Welcome to the home of
70's Rock horn band The Gringos

​New Release!!

2026   Fifty years after its first appearance on the bands debut 1975 Black & White album, The Gringos are bringing new life, new fire, and a new sound to one of their most beloved deep cuts. The band’s next single release, “I Feel Better”, reimagines the opening track written by longtime member Alan Harkrader—a song that captured the raw, unfiltered truth of life on the road and the unbreakable spirit of a young band determined to keep pushing forward.

Back in 1975, “I Feel Better Than I Thought I Was Going To Feel” was more than an album opener.
It was a declaration of survival, a musical exhale after days and nights spent barreling down highways, sometimes over 800 miles in a single haul, racing to make the next gig. It told the truth about exhaustion, camaraderie, and the strange second wind that always came right when the lights went up.

The new version honors that history—but this time, The Gringos deliver it with the full power of who they are today:
a seasoned, reunited horn-rock band with five years of renewed momentum and a catalog that keeps surging across platforms worldwide.

A Song Born From the Road

Alan Harkrader wrote the song with a simple idea:
capture the way the band actually felt after the grind of travel—half broken, half delirious, but always ready to give everything once they hit the stage.

The line about the comet nods to Comet Kohoutek, the celestial event everyone talked about but nobody ever really saw. It became a perfect metaphor for the fleeting promises and strange illusions musicians lived with on the road.
