A local El Paso rock band, The Roulettes, comprised of Juan Flores, Junior Sabbath, Frankie Orona, and Sergio, is excited to reveal their latest project – a music video for the acoustic version of their song “Take a Little More.” Collaborating with recent Grammy winners Roger Argenis and Gabriel Esparza, the band is venturing into new territory and exploring a different sound than their usual hard/alternative rock style.
The band members expressed their enthusiasm for working with Argenis and Esparza, referring to the experience as “amazing” and feeling like they are taking their music to the next level.

When asked about the inspiration behind their music, the band emphasized the importance of connecting with listeners through catchy melodies, captivating rhythms, and meaningful lyrics. Juan mentioned that they intentionally keep their songwriting open to interpretation, allowing people to make the music their own and find personal meaning in the lyrics.
Originating as a cover band, The Roulettes transitioned into writing original music about three years ago, starting with their debut single “Scavenger” and eventually expanding their repertoire. The band members described their evolution as a group, emphasizing the creative freedom each member has to contribute to their unique sound.
Reflecting on the music scene in El Paso, The Roulettes acknowledged the abundance of talent in the local rock community and the competitive nature of the industry. Despite the challenges, they noted the growth in the quality of their sound over the past decade and the gratification of being recognized within their community.
As they continue to progress and evolve, The Roulettes draw inspiration from their personal experiences and emotional connections with their audience, infusing these sentiments into their songwriting process. The band looks forward to engaging with fans at live performances, such as the upcoming Cool Canyon Nights Music Series, where they will showcase their latest music.
Encouraging listeners to engage with their music by downloading and streaming “Take a Little More,” The Roulettes invite fans to follow them on social media platforms to stay updated on their latest projects and performances. With a genuine passion for music and a dedication to their craft, The Roulettes are poised to captivate audiences and make their mark in the alternative rock scene.
