SXSW 2007

SXSW festival is back. We’ve been going to the SXSW concerts for the past few years. Molotov, Plastilina Mosh, Andrea Echeverri, Control Machete, Jumbo, are just a few of the many bands that I’ve got to see.

This year I went to see the wednesday show at Opal Divines with a good performance by La Gusana [...]

The Shins at Bee Cave!

The Shins concert at the Backyard was amazing. I only started listening to them a few weeks ago when I was invited to the concert but I must say that I’ve become a fan. You have to see their videos at their website, specially the Interview 2003 one, its really funny.
What really made the night [...]

Requiem

Last night I went with Lucia to see an amazing show called Requiem perfomed on an abandoned building that Intel was building a few years ago, but never finished it.
The show is very beautiful and dramatic and it has great music and lights. I highly recommend seeing it. I think tonight is your last [...]

Lets get Kinky!

Last night Kinky performed at Emo’s (on 6th St). They have a really good show and their electro-lounge-funk style makes you wanna dance all night.
The best part is that before the concert the organizers announced that Jumbo was going to be playing on Nov 2nd and they told the crawd that whoever knew the name [...]

Confesiones de un ex-fan de Maná¡

Hoy voy a confesar algo que me causa verguenza contar, pero que igual lo comparto con mis lectores para que vean que el errar es humano:
Confieso que a la edad de los 13 o 14 años fui con mi hermanita y sus amigas a un concierto de Maná. Fué mi primer gran concierto y en [...]

Summer Vacations ‘06

This past weekend I went to Monterrey, Mexico with Marcos and Eva. We stayed for 4 days and we did lots of cultural activities including seeing a live concert of Gustavo Cerati, a performance by the argentinian group De La Guarda, visiting the Marco museum which had an exhibit of Ricardo Legorreta and the Museum [...]

Ministry: from dance to industrial metal

A co-worker and friend of mine who is in his 40’s (and I’m guessing here) and who likes music from the 70’s and 80’s told me today that he likes Ministry. I was shocked since I know Ministry is a very hard core/industrial/metal band and there was no way for this guy to like it. [...]

Fantástica Mujer

Actualización – Febrero 10, 2007
Nunca pensé que Fantástica Mujer fuera a causar el fenómeno que ha causado. Haber recibido tantos comentarios, la letra de la canción, la canción misma y que el propio Zimm Morris se haya puesto en contacto es algo que jamás estaba en mis planes. Ciertamente me hace muy feliz.

Juanes at the Austin City Limits

When I went to the ACL live taping of Cafe Tacvba, I thought: “This is amazing and it is probably not going to happen again anymore”… well I just got back from seeing the ACL live tapping of Juanes. He is performing live tonight at the Bass Concert Hall and I didn’t got tickets to [...]

Playing along with NIN!

This weekend I borrowed my friend’s (Gustavo) mixer and mic and setup a mini recording studio in my bedroom where I keep my drumset. Then I recorded myself playing drums in the Nine Inch Nails song ‘The hand that feeds’, using the GarageBand file I downloaded a few months ago.
I only spent a few hours [...]
