Belanova

Who:Belanova
What: Mexican pop band that form in 2000
When: Houston @ House of Blues. Dec. 2, 2010.
Why: Sometimes we like to pop. I'm not scared of dancing!
Another shout out to Spanish MTV for this one!
It was a couple years back that I stumble upon their video "Por ti".
Who doesn't like a funky beat, lights, and a cute girl music video?
"Por ti" had the record for most weeks on MTV Mexico's Top 20, peaking at number-one for twenty-nine weeks. WOW!
Any how, she's pretty fashion and the music is fun so, add them to your I-pod.

OH LA LA...


Oh la la…
Who’s at it again?
Wait wait she never stopped!
Does this girl ever sleep?
From the place popular for its art, croissants, and health care in comes FAFI!
At a hot 35 she’s known for her graffiti and urban art which started in the streets of France in 1994.
Her aerosol and paintbrushes give life to Fafinettes, who bring fun, sexy, and playful where ever they are placed.
Pink, hearts, undies, bright colors, and other cool friends are part of Fafi’s world, Fafinettes are not all play they are also aggressive and bold.
Fafi’s passport has been stamped by places such as Japan, China, Europe, U.S., Cuba and Mexico to name a few.



(Mexico City)
Sony was one of the first to go nuts on her work and therefore six vinyl fafinettes where created for the Time Capsules collection.
Some of her other collaborations include:
Coca-Cola
LeSportsSac



M.A.C. cosmetics




Adidas


(first round for Adidas)



(Adidas 2010)

Fashion such as M.O.B.
and countless magazines.



(Book and vinyl faffinettes for M.A.C.)
Lily Allen was made into a fafinette in the video, Oh my God.

Rodrigo y Gabriela

This was my second time listening to them. I actually have to thank MTV for this one, they came out on a brief commercial after a reality show.
Who says, they don't play music no more?!?!?!
I was surprise at the amount of people at House of Blues and also by all the nationalities. Some spoke Spanish and the others just wanted to listen to a good Metallica cover.
Check them out:

Panteon Rococo

Last week House of Blues had the crowd dancing thanks to the killer beats of Pateon Rococo and two other great ska bands from Houston.
At exactly 8:30, with the crowd still gathering, Fuska started to jam and the folks started dancing. They are a young band full of energy with a lead singer who can’t stand still, he just wants to get it going.





The room got heated as soon as Laskaretas stepped in, with the rhytme of the drums going hard one was bound to start sweating.
Two great bands to represent that Houston sure knows how to get its music on.









With 400 people screaming for Panteon Rococo, this was bound to be a good show.
Panteon Rococo is a ska band from Mexico City that was born around 1995.
The infuse styles of punk, reggae, salsa, and cumbia are pack into an energetic sound that comes with a positive political message.
This was there 2010 Ejercito de la Paz tour, The Peace Army tour, which voices, “Stop the racism and love the music." Most of their songs deal with government abuse, the improvement of society, and in this concert the main focus was the racism that’s going on in Arizona. The audience agreed with the message as they took part of the mosh pit, guys and girls didn’t care who they where slamming to of course they would pick up anybody who fell to the ground. One was able to spot Santos, el Zapatista, and the ring of smoke inside the mosh pit as the drums and the sax made the none dancers enjoy the show.

Love

Amar, coger, y sexo son cosas muy diferentes.
Yo me enamoro de muchos, tengo sexo con pocos, y hecho el amor con dos.
Coger es no saver ni querer saver su nombre.
Eso solamente una vez.
Pero, no soy puta.

Coachella 2010


First of all I’m two shades more Mexican, my skin feels like leather and not your Louis Vuitton leather but more like that fake over priced urban outfitters. I spent 6 days away from my beautiful city on a quest to find new music to love, fresh conversations, and amazing sight seeing. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!


It took us 25 hours and 7 gas stations to reach our Indio, California destination, 12 hours were spent trying to leave Texas. WOW, we have one hell of a big state; this would be my first time traveling in the U.S. I was excited and didn’t cared driving for so long, we had an iced chest full of water, beer, vodka, and turkey what else could we asked for?

We were able to kiss the sun rise of New Mexico and let me just say it was beautiful!



We had two border patrol stops and were able to sneak my apples to California. The lady was too lazy to look in our car and my ass had just bought the apples, OH no ma'am you are not throwing my fruit away.

Made it to Coachella, sunburn, hungry, sleepy, and half my ass numb!

We built our tent and I slept like a baby!

Here are some of the bands and art work I checked out:

Babasonicos

Florence and the Machine






MuteMath
I f-ing love them!!

Muse
Aterciopelados
Gossip!! She's not so big, she's as chubby as me. lol.

Tokyo Police
Them Croocked Vultures
Jay-Z
LCD Soundsystem


Passion Pit

Calle 13!!!

Dress code= none! The less the better and if you own American apparel clothes you are definitely in!

Can wait to do it again next year! Who’s game?

Monday we made a little detour to the Grand Canyon, pictures can’t describe how amazing it was!
