Between the release of their first CD, Brothers of the Castle back in 2001, to their 2006 release, Brotherhood, Del Castillo has received an astonishing 18 awards including SXSW/Austin Music โAlbum of the Yearโ Awards for Vida (2002) and Brotherhood (2006), โBand of the Year (2003)โ, ASCAPโS โBest Independent Group of the Year (2005)โ, and Austin Music Pundits โBest Live Act (2004)โ.
Rolling Stone calls Del Castillo โtumbling brilliance on nylon-string classical guitarsโ with โeruptions of technique and taste (that) conjure images of Eddie Van Halen fronting early Santana (with an assist from the Gipsy Kings)."
Film Director Robert Rodriguez attended a Del Castillo concert in 2002 and a great friendship developed between the two. Rodriguez then enlisted the group to contribute music to the soundtracks of his movies, such as โSpy Kids 3Dโ, โOnce Upon a Time in Mexicoโ,โSin Cityโ, and โGRINDHOUSEโ, and perform with him at the premieres. Rodriguez was so impressed with Del Castillo that he wanted to record with them, so together, they formed CHINGON and recorded an amazing electric rendition of the Mexican classic song, โMalaguena Salerosaโ. Quentin Tarantino loved it so much that he re-did the ending sequence of โKill Bill Vol. IIโ to fit the song into his movie.
By 2004, Del Castillo was touring nationwide across the country playing with such diverse acts as Styx, Los Lonely Boys, Ozomatli, Don Henley, Los Lobos, and Willie Nelson and continued tour non-stop through 2006. They have performed at three of Willie Nelsonโs 4th Of July Picnics, and at Eric Claptonโs Crossroads Guitar Festival, and they have made numerous national and local TV appearances.
Willie Nelson enjoyed Del Castillo so much that he re-recorded his song โI Never Cared For Youโ with the group (which is included on Del Castilloโs Brotherhood CD) and calls it โhis favorite versionโ. Nelson has become a good friend of the band as well and the two look forward to touring together again soon.
During 2008, the band began playing major festivals all over the country and even Canada and widening its audience at a much more rapid rate. At Californiaโs famous Strawberry Music Festival, they were deemed the highlight of the festival and broke the merchandise sales record. Immediately after their incendiary debut performance at the Vancouver Folk Festival in Canada, they were selected to play the headlining stage for 2009.
Rick and Mark del Castillo were recently selected in December 2008, by Gibson Global, to be two of only about SIX guitarists in the world to launch their new state-of the-art Dark Fire Gibson Les Paul guitar line.
The band continues to tour throughout the country, thriving on performing live and building new audiences, and songwriting and recording are a priority during breaks in their tour schedule.
