Smile Now Cry Later

SNCL holiday

smilenowcrylaterband — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 08:01:15 +0000

After this past Fridays show, I had such an awesome time covering Madonna’s super ultimate jam “Holiday” that I decided to quickly record and release a cover of Madonna’s “Holiday” and it is available as a free stream and download on my SNCL bandcamp. It is not only a cover of the song, but also a cover of the cover of her album. Of course, this makes me crazy with joy because I love mixing my photography with my music. This photo was all styled and photographed by Lizeth Santos (aka SNCL). Enjoy the jam and pass it on.

Much love,

SNCL

My new and first music video for Smile Now Cry Later is complete and ready to consume. It is also my directorial/editor/stylist for a music video debut! I am so proud and excited to share this with all my loyal booty shakers. Special thanks to the homie, Omar de Leon (my right hand camera man)! I would LOVE to thank my team of helpers: Rafter Roberts, Ruby Santos, Taj Easton and Montserrat Zuniga. Also, huge thanks to Visaya and Adrian Hernandez for helping me score that radical dream lowrider.

First Single Released!

smilenowcrylaterband — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:10:58 +0000

Today is an awesome day! My very first single has been officially released and it feels so good! I have been on a trip for the past week in the Bay Area and Northern California regions and today being my first day back in San Diego, California and it is currently 77 degrees and clear skies. Beautiful, gorgeous weather I missed so very much and a perfect backdrop to the release of my still very sunny southern Cali freestyle anthem. Today could not be more rad than that!

You can purchase at iTunes, SNCL bandcamp and stream at my Soundcloud and more! HURRAH for SEPT 22!!!

San Diego Music Thing

smilenowcrylaterband — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 18:26:57 +0000

For the past few months, I have been like a tornado running around trying to get so much done. I directed my first Smile Now Cry Later music video and (after months of getting things figured out on a budget) I am finally in the final stages of editing. I am crossing my fingers that the video is done by late this weekend. So far, it looks super radical. I will be posting some behind the scenes photos this weekend too! With the release of the video will come the release of my first single, Favorite Song:)

As if that were not enough, I am playing TONIGHT!!! Back from my hiatus and a tiny bit rusty…ok, maybe more than a tiny bit, but still totally smooth and cool. I’ll be playing at the San Diego Music Conference today Friday, Sept, 9, 2011 at Bar Eleven and will be playing at midnight. Ticket are still available at the door.

Photography + Music

smilenowcrylaterband — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 05:48:02 +0000

As you may or may not know I am photographer who also is a musician, which means sometimes I have art shows. I am going to be a part of a super rad group art show made up of artists that also are musicians. The unifying theme for this show, that starts on Friday, July 1st, is Americana.
Come hang out with me and listen to some tunes while checking out some holiday inspired art.

There will be an awesome opening reception on Friday, July 1st at the Jett Gallery in San Diego, CA from 7-11. Check the flyer below for all the details!
