Band Formation
Manic Hispanic was originally started in 1992 by Mike "Gabby" Gaborno (aka Jefe) from The Cadillac Tramps and Steve Soto (aka El Hoakie Loco) from The Adolescents/22 Jacks, originally with the intent to perform doo-wop versions of punk songs. Members later recruited are: Chino and Mo Grease (members of The Grabbers), Oso (from The Cadillac Tramps), Mad Ralphie (aka Steve"Ace" Acevedo a Sound Engineer and tour manager), and Sonny (aka Tio). According to their Myspace page, the band members have changed since their first album.
The name of the band keeps with their habit of mashing up Latin/Cholo culture with punk culture, the name being a play on Manic Panic a brand of hair dye popular in the punk scene.
