The three members of the band went through that period of honest and sincere music at first hand and contribute this experience to their interpretaions. Their music ranges from blues to popular rock classics. The arrangements range from 'close to the original' through improvised solos up to mixtures with alien themes of classical music or light music. At their gigs the Hombres present handmade music for the stomach in a very passionate way and they are permanantly aiming at verbal and - thanks to wireless technology - spatial nearness to their audience. <br><br> <b><font color="#FF0000">Contact : Phone (+49)(0)241/524029</font></b> </td> <td><img SRC="homblogo.gif" width=200></td> </tr> </table> <br> <table CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 > <tr> <td><img SRC="imagtut.jpg" width=490> </td> <td><font color="#0000FF">The name "</font><b><font color="#FF0000">Tres Hombres</font></b><font color="#0000FF">" is adapted from an album of the Texan blues band </font> <b><font color="#FF0000">ZZTop.</font></b> </td></tr> </table> <b> <font color="#0000FF">persons: </font> <font color="#FF0000"> <a href="index7.htm#hartmut">> Hartmut <</a> <a href="index7.htm#heinzb">> Heinz B. <</a> <a href="index7.htm#heinz">>Heinz <</a> </font> <font color="#0000FF">(l.to.r.)</font> <br> <br> <br></b> <b><a name="music"></a><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">The Music :</font></B> <BR /><BR /> <font color="#0000FF">The repertoire ranges from blues at one side with songs of <B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">John Mayall, Gary Moore and Peter Green </FONT></B> over <B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">ZZTop's</FONT></B> boogie and the R&B of the early <B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Stones</FONT></B> up to genuine rock songs originated from <B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Chuck Berry, Santana, or Queen</FONT></B>.
