Go Out Tonight is the debut release from Boyle Heights band The Tracks. The noir-looking video — with visuals from the 1961 film The Exiles — sets a contrasting stage for the band’s poppy high energy sound and escapist lyrics:
When you go out tonight
Be sure to go outside
To rid yourself of doubt
Tonight
Where you will become itYou will go
You will know
In the middle of the night you will growNow pack alright
You know it’s going to be a long timeCan you
Speed up the processCan you
Go outside
For one last time tonight
Guitarist, singer and bandleader Vernancio Bermúdez, bassist Felipe Contreras, drummer Jaime Conde, and guitarist Jesiel Higuera rehearse “near Farmer John’s gigantic hot dog factory, and thus directly in the path of the Vernon Drift, the notorious stench of pig products that permeates southeast LA,” according to LA Taco.
