On February 3, 2007 a new fusion of Tejano, Conjunto, and Cumbia Music
emerged as the now well known band “Da Krazy Pimpz” was born.
Founders Eddie Jimenez and Eloy Cortines began the project by combining
their ideas, talents, and voices to form something newer, crazier, but yet
giving their fans great danceable music to enjoy. The opportunity
came to be when Tejano Superstar Singer “Gary Hobbs” from the same
town of Eagle Pass, TX. signed Eddie and Eloy to his own independent
record label “AMMX Records” to a 4 year contract. Gary along with his
son Gary Lee Hobbs have both guided and produced “Da Krazy Pimpz”
with their knowledge and years of experience in “la onda tejana”. Their
first album “El Pachuco Nuevo” presented the audience with their colorful
Pimp Suits which was never before seen in the Tejano Industry. The single
“Cumbia De Los Pimpz” which was written by Eddie himself went on to
open the doors for “Da Krazy Pimpz” to Mexico and several Tejano driven
States in the U.S. The song picked up airplay from Tejano and
Regional/Mexican radio stations everywhere and top stations like KXTN
Tejano 107.5 in San Antonio, TX. And Que Pasa 99.5 in McAllen, TX. To Top
off a great year in 2008, “Da Krazy Pimpz” were then invited to perform the
hit song “Cumbia De Los Pimpz”at the 2008 Tejano Music Awards by
President Frank Salazar,sporting their Zebra Pimp Suits the band performed
along with their friends from Eagle Pass, “The Latin Dancers” for a
performance to remember. The guys then received a call from a long time
friend and promoter in Monterrey N.L. MX. Mr. Lino Noe Yañez from “Tejano
Music Productions” and took them on his wing on several tours to San Luis
Potosi, and Monterrey, pushing their music deep into the heart of his
Mexican Country with songs like “Demasiado Romantica”, and “Por Tu Amor”
Featuring Gary Hobbs from their second album entitled “Pimpin It!!”
Throughout 2008 and 2009 the band toured the states of Texas, Florida,
California, Arizona, Washington, Idaho, Kansas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Ohio, and Michigan, receiving numerous nominations to well known Award
Shows such as the “Tejano Music Awards” and “Premios A La Musica
Latina”. Their new album entitled “Los Reyes Del Conjunto” which is the 4th
under AMMX Records, is set to be released in the fall of 2010 with the band
more matured and experienced, this album is set to be one of their best
albums released yet. This album contains 2 crossover (villera cumbias)
entitled “Pamela”, and “Una Copa Mas” which will definatly have a different
twist to their original style. Along with the great conjunto songs, this album will
be one to remember. Da Krazy Pimpz have cemented their “controversial”
name as one of the top conjunto bands in the industry today in 2010. They
have gained the hearts of many fans throughout the world with the power
