We finished up our summer 2014 tour of Eastern Europe in the Balkans and the lovely Bulgaria. In the friendly, small river town of Ruse I ran across this somewhat angry band Scroletics. But don’t let the energetic music fool you, the guys are super nice, (I hung out with them after rehearsal).This song was […]
I’ve traveled far and wide to bring you the best punk music from the far corners of the earth but this one ranks in the top 10. The guys from ! Kto Chce Co Chce (Do Whatever You Like) in Bratislava, Slovakia spoke little to no English and my Slovakian is even worse.. but speaking […]
I’m back in the U.S. of A. now, memories of Colombia still fresh on my mind. I was all over the place, Popayan, Cali, Medellin and Bogota, in just 11 days.

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
