One of the best things about visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina last month after a year’s absence was the opportunity to revisit old friends I had made from the year before. Some of these were my amigos from “Drop Dead Dreams” who I had interviewed in front of the famous Casa Rosada (Pink House) in the […]
So we’ve been in Argentina/Uruguay almost 3 weeks and it’s been a little hectic to say the least. I’ve hardly had time to sleep, much less update you guys on things, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been rocking. As posted (see previous post), we enjoyed a great show with our amigos Rudos Wild in […]
You may recall that about a year ago I was visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina winding up a 3 country trip (Chile, Argentina, Uruguay) when an unscrupulous and fake taxi driver took advantage when I let down my guard.

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA: 2/21/10 My final night in Buenos Aires could not have ended better than a concert with legendary punks “Dos Minutos”, complete with a backstage interview with lead singer “El Mosco”.

As I posted a couple days ago, I caught up with Batra and his band Sepulcro at the legendary Salon Pueyrredon in Buenos Aires, Argentina the other day and they graciously let me sit in on a rehearsal. Here’s a couple songs from that day, sorry for the bad lighting. Enjoy!
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA 2/16/10 So the day began with a big breakfast for a change and a drop of clothes at the laundry because quite frankly, I’m afraid I might be starting to smell and how many times can I wear that Social Distortion T shirt? I then proceeded to the gym, where it is […]
My friend Jorge from ColombianPunk.com insisted that I interview a band in Buenos Aires called Comando Suicida and I’m glad he did. Their guitarist Martin invited me to their rehearsal last night at Vadar Studios in a neighborhood about a 15 minute taxi ride from my apartment in Recoleta. The problem was none of these […]
It seemed very appropriate that I was to meet the members of Buenos Aires punk band Drop Dead Dreams at the famous Plaza de Mayo, where countless demonstrations had occurred against the government over the years. When lead singer and original member Matyas arrived along with his bandmates Pablo and Kamo, we decided to conduct […]
