Just in time for tonight’s kickoff of its residency at the Satellite, Red Cortez has released the first of four free EPs the L.A. quartet will issue this month. Some of those songs figure to be a taste of the hard-charging rock’n’ soul planned for Red Cortez’s long-awaited debut album “Virgin Ideas.” The foursome of Harley Prechtel-Cortez, Ryan Kirkpatrick, Calvin J. Love and Diego Guerrero has been stoking the flames of anticipation since they started (as the Weather Underground) three-plus years ago. These freebies are a mix of demos, alternative versions and finished tracks; physical copies will be available at the shows.
