Los Abandoned was an American alternative rock band from the Los Angeles, California area known for combining Spanish and English lyrics, often using a style described as Spanglish. They gained attention for songs such as “Panic-oh!,” “Van Nuys (es Very Nice),” and “Stalk U.” They released two EPs and an album and signed with Neil Young’s Vapor Records in 2005. The band performed at major events including South by Southwest and the Latin Alternative Music Conference and shared stages with artists such as Zoé, Café Tacuba, The Breeders, Calexico, Julieta Venegas, Molotov, and Aterciopelados. The group also performed at the Bridge School Benefit, opening for artists including Paul McCartney, Neil Young, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
