1) House/Lounge Band from Germany
Jürgen Kadel & Marcus Finger of Hacienda both hailed from the 1990s progressive house scene around Frankfurt and met at a party back in 1993. One year later they founded Hacienda. Hacienda’s debut album “Sunday Afternoons” on Harthouse in 1996 impressed a considerable number of people and received favorable reviews in Germany as well as in the UK and in the US. In 1998 the found a new home at INFRACom! where they released „Narrowed Eyes“ the same year anticipating the Nu-Jazz phenomenen years before ist was labeled as such. 2000 followed „Third Door Left“ including „Sabor“ which entered the charts in Italy and Turkey for weeks. „Third door left“ was licensed to Japan, where Hacienda was touring successfully. During their years with INFRACom! the career of Hacienda boomed and their tracks appeared on numerous compilations. They already had became an internationally renowned act, when they changed for Ministry Of Sound in 2003, where they released their next two albums
If you ask Hacienda how they would describe their style they would say something like this. “Take a little bit of Bossa, Dub, Latin, Acid Jazz, Salsa, Brasil and may be some Funk elements, then add the specific Hacienda Flava and you got our style. Hacienda Style!
2) Rock Band rom San Antonio, Texas
The band has always been a family affair with cousins Abraham Villanueva and Dante Schwebel planting the musical seeds that would become the Hacienda sound. The two had modest musical goals but were unable to secure additional members that were on the same page musically and personally in 2004. Meanwhile the two remaining Villanueva brothers were playing together in a band at bars and house parties outside of San Antonio. The fate of their band was short lived, and as luck would have it, the timing could not have been more perfect. Jaime and Rene completed the lineup and Hacienda was now in full swing. The four began playing together for no other reason than to make a complete sound. "It’s strange, but at the time, we had no intentions of doing anything more than putting a cd in the car and trying to trick our friends into to thinking it was some professional band," recalls Dante, Hacienda's guitar wielding cousin. "We all liked playing instruments and were just excited to play a tune that we liked and make it sound as good or close to the original version, that’s it!" It was not until late 2005 that the band purchased a small digital recorder and began tracking demos. As a matter of fate, a demo of 6 songs made it to the hands of Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and since then, the band's future would be changed indefinitely. Hacienda made quite a buzz in the music world when their 6 song demo was passed around from musicians to record execs, managers, and the like.
3) Indie-Alternative-Rock Band from Brazil
She's Got A Hold On Me
Hacienda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drowning in the light
She moved like a dream
I was inside
To my singing came a harmony
Caught me by surprise
I never heard so right
I was inside
She′s got a hold on me,
She's got a hold on me,
And I don′t mind
Sunshine rising, laughter starts to ring
A face that's just as bright
She never showed somebody
She moved like a dream
I was inside
She's got a hold on me,
She′s got a hold on me,
And I don′t mind.
I don't mind.
Hacienda's song "She's Got A Hold On Me" is a beautiful and poetic tribute to the power of love. In the first verse, the singer describes feeling overwhelmed by the intensity and beauty of his lover's presence. He compares her to a sea of spring, suggesting that her love is new, fresh, and life-giving. He also tells us that he feels like he's drowning in her light, metaphorically suggesting that she is so radiant and powerful that she is almost overwhelming. Despite this, he is so enamored of her that he describes feeling like he is inside a dream when he is with her.
The second verse continues in this vein, describing the way that the singer's singing is joined by his lover's voice in perfect harmony. He describes this experience as surprising and almost magical - he has never heard anything that sounds so right. Again, he compares his lover to a dream, suggesting that being with her is like being transported to another world. Finally, in the chorus, the singer unabashedly admits that his lover has a hold on him - and he doesn't mind. He is willingly caught in her spell, and is grateful for the joy and light she brings into his life.
Overall, "She's Got A Hold On Me" is a lovely and romantic song about the power of love to transform and uplift our lives.

Lay in cover, my sea of spring
I was comfortable and at peace when she came into my life
Drowning in the light
She was so beautiful and radiant that it was overwhelming
She moved like a dream
Her every movement was graceful and enchanting
I was inside
I felt like I was a part of her world
To my singing came a harmony
When I was singing, she added her own beautiful voice to complement mine
Caught me by surprise
I didn't expect her to have such a lovely voice and was pleasantly surprised
I never heard so right
Her voice was the perfect fit with mine
She's got a hold on me

Her smile was as bright as the sun
She never showed somebody
She was a unique and special person who didn't reveal herself to just anyone

Totally forgot about this band they opened for Dan Auerbach couple years back and they killed it. So glad i remembered their name. Going to keep up with them
Maxwell Sebastian
Damn. The Beatles resemblance is uncanny. Dude sings like John, plays bass like Paul, and the drummer is a dead ringer for Ringo. Not to mention George-y guitar work. I'm gonna be keeping a close eye on this band from now on...
