLC sound connects Austin, Brownsville, and the Gulf Coast. Call it Americana leaning to soul, rock, and country blues. It’s music for dancing and singing along. It is *all* about the Love.  

There’s a few of us, and we’re underground,
But we’re ready to come above.
Strike any moment, conquer the world, 
Our only weapon is love.
