Short of a VH-1 Special - Victor Villarreal lives the life of a rock star. Or so we are lead to believe. Victor has been seen as some sort of an enigma since he first started playing in a band called Cap'n Jazz. A protege that was able to pick up a guitar and create melodic structure was far beyond his own time. Many dreamed of what he could achieve and many continue to be inspired by his talents. There is a fine line between genius and insanity, and Victor's musical career bridged upon this. Victor's life has always been one of a mystery that his fans have desperately been seeking to know about. Its not only his whereabouts, but also any evidence that a reappearance will emerge with another glimpse into his musical genius. Victor has recently resurfaced! Becoming active again with Ghosts and Vodka and debuting a solo album "Alive," 2009 has marked the year in which Victor finally makes his return. How long will it be before he disappears again? Hopefully never...

Chicago, IL (2003 - present)

Meryll formed in Austin, Texas in 2003 as a 4-piece rock band, but has evolved into the solo vehicle for recording engineer/touring sound-man Andrew Hernandez. 2009 saw the release of "Rimziate," his poppiest album to date, produced by Jason Martin of Starflyer 59. This was followed by a European tour supporting Balmorhea, and a subsequent move to Chicago to work as a house engineer at Soma Studios. 2010 brought the "Natchitoches" EP, a hushed nylon-string affair, followed by "The Party On The North Face," another EP, this time with Tim Kinsella manning the board. Hernandez has now completed the 6th Meryll record entitled "Haunts, Volume 1: The Palace" which will be released digitally in 2012. A 3-week U.S. tour supporting Victor Villarreal will follow.
