This past weekend I attended the Austin City Limits Music Festival. As a revenge act for not going last year I got me a nice 3 day pass; and most of my local friends decided to go as well. It was both a lot of fun and extremely tiring. These festivals aren’t easy on an [...]

Through the magic that is MySpace (or better said: the only thing it’s good for) I found out that Plastilina Mosh was coming to town for a spur-of-the-moment-half-improvised concert/CD release party
I keep an ever shrinking list of musicians I’d like to see perform live at some point. Last month I was able to check an important one off: Shlomo Artzi. I’ve been wanting to see him in concert ever since the kibbutz days. Back then I would listen to Yareah over and over and over [...]

The list seems huge to me, and there are more international (especially Mexican) bands than I can recall ever being.
Here are the bands from Latin American countries. Some I’ve seen, some I’d like to see, [...]

Some observations on last Tuesday’s concert:
The Backyard is cool, but it’s FAR. They can’t expect people fro Austin to drive through rush hour to get there.
And their parking sucks. Almost an hour to park and almost an hour to leave is unforgivable. What are they thinking? Thankfully we had a soccer ball and plenty [...]
“Tarda en llegar. Y al final, al final hay recompensa”
Last Friday, I went to what was the best concert I’ve ever been to.
Thirty two thousand music lovers met at the Estadio Universitario to see legendary (and by far personal favorite) Argentine Rock en Español band Soda Stereo after a 10 year absence as [...]
