Blablabla

Ayer en mi peda me di cuenta que el RocknRoll en México se contrala por Contactos, Amigos y Dinero. Si no tienes ninguno de esos medios y te vale verga la vida, lo único que queda es ir en contra de la marea y aguantar putazos. Es algo que estamos haciendo nosotros y no solos nosotros, conocemos mas gente interesada en cambiar ese "movimiento" de mierda. El Internet y uno que otro medio de comunicación, nos echa la mano para no tirar la toalla, vamos a ver que resultados quedan al final. Pero una cosa si les digo putos, no nos vamos a dar por vencido.

La gira del Hong Kong Blood Opera en el sur (Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Mérida, Cancún y Campeche) se pospuso hasta nuevo aviso. Esperamos la comprensión de todos ya que por medidas de sanidad se tuvieron que posponer. Chingón por su tiempo y un abrazo.

Hong Kong Blood Opera

New band of the day at guardian.co.uk

The Hong Kong Blood Opera (No 535)

Named after a genre of violent action movies from the 80s, these fey indie types play twee synth-pop. Not really, they're brutal, fast, electro-metallers with shrieky vocals

Hometown: Hermosillo, Mexico City.

The lineup: Sebastián Samaniego (vocals), Luis Andonaegui (guitar), Luis Alvarez (synths), Miguel Valdez (drums), Memo Ibarra (synth, guitar). 

The background: The Hong Kong Blood Opera, a five-piece from a town close to the border between Mexico and the States, take their name from a film genre ascribed to John Woo movies like Hard Boiled and The Killer – Hong Kong Blood Operas, they call them. "I think it goes really well with the aesthetic of the band," says frontman Sebastián Samaniego, describing it as "our little homage to those violent action movies from the 80s". "We're really into horror films," he adds, explaining that they got their song title Switchblade Romance from one such French gore fest, High Tension. Now, wouldn't it be funny if the music they made was jangly indie and they were going for a stark contrast between name and sound? After all, it worked for Scottish duo Strawberry Switchblade, those mid-80s purveyors of twee synth-pop who danced around in polka-dot dresses and had ickle-gurl voices (they were, in fact, girls). Well, it would be, but it's not. It's brutal, fast, sleek electro-metal with shrieky vocals, and it's loud enough to wake the dead. On one of their tracks the singer emits a series of high-pitched blood-curdling entreaties to "wake up, wake up!", and it is indeed jarring enough to jolt upright a cadaver.

We heard about THKBO from Andrew Chester, formerly one half of Manchester duo My Computer, who made the criminally underrated 2002 album Vulnerabilia. He now runs an online imprint called Recreation. We wrote about one of his signings, Black Jackson, the other week, and here's another. It's turning out to be some roster. Black Jackson make atmospheric orchestral rock; this lot create a different kind of tension. It's not death metal, it's punkier and more garage-y than that, with splatters of synth and tech-tronic surges. Imagine Phil Anselmo of Pantera jamming with LCD Soundsystem, or Steve Albini and Paul Epworth arguing about who's going to produce the next Hives album. According to our spies, THKBO – who beat 7,000 other contestants in a national battle of the bands two years ago, have songs called Killing Joke and Disco Sucks that sound like Killing Joke playing sucky disco and another called Crazy Mexican Scientists about being (wrongly) arrested for possession of crack – tend to assault crowds with vicious intent. And that's just at the shops. 

The buzz: "They mix together the best in punk, hardcore and rock'n'roll, and do it with an energy and refinement you don't find that often these days."

The truth: They're the most extreme electro-punk band ever to sign to a Manchester label. Apart, of course, from the Railway Children.

Most likely to: Feature a cameo from Chow Yun-Fat in their next video.

Least likely to: Feature a cameo from Cameo in their next video.

What to buy: Killing Joke and Disco Sucks are available to download from www.recreationrecords.com.

File next to: The Refused, White Stripes, the Hives, Pantera.

Feliz Helen

Helen Feliz Cumpleaños. Aparte de eso, cumplimos un año de novios, asi es, en su cumpleaños nos pusimos de novios, que loco verdad?, pues le regale unas botas rojas y una blusa bien curada de un sandwich con un putero de ingredientes el sandwich, de que champiñon y la verga. Me dijo que le gustó muchisimo, pero bueno también no me podía decir "Hey puto!, Cómo te atreves a regalarme esta pendejada?, TE ME VAS A LA VERGA!!!", no no no no, mi amor es una lindura, solo cuando le saco el tapón es cuando ya nadie es lindo, pero en general Helen es otro pedo en la vida, no hay 2 como ella en el mundo, en verdad. Pero de lo cursi me paso a lo dramático, aquí en el Df dicen que esta una gripa pasadisima de verga, que de los cochis, las gallinas y los humanos salió un virus bien pasado de verga. Y pues ahora use tapabocas todo el puto día; nunca había usado un tapabocas creo, a lo mejor en el kinder y o en una pinche edad que no te acuerdas. Pues quien sabe que vaya a pasar con este pedo del brote de gripe ifluenza porcina aviar, solo se que hay como que un toque de queda en toda la ciudad y que viene de Asia y que aguas aguas. 

Felicidades Helencita de mi corazón.
