Fac51 and Hacienda

Keeping it a family affair, the Texan indie rock trio Hacienda comprising of brothers Rene, Abraham and Jaime Villanueva got together in 2007 with their attempt to revive good old fashioned rock n’ roll. With old school harmonies reminiscent to that of the Beach Boys and The Beatles, the trio embarked on their journey. Self-recording their early demos, Hacienda’s big break came about when their six track demo landed in the hands of Black Key’s lead singer Dan Auerbach. So impressed with these demos, Auerbach played it to the rest of the band and soon Hacienda were given the opportunity to support Black Keys on a nationwide tour. From that moment on, the band have been riding the wave of success going on to support Kasabian and City & Colour extending internationally whilst releasing three full length albums, all met with critical acclaim. Their apparent natural chemistry which feeds into their live performances alongside their incredibly tight musicianship emits an enchanting radiance woven through poppier elements. Hacienda’s groovy sound has the crowd bopping from side to side, mesmerised by their powerfully catchy hooks. Performing tracks such as ‘Natural Life’ and ‘Honaloochie Boogie’ Hacienda continue their mission to revive rock n’ roll, playing with passion, guts and an abundance of musical ingenuity.
