So after my last post I resolved to find some music that shows that all hope is not lost, and after some searching I found some good ones.
Los Fancy Free:
Probably the most likely to break this side of the border, having recorded their album with Dave Newfield who has worked with the likes of Broken Social Scene and Holy Fuck. Appearing at SXSW this year.
Jessie Bulbo (Warning: Profile may induce seizures):
My favorite combination ever, Girls and Garage rock. She brings me memories of better times when bands like The Stooges and Television where in their prime.
I found those two while reading and article in Fader. I love this magazine because it focuses on scenes highlighting the culture and environment that fuels the music we listen to. After reading that article and seeing what Mexico City had to offer; I decided to look around and see what was brewing back home and I found...
Circo Vulkano:
There were better clips on the internet but look at that crowd! Nothing warms my heart more than to know that back home there are bands like this fueling a scene that vibrant.
All this goes to show that there is always something going on in your neck of the woods, and before you open your big mouth like I did do some snooping around. There will probably be something worthwhile where you live.
