hola adios
First things first: Cafe Tacuba is one of the greatest bands in the world and they didn't have to make a record that sounded like U2 to do it. Last night, amongst chattering handclaps, a thin haze and too many Americanos I saw them perform on Austin City Limits. Free beer made people's eyes widen, but it was the hour and half set that was both historical, Bun B tight and welcoming to the mainly white audience. Mexican folk, such as myself, yelled things out during the taping (see if they make the edit), girls danced on stage with them and, at one point, there was even a small child with the Gallo Gass mask on: it was post-real. Dream-like and airy, the entire event felt like they were playing just for you.
Check for this show starting in October.
You might even see my ugly grill up in there.
I'm off to see them again tonight. Should bring back some pictures. In the mean time, check out these words.
Next up: Hello, California.
