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 […]
I’m happy to report we are able to put out their debut CD, Medellin Es Punk which also includes “Espinas Assesinas”. It’s over at Punk Outlaw Records where you can read more about the band, see some photos and videos and most importantly listen to some lengthy samples from the CD, gratis, free of charge. If you dig any of the songs and / or the CD you can buy at i-Tunes, CD Baby or Amazon Music too.
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.

In December of 2009 I visited Havana, Cuba to help a friend who was working on a documentary film. I brought my own camera, which was pro-sumer, meaning it looked like just a regular personal camcorder any tourist might have but it actually shoots professional video and audio. I wanted to grab some interviews for […]
We interrupt our regularly scheduled coverage of the worldwide punk scene for a little shameless self promotion (and free music for you!). When our good friend and event promoter extraordinaire, Amylulita (check her kick ass Nacotheque events if you live in NYC), suggested to the fine folks at Remezcla.com that they do a profile […]
Ask anyone around the world about Medellin and I pretty much guarantee that the first thing that pops to most people’s minds isn’t punk music. Well, it should be! Medellin’s annual music festival “Alta Voz” (Loudly) did not disappoint. This was my 2nd festival, having attended 2010’s which was headlined by my good buddies Los […]
Medellin, CO Last summer I interviewed the ladies of “Insurgentas” (Insurgents) a Medellin, Colombia based all girl punk band. (SEE THE POST HERE) This quartet of lovely ladies seemed like the real deal at the time, but unfortunately they were not playing that particular day. Since then I’ve tried to catch them play but something […]
Punks are always helping out. This is a message that probably doesn’t get out very often, I mean its not as if punks have a big Public Relations Department spinning all the good stuff that punks do. There is no Global Association of Punks for Good Causes or anything like that (that I’m aware of). […]
February 5th, 2011 So we kick things off with our first coverage of a punk concert for 2011 and I’m happy to say it was for a good cause. Our friend Kmilo helped organize the event which requested that punks bring notebooks for school kids who couldn’t afford them. From the looks of the number […]
If you happen to be in warm, sunny Medellin this weekend (as opposed to cold, icy, snowy NYC… sorry had to rub it in), then this is a good concert for a good cause including some bands that we’ve featured here before like our buddies from “Lokekeda” (See archives HERE and HERE) and many, many […]
I was wrong, I do have the software to upload videos, at least flipcam videos. Here is Lokekeda from Medellin, Colombia performing their new song “Capitan Dimencia”. Let me know what you think!
April 15th, 2010: I arrive in Medellin and it’s like a breath of fresh air after the cold and rain of Bogota. Lush and green, I feel I am at home again when I arrive to the little hotel I discovered last time I was here in December. The hotel is in a perfect location […]
Bogota was wet, chilly and traffic was horrendous. Yet had a productive two days. I’d like to thank Erika and her friend for a great interview last night. If you don’t remember, Erika is a young, beautiful punk girl who lives in Bogota, plays drums in a punk band, sports a killer mohawk and likes […]
