Well, we're going to release the album next month, and we're really happy to, you know, like, put it out. We're really excited about it because we have a lot of people working on it. Like, you know, Orlando Torres, he's the one that produced it and recorded everything. And then we also have Megan Boy doing the art for the album, so. We're so fucking happy about it. But next month, for sure, March, we don't want to tell you guys, but we're going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to surprise the date because it's going to be a surprise and it's going to be a big, big party. We're going to have a really, one of our really good close friends. Are you going to release it before the year 2013? No. It's been taking forever, right? No, we're just waiting for the right moment. That's what it is. For the right moment and also, you know, for the right people, you know, to be there and, you know. And it seems right, next month or this month. For sure. We don't know, but Natalie, you're going to have one of the copies before we release it because you always, you're always being there. I mean, dude, you know, I just want to let you guys know that, like, I really appreciate, you know, the way you guys, like, you know, treat all your fans and, like, the people around that come out and support your shows. Like, that's very uncommon in, like, a lot of bands that are, like, doing, you know, big things now because they think they've made it and stuff. But people remember, you know, people know, like, you know, You know when people are going to find out they made it? When they play here, they come here to the piñata. Yeah. Whoa! Woo! Right, my fucker! Right! We're trying to put on a trend for a nicer band, you know? You guys are doing great and I fully support you guys all the way. I have your back over here in Orange County for sure. So, you know. There you go, homegirl. Yeah. If we're in trouble over there in the OC. What? Oh, yeah. There's a story about you guys about playing at the, you know what? I played at the club before. What place was this? What's it called? What was it? Second Street or something? Don't be afraid. Come on. I don't even want to say the name of it. Okay, what happened? I don't even want to say the name because it's like fucking like advertising for them, you know? You said it. You're very lucky. I know it's the proof bar. Yeah, dude. Fucking okay. I don't know. Like, I love fucking, you know, I love America. We're not from here. We're from Mexico and every place that we go with, like people always show love and they always like support, you know, our band and the thing is like going there and, you know, like the way that they treat, like, you know, like us because it's not just one or two people. It's everybody. All of you guys are from Mexico? No, no. Most of them. Except for Joseph. Because you look so from the Philippines. That's Joseph, dude. Actually, Joseph and Carlos, they're from this country, dude, but their family is from Ensenada, Mexico. No le hace. Yeah, no, dude. Yeah, but I'm... Oh, Chile. But most of us, like, we're from Mexico City and, yeah, like, we just came to this country, you know, to look for a better opportunity and we all made it on high school and... We just came down here to party. That's all you do. Oh, yeah. A little bit, a little bit. Poco. Yeah, but, yeah, I mean, that OC, we love it. We love everybody there. You know, we don't love... Yeah, a lot of great bands. We don't love exactly... Well, I mean, there's a weird thing about, like, you know, Orange County. They seem to be a little bit, like, strict, you know? And I heard this story, like, the homie Peter, you know, told me this story. He's like, yeah, when we played, we were trying to play a show and, like, they didn't let, like, the Santosos in Matricula. And I was like, dude, that's totally, like, you know, that sucks, but it does kind of get... Dude, if you have Matricula, you can get anywhere. Anywhere. You can get insurance. You can get your SR-22s. No, the thing is, like, it's... I was 20 by that time, dude. No, but the thing is, it's just fucking ridiculous here, you know? Like, it doesn't matter where you come from. Like, you know, like, if you're one or two people, like, everyone in this country come here for a fucking dream. You know, like, for us to go to OC and, like, you know, treat all of our members, that way, it's kind of, like, unfair, but at the same time, just make me see, like, you know, like... Another side, right? You know? Makes you look at it different, right? Different way. But at the same time, like, I never... Like, I love America and I love this country and I love fucking L.A. and I love any city, you know, and I love the people, but at the same time, it's just people that have those rules or those laws or whatever, it's just bullshit and it's, like, it's... Yeah. Frustrate people. It's just frustrating. You know what I mean? I know they get, like, unhappy and mad about, like, you know, when immigrants come to this country and be more successful than actually the people that was born in here and been here for fucking more than fucking 80 years, but at the same time, it's like there's nothing to be ashamed of or there's nothing to be, like, you know, like, unhappy about it. It's just be fucking proud of where you come from and who you are, you know? Yeah. And I think Santoro says, like, you know, like, one of the bands in L.A. that is, like, we're all Mexican, we're proud to be from there. It doesn't matter how you came to this country or it doesn't matter how you are legally or not legally right now, but at the same time, it's just to be successful. And I think most of the people that I had met in my school and even right now, they've been more successful than the people that was born here or the people that was being here for more than fucking 200 years. Yeah. And that's a big burn, you know? But, I mean, whatever, you know? But this is all about music and rock and roll and, you know, being happy. I encourage you guys to, like, give it another shot. I mean, there's a right scene out here. There's a lot of bands that, you know, are being, like, are doing successful things out here. You know, there's, like, labels out here and there's, you know, like, you know, bands that are touring, you know, like, we should give it another shot. Like, I know you guys are, you know, conquering L.A. right now and everything, but eventually, like, both scenes are gonna, like, come together and I think it should be, like, I think you guys should give it another shot and, like, come and, like, do your thing here and, like, show people, like, you know, because no one got to see Santos in Orange County, like, and I think it'd be, like, a big show. You know, I think it'd be, like, a big success. No, definitely. Like, we've been, one of our best friends, Samuel from Topec and the Flea, we've been, like, hanging out and talking a lot and, you know, our plan is just going to the O.C. maybe for, like, after we release the album, like, next month we're gonna go to O.C. and, you know, play a few shows there then go to San Diego. And then... Well, I mean, I can help you out too, dude. I mean, like, my friend Lucas, he has a warehouse and they're doing, like, a show, like, on the 24th, Friday. Hey, Natalie, I'm sorry to cut you off, but we're getting more callers. Maybe you and him can meet up at Starbucks somewhere? Talk about business. What's the name of your website you have? Chocibana or Chocolate Chips? Yeah, Chocibana. It's, uh, yeah, Chocibana. It's C-H-O-C and then space I-V-A-N-A. I just wanted to note that we love you out here in Piñata. There you go. Hey, we love you. We're doing great things. She should come down, man. Yeah, you should come down. Yeah. I will, dude. Love you guys. By the way, dude, Peter, that's my friend from the Hauling Bones and, like, we really love that motherfucker. Like, I think he's Santoro number eight, dude, from this band. Like, he's always with us. He's always playing with us. He's always at our shows, dude. So, I think, like, Peter, dude, is an amazing person from the Hauling Bones. Damn Hauling Bones. Where you go? Blues. Yeah, the blues, man. Fuck a blues, man. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta take that bigger tone. Blues. Hey, you know what? Talking about blues, why don't we play some of your guys' music here? Yeah. Yeah, man. Go ahead. What do we got here? We got My Buddy Jim. What is this song about? My Buddy Jim. My Buddy Jim. It's about, um... Your only white friend? No, no. Actually, like, Jim is a really common name, but I don't know nobody Jim or... Jim Beam? Maybe Jaime, you know, which I guess translates to... We just made a Jim Beam. Yeah. Jimmy Ha. Yeah, yeah. This guy introduced me to Jim Beam. He's one of my good friends. I never remember after I have Jim Beam, but... Sounds like a rape. It could be anything, dude. Slim Jim. You never do it. Every time that you bring that shit, we always get 86 from any club. Yeah. So, go ahead. No, but My Buddy Jim's about, um... You know, a guy who has everything, but, you know, it's about... It's My Buddy Jim, but it's about a girl that he has that he can't live without her, but he can't live with her, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. He has everything. Yeah, he has... You know, he could satisfy himself. You know, it says he has a love machine to relax, you know, because everybody needs to relax, you know? You know. Manuelita. Yeah, but, um... That song, I think it was, like, the second song we actually did. Second song. Yeah, and it was just, like, an improv. All right, so for all our million listeners right now, why don't we just put your music on right now? So, yeah, yeah, so they know what's up with these guys, you know? If it's worth it to listen to Piñata Hour. All right, so this is My Buddy Jim here at Piñata Hour. One, two, one, two, three, four! My Buddy Jim got a little bit pain in his head as well. In his head got a little machine in his eyes got a woman in his eyes got a little machine in his eyes got a little machine in his eyes got a woman in his eyes got a little machine in his eyes got a little machine Got a love machine to be lost Got a woman in your kitchen Say my pretty, my pretty, my pretty My pretty, my pretty, my pretty My pretty, my pretty, my pretty My pretty, my pretty, my pretty My pretty, my pretty, my pretty Got a love machine to be lost Got a woman in your kitchen Say my pretty, my pretty, my pretty My pretty, my pretty, my pretty My pretty, my pretty, my pretty My pretty, my pretty, my pretty My pretty, my pretty, my pretty My pretty, my pretty, my pretty Fuck yeah.

Diego Prieto. You're welcome. Carlos Persichi. All right. Who's the one that writes the songs the most? Carlos. You are? Well, there's three people right here. Yeah, I mean, it's a collaboration about everybody, but, you know, it's basically you bring something and then everybody adds to it, you know? I wanna ask you guys, are you guys always on time to your gigs? No. Are you guys on time when it comes to practice? I have to say that shit. It's like... You know why? Because there's so many of you guys. It's like one, two, three, four. Every time. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, sixteen, twenty-eight. No, it's like, we never, we never, we never play on time, but the time I was late, I was like, oh, yeah, we always play late, right? And they're like, oh, they're barely setting up. No, they already finished, done, you know? So it's, it's, you never know, but you have to always be on time. It's always hard, man. Like, dealing with my friends is like, I know Diego for like nine years, my brother for my whole life. Carlos is my brother's best buddy since high school. I know everybody and like everybody's different like you know every time that I say you know what we're gonna be there at 6.30 like today I say 6.30 dude they showed up at a fucking 8 and they showed up at like 7 or 7.30 but you know what the thing that I like about this band in my first band is that like everyone is like themselves you know like everybody like I don't care like you know if they're drunk or like high or whatever they are I really don't care they're just happy and people love that shit like every time that we play like I'm sober I'm doing fine I can see I'm sober too I'm sober I can tell in your eyes that you just lied but you know the thing is like with Santoro it's like it's about rock and roll and it's about like having a good time having a good time there's no rules even every song that you know like it's been written like Carlos is like he comes he's like I have this song right now like what do you guys think and then my brother Adolfo Diego Michael Joseph everybody adds to it and it's like it's just about like you know like life experiences that we have with lovers or partners that we have before or like you know just even having a good time like the way that we started the band like you know like it was like about the son and sisters and it's like part of like an animal and it's it's just talk about our essence that it's just like don't give a fuck about anything and just being ourselves and just being real you know like even before we came here I was like fuck should I ask like what questions they're gonna ask or should I say something but then I'm like you know what fuck it fuck it just go with it you know what the name of the show it's a piñata I mean you look at it from the outside it's like it looks pretty good it looks decent right colorful weird we don't know we have to beat the shit out of it to see what's going on inside Santeros is colorful man it's like there's like white brown Asian costeño chilango you know what for the listeners who don't know Santeros okay and maybe some of you guys know but he's talking about the Asian boy right here he's not Asian he's the you're the singer right the milkman was Asian actually I think he was Korean or something no no it wasn't the milkman it was the guy that delivered the Los Angeles time oh yeah or the clasificados don't you recall or the one that goes by the neighborhood collecting all the metal it's like you know every Friday it's like collecting metal if you have any old it's the old man old man yeah there we go and by the way you know what he was the last member in the band but we all think that he was a really right successful man in music great addition to the band you know he was the last part but the best part and like for so many months I ask myself I'm like what about this guy you know what about this guy he has a long hair no dude it's not just like long hair it's just like I have an issue with his fucking hair but the thing he loves it too much no he loves it too much but the thing is that he's fucking amazing and people ask me like what about this guy and every time that I see him he's in his own world like I'm like Joseph what's up we have a meeting and Joseph is like walking around like facing out and I'm like I love this guy you know because he's just he's just crazy you know and he's I don't know crazy is good I don't know it depends what kind of crazy I'm crazy well we're all people you know what the thing is in LA people they all think that we're crazy and maybe we are but in a good way and I think people like that shit and people like that we perform yeah you're weird if you're normal yeah exactly exactly what's going on you know what you guys played for one of my shows here at La Cita La Cita and after you guys played and everything the night was done I was like these guys are fucking weird yeah you know what because everyone expected about Mexicans you know where they had the tequila like tell me okay I do it you know why is there a Mexicana is he just a musician at all no no no you know what most of the musicians that I think of rocker rocker with long hair you know everyone in LA not in LA in the states they think about the Mexicana the tequila they had I'm gonna sit down next to the cactus and you know what maybe you know it's like it's like it's like Speedy Gonzalez thing and the thing is you know it's like Stereotype. Stereotype. And the thing is, like, if you're going to be the kind of guys that fuck you, you know, like, we're here to make music and be different than anybody else. And that's what Santoro says. That is like, you know, we're here to make rock and roll music, make people have fun, you know, like, get drunk, do some drugs, and then go home, fuck your girlfriend, and then, you know, fuck it. Rock and roll, man. It's like, he does it on a Monday. This show is like Univision on THC. You know, it's like some of our people, they're like, hey, how come you guys are Mexicans and you don't sing any songs in Spanish? You do, right? You guys do. We're working on some songs right now. Yeah, we're working on some. But it's whatever comes out naturally, you know. You can't be like, oh, since we're all Mexicans, we all have to sing in Spanish, you know. But if it doesn't come out naturally, it's just going to sound funky, you know. You know, the funny part is, like, there's a few people that want to work with us and make a few videos. And they work with Mexican bands. And then they're like, Tony, like, Diego, like, how can you guys not save, like, you know, Mexican rock or Spanish rock and roll? But at the same time, it's like, you know, Santoro's is just what it is. Like, we never, when we formed the band. I mean, just because you're Latino or Mexican doesn't mean you have to fucking sing in Spanish. Yeah. Or because you have an accent. The thing is, like, you know, like, when we formed, when we made this band, we never said, like, oh, we're going to sound like this, or we're going to make this sound. We just went with it. Yeah. Like, we never said, like, okay, we're going to. We're going to try to be, like, the fucking psycho. So we're going to be, like, the Rolling Stones or, like, how people call us in LA, like, the Mexican Strokes. Like, we never say anything like that. We just say, you know what? We're going in the studio, make music, and fuck it, you know? Fuck it. Everybody's going to have an opinion about you regardless, you know? We're going to play a little bit more of Santoro's. Yeah. How about that? Yeah. What about that? Let's talk about Speak With Animals. We're going to play Katarini. Yeah? Yeah. She's Mexican, too, by the way. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Sometimes I walk down the street by myself and I think about her pretty eyes and her pretty, pretty head, too. Yes, I do. She doesn't love me anymore. She doesn't love me anymore. She doesn't love me anymore. I don't know why I still love you. And it makes me really, really mad. But I guess I still love you. I gotta still love her, so. And I do. She doesn't love me anymore. She doesn't love me anymore. She doesn't love me anymore. But I do. That was insane. That was really nice. Thank you. So are you guys going to release this on digital download CDs or? Yeah, everything's on record. Everything. I mean, we've been talking about it, the whole band. And I think we're going to do like, you know, some vinyls for, you know, for the fans that we always see there. And then we're going to make some CDs. And of course, we're going to put it on the Internet. But, you know, like. However you could get it. Yeah, however you can get it, you know, for free, whatever, however. Yeah. It's for you. It's for you. It's for you. It's for you. It's for you. It's for you. It's for you. It's for you. The thing is, you know, the reason why we make music is for the people that come to our shows. You know, we want to see them happy. And, you know, like Carlos, you know, he's the man right here. Yeah, we just want to get the music out, you know. It's not about how you get it. It's just listen to it. And, you know, it just tells what you think. That's one of the most important things. Because, you know, on shows, like, oh, you guys sound really good. Or this song I really like. And we try to play all the songs, you know. But we have so many. So many. We're going to fucking release this album next month. And then we're going to. We're going to go back to the studio. Back to the studio right away. Record the tracks. And then from there we're going to, like. Because the thing is, like, before Santoro's came out, we had, like, we made so many songs. That, you know, they're all fucking good. Yeah. We're just waiting for the right moment to, like, you know, bring them to the crowd. And the only song that they hear at the shows is only the beginning of Santoro's, like. You were just fucking ready for it. And, you know, whatever we made or whatever we're making right now is for you guys. Because the people that come to our shows, like, every single person is beautiful, man. Feel good now. Feel good. We really appreciate it. You know, it's like you say, you know, like, when you really care about the crowd and the people who came to your shows. Yeah. That's the most amazing thing that you can do. Because when you play in a band and then you become a little bit bigger and then you always forget about, like. People, dude, I don't think it's a good thing, you know? It's not a good thing. It's not nice. I think it's a best thing when you just keep playing music and be like, you know what? We're still the same people. I didn't forget about you guys. Just so you know. We didn't forget about you guys. No, we're seven. So whenever somebody gets, like, big, be like, hey, man. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, shut the fuck up and stop being a dick, you know? I remember you telling me about, I don't know if it was your brother here with the suspenders on. But about Santoro's. What? The meaning? It was a son. No, the thing, the meaning of the whole band is like. Oh, you know? Diego is the one who played the name of the band. Diego is the one behind his name. Yeah, Diego. All right, go ahead, man. Do your thing, man. Don't get shy, Diego. I know your girlfriend listens to you, but don't get shy, dude. Yeah, say it in Korean. You can say it in Korean. Spanish? Spanish, yeah, yeah, man. Santoro's. It's a combination of the negative with the positive. The aggression with the pacific. It's like saying the yin and the yang, you know? No, it's this. Santo is an example that is an angel. Toro is someone for me like something strong, aggressive. In a few words, it's like saying if you're good with us, we're good with you. But if you're a dick, we can be aggressive. I put my finger in. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Translation. Te coge el toro, wey. Exactly, yeah. Don't be a matador. No, I just know people say, hey, like any people, like any person, you know, came to us. And they're like, hey, what does Santoro's mean? And I'm like, okay, I just want to say it this way, you know. Santoro's is like a part of two different things. It's like sand, like sand, Toro's. Like bulls. So we pull that name together because it's like we can become a good guy. I get it. And also we can become an asshole. So it's like if someone are cool with us, we're cool with that people. But if someone try to be an asshole with us, we just like, you know what? It's just like the Woon Tong Clan. Yeah. You know, but the thing is that we've been in LA for like eight years. There's like seven of them, right? Also, there's seven of them. If you mess with them, they're going to throw you some kung fu, you know, some kung fu. Kung fu rap battles. No, no. Actually, there's six now. Old Dirty Bastard died. Oh, yeah. He died. He's rest in peace. He died on the... Yeah, it's been some years. He was pregnant or something like that. He's a crazy fool, man. Cashing his welfare checks, going with the limo. Yeah. Driving with the limo. Otra vez, mira, mira. He's drinking my leg. I got you in camera, right? Your leg. Oh, shit, man. I'm sorry about that, dude. But yeah, you know, that's what it is. Like Santoro's. Santoro's people, like, you know, a lot of people love us in LA. A lot of people hate us. Yeah, yeah. But you know what? It's about music. It's about being respectful and make people happy. Love and hate. Love and hate. It's the same. Yeah, it's the same. And any kind of feeling that we get is welcome. It's like, come over here. We love you guys. Like Daniel Fierro. Daniel Fierro. No, Daniel Fierro, dude. Dude, he's a fucking amazing photographer, man. We'll see when we see it. No, no, dude. We'll see when we see it. Okay, but I'm going to tell you this. We saw it. All of us, we cried with the pictures. We're like, oh, man. This fucking guy. This guy. Do you know which side I can look at it right now?
