| January 20th | SPECIAL 2010 ANNOUNCEMENT

Since it's the start of a wonderful new year we have some NEWS and RESOLUTIONS to share:

You'll be seeing a new face on bass guitar in 2010!
Our friend, Casey, has decided to take over bass guitar duties as our current (and wonderful) bassist, Jason, has decided to move on with his schooling and to focus on some other things in his life... We're sad to see JP go but we're also glad to have had him in the band for the last couple of years. His stage presence and energy were undeniable and will be missed... you may see his face show up at a gig (and maybe on stage too) here and there!

Casey's first show with the band will be at The River's Edge in Lansing, IA in just a few short weeks. I hope you all show up and wish him well. Casey has some stage presence of his own and we think he'll fit in just fine! We've got a shit ton of work to do in the next few weeks but we're confident that you'll all enjoy the ride as much as we are... Hell, you might even see/hear a pile of new tunes coming to fruition...

Our resolution for 2010 is to keep evolving as a band and to keep things fun for us and for all of you!! That means you'll be seeing/hearing some new tunes flying off the stage!! You'll also be seeing some new Caminos gear coming at you soon as well!! Some shirts, some hats and maybe some other stuff too?

Love to all and a Very Happy New Year!!

The El Caminos

| December 27th | We hope you all had a great Christmas, and are looking forward to New Years!

Christmas is here and gone, now we move onto ringing in the New Year, and we start all over the next day. This New Years show will be a special one for us. We're looking forward to the show, but it'll be a tough one. We'll be taking the stage a little earlier to play more music for everybody. We've made so many great friends over the last few years, and we hope that you can all be there this Thursday to celebrate the end of 2009, and the birth of 2010.

| December 5th | Turkey is gone, now time for Xmas and New Years.

So we had a great show with TJ and the Rusted Nail for our 3rd Annual Turkey Shebang. What a nice addition to an already nice bar. Thanks for having us break in the upstairs for you. We had a great time, and we're looking forward to getting back there sometime this Spring. Bad weather didn't keep everybody in, so that was great. Upstairs and downstairs full of people looking for a good time, and it was had by all!

Next show up is going to be New Years Eve at the newly renovated Goodfella's Party Bar in Waukon. We're looking forward to putting on one hell of a show for everybody, so much that we're starting earlier and playing later! Yes, that is correct. 8:30-1:30 is what we said we'll do. So get there early, and be prepared for a full night of the Caminos. We're looking forward to seeing you there ringing in the New Year!! Let's welcome 2010 together!

| November 5th | New Show Added : Nov. 21st @ Howies Live in La Crosse, WI!

The Caminos just confirmed a new date for November. Since we're only out once in December, he packed one more in for November! We'll be performing live at Howies Live on La Crosse Street here in La Crosse, Wisconsin on November 21st. Make sure you mark your calendars. Consider us an appetizer for Thanksgiving!

| November 2nd | Thank you Spring Grove & Decorah

So we just got done playing this weekend at the Elks Lodge in Decorah, Iowa. It was their Halloween Bash, and man was it ever a BASH. I'm not sure what the final count was on attendance, but I'd say there were more then enough people there to help run the bar out of majority of their alcohol. Which is funny considering there are two full bars in there. Also shocked with all the great costumes. We had to be the judges of the costume contest, and boy was it tough. Thank god it wasn't our decision, but it was based on the crowd response. We had the whole cast of The Wizard of Oz there, Dog the Bounty Hunter, The Blues Brothers, Dick in a Box, and way to many more to name. All of them were great! We're looking forward to coming back to the lodge this Winter or Spring. Thanks again for having us! Also good news from the night... We got hired to be the main act at Nordic Fest this Summer, so mark your calendars and get ready to party with all the crazy Norwegians! I know we're excited.

A couple weeks ago we ventured to Spring Grove, Minnesota to help raise some money for the local volunteer fire department. If any of you know me, I'm very excited about shows likes this considering 3 of my brothers, as well as my father are all firemen. It was a major success as well, which was even better. We just found out that final count for attendance was 500 strong. So when you figure $10 admission x 500+... well, that's a great thing for the SGFD! Pete, our go to guy, was awesome, and we'd like to thank you for everything. Especially the beer tickets! Looking forward to possibly playing for you guys all again next year. Thank you to everybody that came out as well, it was another one for the books. What a night!

See you all hopefully in Clermont, Iowa in a couple weeks. We'll be at the Brick City Bar & Grill! See you then.
