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 […]
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”.

When lead singer and original member Matyas arrived along with his bandmates Pablo and Kamo, we decided to conduct […]
