Mr. Loco, also known as Mister Loco or Mr. Loco Band
Several of their songs such as RELIGIOUS MAN and BUBBLEGUM
were used in the soundtrack of the movie NACHO LIBRE.

In 2006, the band got a new revival, thanks to movie-director Jared Hess, who is a good friend of Beck. Beck helped out Jared with the soundtrack to his movie Nacho Libre, starring Jack Black.
And as he owned their album, (even knew the members of the band), he saw it perfectly fit to use their music with the film. He used 'Religous Man (I am I am)' as the title song in it, and also 'Bubble Gum' and 'Papas' to fit in the rest of the film.

Formed in 1975. Mister Loco was an offshoot band established by previous members; Javier (Xavier) Garza Alarcón, Jorge García Castil & Rafael Acosta from the Mexican rock band 'Los Locos Del Ritmo'.
Although the group Mister Loco was formed in 1973, individually the six members had been studying Latin American folk and modern music for fifteen years. Mister Loco was formed with a somewhat adventurous
and original idea -to mix the different element of music in Latin America, to combine traditional Latin rhythms and instruments with popular music as it is now expressed internationally. And their efforts have borne exciting fruit -they have two gold records, have won seven awards for best rock group of the year and have released twelve rock LPs and four folk music LPs.
Their many concerts tours and TV performances are helping to establish them as one of Latin America's leading music influences.
