Any given Sunday night (usually the 2nd or 3rd of the month), walk in to this legendary rock club and you are transported to the B-side of Latinoamerica. Admission paid, you notice the reputable faces on the walls – those who might be called ‘legends’. Green Day. Pearl Jam. The Specials. Nirvana. But then your senses adjust to the atmosphere – this ain’t no regular gathering. So many shades, so many accents, so many identities are noticed almost immediately. Preppies, cholos, pin-up girls, punks, headbangers, bachateros, b-girls, hipsters. Your mind scrambles to try and keep up: cumbia, electropunk, jazzy hiphop, discopunk, dub & ska, salsa, mambo thrash. A raucous soundtrack to the buzzing bilingual rumble of the crowd, you zone out of your body: is this Philadelphia? Tijuana? Panama? It’s when the stage lights up, you get it. It’s the music.
