This Trio consists of:
Randy (drummer backup vocals)
Antonio (bass player/ backup vocals)
Jorge (guitar player/ and lead singer)
Here’s their story in their own words:
“We started as buddy’s jamming out, and we formed as The Hideaway and played our first show in January 2019, all the songs are based on true events, so life is our inspiration. Every time we’re on stage, we are there to just have fun. It’s our outlet from our regular life.”
On their new song Carolina: “Carolina was actually written with my brother David Hernandez, he had two verses written and I wrote the instrumental part. He was inspired by this girl he was dating long distance at the time. The song was completed in 3 days and the rest is history.”
What I love about their new song “Carolina” and The Hideaway is how perfectly they capture that California Surfing / Dick Dale / Rockabilly Vibe. That song grabs you in with it’s wicked guitar riffs and unrelenting drums and never lets up! Taking you on a wonderful journey of love, angst, and wild summer nights. Definitely a must listen!

On their inspiration:
“Our music inspiration is all over the place. Randy is prominently a punk drummer influenced by 80s SoCal punk bands, Antonio is more of a psychobilly bass player inspired by Batmobile and Lee Rocker, Jorge is more blues and rockabilly player inspired by Ritchie Valens and John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
What I love about The Hideaway is they are a wonderful hybrid of Rockabilly / Surf / and Blues with the spirit and angst of Punk. I love that they are introducing this style to a whole new generation in their high paced live shows as well. Tomorrow on June 9th (2023) they have a show at @The_dive_lv with bands
@noquenolv and @diablossuicidas (from Chile) and a raffle which will help benefit their friend’s back surgery. Please go rock out and support a great cause!
Between their songwriting, throwback sound and overall passion they have for their love of music, I feel they could go very far. I’m so excited to see where the future will take them, they are definitely ones to look out for! This is why they are my Vegas Music Scene Artist of the week.
