Gringo

There are more than 1 artists with the name Gringo:

1 - Gringo Is a progressive rock band.
They were originally formed in 1968 as 'The Toast'. In the spring of 1970 Toast abandoned the old, tired routine and changed their name to Gringo eager to explore the "new freedoms" offered by the burgeoning progressive movement. In March the following year Gringo signed a deal with MCA to record an album and single. In 1972 the bass player left the band, and even though there were the plans for it, sadly there was to be no follow-up album to their promising debut from the previous year.

2 - Gringo is Chicago three piece band.
Gringo live in a rundown shack near the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago, Illinois, strewn with the fetishes and cynical attitudes of late 20th century Americana. They roast the dark sides of folk, country and blues into an eerire and potent blend, reminiscent of early X and Gun Club.

The songs on their two albums, Gringo and Combine, range from revenge-filled waltzes and depraved ballads to feedback-laden rock destruction.
