Lookie Lookie is the brainchild of bassist Chris Maclachlan, best known for his work in the pioneering Boston new wave band Human Sexual Response.

Maclachlan's love for Latin Bugalu, a crossover genre invented by Newyorican musicians in the 1960s. has united a group of Boston's best musicians into Lookie Lookie. Incredibly fun and catchy, Bugalu lies somewhere between the stately Cuban sounds of the 50s and the manic high salsa of the 70s.

Lookie Lookie is the brainchild of bassist Chris Maclachlan, best known for his work in the pioneering Boston new wave band Human Sexual Response.

Maclachlan's love for Latin Bugalu, a crossover genre invented by Newyorican musicians in the 1960s. has united a group of Boston's best musicians into Lookie Lookie. Incredibly fun and catchy, Bugalu lies somewhere between the stately Cuban sounds of the 50s and the manic high salsa of the 70s. Top artists included Joe Cuba, Pete Rodriguez and Ricardo Ray, along with the obscure George Guzman, a Lookie Lookie favorite.

The group began as a casual weekly jam session between Maclachlan and long time percussion collaborators Ken Winokur and Rick Barry. When Grammy nominated arranger Russ Gershon came by for a beer and smoke – and stayed – he started writing charts for the group and brought in his long-time colleague Vicente Lebron on vocals and congas. Lebron introduced Jorge Arce, one of the grand men of the Boston Latin scene – and a Puertoriqueño who grew up with Bugalú.

Since forming in 2014, Lookie Lookie has become a favorite around New England, playing clubs like the Regattabar, the Lizard Lounge and Johnny D's. True Lookie connoisseurs know that the REAL place to catch the band is at their home, the Accurate Records loft in Somerville, where the crowd is friendly, the dancing wild and free, and the beverages flow like the mighty Mississippi.

Lookie Lookie is an all-star lineup of Boston scene veterans:

Chris Maclachlan (Human Sexual Response, Zulus) acoustic bass, vocals
Ken Winokur (Alloy Orchestra)) percussion
Rick Barry (Bim Skala Bim) percussion
Vicente Lebron (Either/Orchestra, Club D'Elf) percussion, vocals
Jorge Arce (Raiz de Plena, Humano), percussion, vocals
Scott Getchell (Bad Art Ensemble, Lars Vegas, Agachiko) trumpet, vocals;
Russ Gershon (Either/Orchestra, Agachiko) tenor sax, flute, vocals
Ted DeColo (Mighty Sam McLean, Funky White Honkies) alto sax, flute, vocals

Along with playing, just about everybody in the band sings, in Spanish and English.
