Gypsy Pistoleros enter the race for the 2021 Christmas #1

So the usual race for the Christmas #1 spot, is dominated by the ‘big names’ of the music industry, with the usual comic options too. Competing against each other are Ed Sheeran & Elton John, Abba, George Ezra, Adele, Gary Barlow, along with The K**nts, who are re-releasing their track “Boris Johnson is STILL a F**king C**nt” which got to #5 in 2020, and….. Ladbaby, who are looking to become the first ‘artists’ in history to get four consecutive Christmas #1’s with this years song “Sausage Rolls for Everyone”.

Well, this year, how about something totally different, but actually really good ? The Gypsy Pistoleros are a swashbuckling band of renegades producing flamenco rock rumba punk 'n' roll, and they are releasing a cover of Rocky Martins’ Livin’ La Vida Loca on 17 December and are currently the bookies #8 pick for the Christmas Number One spot !

The campaign was launched on 2nd November 2021, on Día de los Muertos and the single is officially released on 17 December 2021. Backed by Jon Morter, who is best known for his gatecrashing of the music industry in 2009 with his phenomenal Rage Against The X Factor campaign, sweeping Rap/Metal band Rage Against The Machine into the sought after UK Christmas No.1 spot with their iconic track Killing in the Name.

We’ve got genres like Horror Punk, and Psychobilly, and although related, the Gypsy Pistoleros sound is truly unique, and actually very catchy, taking flamenco & rumba and driving it headlong into a collision with punk/rock riffs, pounding bass and thrashing drums.

If you’d like to try and help keep sausage rolls off the top spot for a fourth year running, and you can’t stand manufactured music industry music, then this is the campaign for you !
