Chilean Rock Icons Los Tres Set To Release 'Hagalo Usted Mismo' On September 26, 2006

SANTIAGO, Chile (Los Tres Website) - Los Tres, one of Chile's most important contributions to rock music, is back! "Hagalo Usted Mismo" (Do It Yourself) is the title of the trio's latest studio album, the follow up to 2001's "Freno de Mano". "Hagalo Usted Mismo" combines melodic rock with traditional Chilean folkloric influences and instruments, as well as classic rock sounds. "Camino", the first single, has an upbeat, vintage rockabilly sound; the single broke radio records for initial airplay on its Chilean release and has been going strong on rock stations throughout Mexico.

The album, produced by Joe Blaney (The Clash, Prince, Charly Garcia) was recorded earlier this year in New York City and features the participation of drummer Steve Jordan (Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin) and Cafe Tacuba's Emmanuel del Real, who in addition to contributing as an invited musician also produced and mixed several of the songs. The collaboration with Cafe Tacuba was a natural step after the success of Tacuba's four-song EP of Los Tres covers "Vale Callampa," which brought Los Tres back into the spotlight and introduced the trio to an international audience. Del Real accompanied Los Tres before a crowd of 30,000 fans in Santiago, Chile and also at their performance at the Latin American equivalent of Coachella, Vive Latino in Mexico City.

Los Tres, originally formed in Concepcion in the late 80's, is Alvaro Henriquez (vocals, guitar, piano), Angel Parra (lead guitar) and Roberto "Titae" Lindl (bass).
