    Fictional bands go a long way. I’m okay with this film, not my fave by Cameron Crowe, but still a good one, and hey, can’t go wrong with a band with the awesome Mark Kozelek.

  • Shaking off the rust

    Lumiere @ Traffic Bar, Naucalpan, México. After a less than stellar night in a house party (more of a case of “wrong band for the wrong audience”), Lumiere played at the garage-like Traffic Bar in Los Remedios, deep in the wild (!) heart of Naucalpan. Kicking off with ‘Vertex’ (one of their heaviest numbers), the…

    Gotta be honest, we had better months, but asi es la vida de jacarandosa. Go for a beer and relax at the house of your best friend. It worked for Eddie Vedder.

    Tanya Donelly (she of Throwing Muses and Breeders) was supercool in the hey day of the 90s. Educate yerselves. Big Love Quinto

  • Hazy flashbacks…

    The Keys -Fire inside The skinny: From Wales with love. And lysergic acid. The review proper: Getting it out of the way, I gotta say that the first two songs really didn’t do the trick for me, I’m afraid. Nothing against the music, but it feels too much of a throwback to old things. Not…
