A few years ago I wrote an article that was published by a small online publication and subsequently revised and copied by someone at Vice Media who passed it off as their find. Such is the nature of digital media. But now the subject has made it’s way to this weekend’s episode of Raw Travel […]
I spent a month in Lima, Peru in 2011, just before returning to the US after almost a year living abroad. I was able to spend a lot of time with some of the punks in Lima including El Terrible Y Los Mongoloids, Voz Propia, and the legendary Pancho Guevara from the band “Los Saicos” […]
One of my fondest memories and biggest rewards from writing this blog has been meeting different punks and just awesome and interesting people from all over the world. From Cuba to Russia to Mexico, Colombia, Philippines and Peru I’ve met some truly wonderful people and legends in the world of punk music. Pancho Guevera, the […]
Remember our little article way back in 2011 about the band “Los Saicos” where we suggested Lima, Peru might actually be the birthplace of Punk? You don’t? OK, here it is HERE. Now it seems someone has or is in the process of creating a mini documentary about this very subject to which I say […]
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 […]
The long awaited article on Colombian punk is out at Remezcla. You can check it HERE. Yes, it’s little long but highly entertaining if I say so myself (self depreciating laugh inserted here). What’s that you say? You are more of a visual person? Yes, I know, all those words can be headache inducing. So […]
It’s Normandie Blue Release week next week so don’t give me any s&*t please about being a self promoter. Music like this doesn’t come easy. First you have to have the talent of Alex Blue which is honed by years living on the road with Calavera, the punk/psychobilly band with a huge underground following. Then […]
Our good friends at Remezcla published this article we wrote a couple weeks back, but in case you missed it, here it is for your enjoyment. So, uh, enjoy and let me know what you think. By Robert G. Rose @PunkOutlaw VIVA LA ROCKABILLY Y PSYCHOBILLY! In the U.S, the flag for the […]
Our relationship with Remzcla.com continues. We wrote an article for them in an attempt to explain the Latino influence in the international rockabilly and psychobilly scenes.You may note a few familiar names and some not so familiar. Check out the article HERE and if you like it, for God’s sake hit “like”, tweet it or […]
Punk Outlaw’s article on punk music’s possible beginnings in Lima Peru with 1960’s band Los Saicos was recently published in Remezcla magazine. Click the logo above to read the article in its entirety before we publish it here next week. And remember, if you dig it, say so!
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 […]
