A birds-eye view of the potent punk scene in Quito, Ecuador with our buddies Los Suziox playing one of their songs off their EL FIN JUSTIFICA LOS MEDIOS (The End Justifies the Means) out now on Punk Outlaw Records.
One of my favorite songs, “Perfeccion” from one of my favorite bands, Los Suziox. Check out their recent performance on what I assume was live Colombian TV below. If you dig the song it’s available for 99 cents at iTunes HERE. Enjoy!
I don’t like plugging random punk shows and events too often because there are so many and our readers are from so many different locations it isn’t useful to everyone. But considering such a large % of our readers are from Colombia and Latin America I thought it might interest people to know about […]
The long awaited article on Colombian punk is out at Remezcla. You can check it HERE. Yes, it’s little long but highly entertaining if I say so myself (self depreciating laugh inserted here). What’s that you say? You are more of a visual person? Yes, I know, all those words can be headache inducing. So […]
I’m back in the U.S. of A. now, memories of Colombia still fresh on my mind. I was all over the place, Popayan, Cali, Medellin and Bogota, in just 11 days. As posted here earlier, we were able to cobble together a video shoot of the Medellin’s rockabilly band “Dorados Rockabilly Trio” for their song […]
Not too many weeks ago, we wrote on this very blog, how Rock Al Parque, Bogota Colombia’s big music festival and one of the biggest music festivals in all of South America, was holding a competition among a group of local Colombian bands to see which would garner the most votes and hence be […]
Punk music, my friends, has become global and we should enjoy it, open our minds, hearts and our ears to music in other languages. Whether you speak or understand Spanish or not, I hope you dig this video from Lokekeda. Please stay tuned for news on their upcoming CD “Medellin es Punk” coming soon to Punk Outlaw Records.
Before we head to Uruguay and Argentina to reconnect with our punks friends, we have an update for you from Medellin, Colombia, our current home base. This past Saturday was picture perfect day for punks and my new hood, Barrio Laureles was the spot. There was a battle of the bands just down the street […]
It’s been a 2 month delay (what can I say I’ve been traveling a lot!) but we finally got the pics up from the big “Rock en Medellin” concert last November in, you guessed it, Medellin, Colombia. If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know I’m very high on the punk scene […]
MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA – FINAL DAY After 15 days in Colombia working on various projects, it seemed completely appropriate that I spend my last full day, a Saturday, at an all day punk show. Two other independent, Gringo travel journalists I had met at the beginning of my trip, David and Troy, tagged along with me. […]
MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA I promised video from the Alta Voz festival in Medellin, Colombia and I almost always keep my promises, so here ya go! If you aren’t familior with Los Suziox (The Dirty) here is the scoop on these guys. As you can see by the video, Los Suziox (LSZX for short) is a hometown […]
MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA Sleep deprivation! I hate sleep deprivation. However, sometimes, it just can’t be avoided. I’m in Medellin, Colombia for a variety of reasons and the beginning of my trip happened to coincide with the end of the big “Feria de las Flores” festival, Medellin’s biggest festival of the year so the place is crawling […]
I didn’t get to go with the guys to Ibague during this trip because I had to return back to NYC the following day and my flight was leaving out of Medellin, Colombia. According to this video, looks like I missed a good time. Check out Los Suziox performing live (as opposed to dead.. I […]
July 10th, 2010 – Castilla, Sin Armas (Disarm) / Medellin, Colombia This was my first time being on stage with Los Suziox as they played live and what a trip it was. The view from the stage of the crazed fans, the circle pit and the rain pouring down the whole time was pretty intense. […]
July 10th, 2010 Castilla Neighborhood in Medellin, Colombia It has rained every day of my trip to Medellin so far and I’m ready to dry the hell out. I was hopeful to do so on Saturday, July 10th because the sun shined almost the entire day. I was scheduled to take the short taxi ride […]
