Amores Vigilantes sounds the way San Francisco feels: dreamy, yet gritty; timeless but uninhibitedly different, just like their city.
With influences that range from '70s soul to '60s Latin jazz to any decade of Garage Rock, the band crosses bridges into musical neighborhoods that most others pass right by.

Amores Vigilantes sounds the way San Francisco feels: dreamy, yet gritty; timeless but uninhibitedly different, just like their city.
With influences that range from '70s soul to '60s Latin jazz to any decade of Garage Rock, the band crosses bridges into musical neighborhoods that most others pass right by.
When Three Ring Records released Amores Vigilantes' debut album, "West Coast Kingdom," all ten tracks on the record received consistent college and internet radio play - from Berkeley to Berlin, Stanford University to the University of Athens, Greece, and beyond.
On April 5, Amores Vigilantes released two new EPs on Three Ring Records. The first EP, "You Can't Live Forever In Paradise On Earth (Without Me)," is a hauntingly beautiful and brutally honest commentary on religious promises of immortality. The Spacemen 3-meets-Fleet Foxes title track blends a capella harmonies with simple vibraphone and glockenspiel melodies. The title track includes violin work from Anton Patzner of Oakland's Judgment Day, who will be featured on several tracks of Amores Vigilantes' forthcoming album, "Songs From the Atmospheric."
The title track off of EP #2, "I Love You More Than You Love Me," has already received a lot of college and internet radio play. DJs and critics around the globe have asked: Doesn't that sound like Bill Withers? Or Echo & the Bunnymen? The answer is both. And yet neither. All at the same time.
Friends since elementary school, singers-guitarists Delfin Vigil and K.C. Staubach, keyboardist-singer Jacob Schroth and bassist Jason McCrarey all began sharing their record collections and songwriting ideas around the same time they started trading baseball cards and Star Wars action figures. That childhood connection is the kind of thing you can't find on Craigslist, and one that can be felt in the energy of Amores Vigilantes' songs.
