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, COLOMBIA – Last Friday I received a last minute invite by my good friends Andres (Los Suziox) and Faber (Rock in Medellin Festival) to a private concert by the incredible local punk band I.R.A. For those of you who don’t know I.R.A., here is a little info. It is so hard to believe from […]
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 […]
Is this man a dangerous punk? One of my favorite things about traveling and living abroad are the many, many different characters I meet. In the case of Itibar (Iti) Mendell of Medellin, Colombia his reputation proceeded him. It all started with the food. I overheard some people talking about this Colombian-Israeli guy with a […]
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 […]
I like being behind the camera.. but my buddy Kmilo, here in Medellin, wanted to flip the camera around and interview me, for what I wasn’t exactly sure. But I figured since dozens and dozens of punks have sat down to listen to my inane questions, then I could do the same for another fellow […]
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 […]
It is that time of year, so here is my Xmas gift to you.. an exclusive video of Los Suziox performing “Perfeccion” at the Rock en Medellin festival last month. Sorry for the delay in getting this up. Enjoy!
OK, so it’s been a minute I realize. But I’ve got a good excuse this time. I”ve been in the Amazon and over half of Colombia with little internet access and even less time. The good news is I’ve been gathering lots and lots of footage, pics and stuff and while most of it pertains […]
It rained (what else is new?) but that didn’t hurt the enthusiasm of the crowd for the big Rock en Medellin Festival last weekend in Medellin. Here is a little taste of the ska band D-Ska-Labradox as they hit the stage to kick things off for the festival. Stay tuned for some video of Desadaptadoz […]
If you like hardcore punk you might just like this band from Medellin. Check out this new music video from my friends down in Medellin, Colombia, “Alkoholemia”
Here is some video of Colombian hardcore band Renkore at last weekend’s punk show in Medellin. Check out the dancing I referred to in my last post that seems to incorporate some martial art moves, maybe even capoeira? Is there a name for this anyone? Sorry for the delay on these videos, I have lots […]
Medellin, Colombia: While here I wanted to get you guys some more video from last weekend’s Alta Voz punk festival in Medellin, Colombia. Here is a flipcam clip from local favorites and my amigos “Desastre Capital” (Capital Disaster). Enjoy!
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 […]
It’s Friday in Medellin (actually I guess it’s Friday in most places, except where it’s Saturday or Thursday). Anyway, you know what that means right? Punk rock all weekend long that is what. Well actually punk on Saturday and Ska/Reggae on Sunday but that is cool with me. The guys from Los Suziox have been […]
Wow! I feel great! 8 hours of sleep.. think I’ll go run a marathon or something.. OK, In my last post I promised video from this great garage punk band I saw the other night, Los Sorners. I am a man of my word, so here you go. I thought their beats were infectious.. what […]
Yup, I’m back in Medellin. What can I say I love Medellin and there always seems to punk show popping up last minute like this one featuring the Flees from South Florida (Ft. Lauderdale to be exact). Should be a great show! stay tuned for videos and pics soon!
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 […]
