🎛️ Our own sandratrevino spoke with Chicano, family-run label No Se Discos about their upcoming roster showcase and triple release party at theemptybottle on May 1.
But before Jorge, Angel, and Lupe could start the label together, they needed to make some big changes in their lives. For one thing, Jorge couldn’t keep working nights at Whole Foods while Lupe worked mornings in retail. The situation reached a breaking point in late 2020.
That transition also made No Sé Discos a reality. “It’s been a huge adjustment but also made us stronger, for us and for other people,” says Jorge. “I regret not leaving sooner. You don’t just do it for yourself—you do it for your family.” “My brother and I made little tape loops where we would sample stuff off TV and movies and then create a collage,” Jorge continues. “We figured out how to do it with a microphone so we could make these little cassettes of all these weird TV shows that we would cut up, and we would laugh and laugh. Then we’d play it backwards and laugh some more.”
Allá intended their debut album to be a career-making masterpiece, but the “career-making” part didn’t work out., but they released the covers collectionin 2013. That period was a prolific one for Allá, but most of the material they recorded never came out. Their attempts to break into the music business petered out after they lost their publicist in 2016. No Sé Discos has issued some of the band’s work from that time, and the label has plans for further such releases.
