🎸🇲🇽🇺🇸 The Brothers Who Proved the Music Industry Wrong

Before they formed the legendary band Redbone, two California brothers were known simply as Pat Vegas and Lolly Vegas.

Raised with Yaqui, Shoshone, and Mexican heritage, they were proud of their roots. But during the 1960s, many music industry executives believed mainstream rock audiences weren’t ready for Native American artists. Some record labels even suggested the brothers hide their identity.

They refused.

Instead, the Vegas brothers embraced who they were and created Redbone — a band that proudly celebrated their Indigenous and Mestizo heritage through their music.

🔥 And they proved the industry wrong.

In 1974, Redbone released their iconic hit Come and Get Your Love, which climbed into the Top 5 on the Billboard charts. Decades later, the song reached a whole new generation after being featured in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy.

But Redbone’s story was about more than just hit records.

They became one of the first Native American rock bands to achieve worldwide success, often using their music to speak about Indigenous identity, culture, and history. Their powerful protest song We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee became an international hit and helped bring global attention to Native American struggles.

🎶 From small surf bands in California to stages around the world, the Vegas brothers showed something unforgettable:

You don’t have to hide your heritage to succeed.
Sometimes embracing it is exactly what makes history.

Did you know the band behind “Come and Get Your Love” was founded by musicians of Native American and Mexican heritage?
