La Kaza and Divino Nino @ Empty Bottle

Two bands with a history and shared members are performing this Sunday, March 24th, at Empty Bottle.

Divino Nino is Camilo Medina (vox/guitar/percussion), Javier Forero (vox/bass), and Guillermo Rodriguez (vox/guitars). Camilo and Guillermo were formerly in a band called Continental Breakfast. They just released their debut album Pool Jealousy.

La Kaza is a project consisting of members of Ornery Little Darlings and Divino Nino, and their debut effort comes out this April. Somewhat fitting for Chicago these days, the band’s name is a play on the local street gang La Raza, and they claim that they have built a home base in the same abandoned auto garage that previously was the main cocaine stock house for the gang.

Below is the first single, "Carmelita y Rosalita", from La Kaza
