A few months ago, I had the opportunity and pleasure of interviewing legendary, socially-conscious rockers, Anti-Flag. The Pittsburgh, PA-based band was making its way through New York City to perform a meet-n-greet and acoustic set at Looney Tunes Records in Long Island. The following evening, they would play a full-fledged concert at Mercury Lounge in the East Village. I remember […]

Back in February I made a return trip to Montevideo, Uruguay to see my old pals from Rudos Wild. A lot had happened in the year I was away. I signed the guys to my fledgling digital record label “Punk Outlaw Records”, I had begun work on a new travel show “Raw Travel” and I […]
Last weekend’s punk show in Montevideo featuring my buddies, Rudos Wild was all it was cracked up to be. A celebration as it was Camilo’s (Guitar Rudos Wild) birthday; a reunion, it was my first time back to Uruguay in almost exactly one year; and most importantly a kick ass punk show. The show got […]
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. My man took off with my cameras, passport, computer and most importantly, 3 weeks worth of footage […]

The flight from Miami to San Pedro Sula went quick because I had a middle seat sandwiched between a well traveled Gringo professor of Spanish from Missouri State University and a young local Honduran finance student from Chicago. Both were very gracious in offering advice, but it was funny because the Gringo professor advised almost […]
When Uruguayan punkabilly kingpins “Rudos Wild” performed “No Toleramos” (We Don’t Tolerate) for me at rehearsal during my trip down there a few weeks ago, I was instantly hooked. If you like intense music, I think you’ll like this regardless of whether you understand Spanish or not. Check it out and let me know what […]
MONTEVIDEO, URAGUAY – Final Night In South America My month long trip to South America was coming to a close. My laundry, too much, too dirty and me tan,but not TOO tan, very relaxed and maybe, just maybe, getting better at speaking Spanish. Clocking in at 30 days on the dot almost, this had been […]
MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY:Last week of the trip. No camera, No Computer.. what to do? No choice but to calmly carry on and make the best of a changing situation. That changing situation got much easier thanks to a few folks in Montevideo’s punk scene, namely Camila from Rameras Punk, Cabeza from El Ultimo de los Ramones […]
Decibelios Club is a punk club run by our new friend “Cabeza” from the well known Montevideo punk band, “El Ultimo de los Ramones”. Earlier in the day Cabeza and Camila from the all girl punk band Rameras Punk were incredibly helpful in introducing me to people in the punk scene in Uruguay, including a […]
When I took the boat to Colonia, Uruguay from Buenos Aires, it was a beautiful, sunny crisp day. Quite a contrast to that day two days earlier when it was raining buckets and my trip was delayed due to an ethically challenged and fake “taxi” driver. I was still kicking myself for allowing myself to […]
Gracias to all my new amigos and the punk community in Montevideo Uruguay for your hospitality. I had a great time and look forward to coming back again soon! Look for pics, vidoes, etc. from the trip on here later this week. Muchisimas Gracias!
Just 24 hours ago I was a despondent, depressed, dripping wet gringo despairing on the streets of Buenos Aires being consoled by a kind soul, Marcelo, who witnessed the whole thing, from set up to execution. It was raining cats and dogs yesterday, impossible to get a taxi, which is how I ended up getting my stuff […]
