BACK STORY: SUNNY SIDE UP

● Private Space was preceded this spring by a new version of the group’s early B-side Cruisin’ To The Park, re-recorded with Mexican-American group Y La Bamba to salute the Indications’ early adopters in the Chicano low-rider community. “When we started touring back in 2017, on the West Coast the Chicano folks would come out in droves to see us, pulling up out front of the venues in their low-rider cars,” says Jones. “The first time I realised how much soul meant to the Chicano community, we were playing this tune called Should I Take You Home by [’60s Chicano soul singer] Sunny Ozuna and the Sunliners [pictured], and the whole crowd started singing along. They respected and embraced us for doing that song and giving props to Sunny Ozuna. When the kind of soul music we play had gone underground, the Chicano community kept it together, they were our first supporters. For that I will always feel thankful and blessed.”
