Bomba De Luz only just put out their debut record What A Heavy Weight, but the high-school band are already darlings in the local music community. With a CD release show that featured too many opening acts to count such as Brian Laidlaw, Twinkie Jiggles Broken Orchestra, Ill Chemistry and Guante, the young group is quickly finding their sound and finessing their craft.

For a special "back-to-school" edition of The Local Show, Bomba De Luz performed a tune from their first EP, one from the new album and an unreleased track that showcases a new direction. They're surely an act to watch, especially as the quartet nears graduation.

Songs performed: "Like You Should, "Boots and Cats" and "Howl At That Moon"
