Despite first impressions, Pacifico is not a band. At its most tangible, Pacifico exists in the world as an audible collage; a musical patchwork slowly pieced together by a revolving door of both established and roaming musicians, each adding a unique, artistic inch to the project at hand. But if you didn't know any of that, you might label it as the surprisingly well-rounded solo project of one musician: a guy named Matthew Schwartz.

The Lafayette Rhythm Devils like playing in dance halls. They are, in fact, proud of their dance hall sound. They play Cajun music the way it sounded at the beginning of the twentieth century: fast, spontaneous and personal. This isn't music to sit in your chair and listen to. This is music that plays as you press your cheek against someone while passing across a dance floor. This is music made by a band that works hard on stage to make music for people who work hard during the week.
