I read a fun article in Anthem today about Tristeza (one of those bands I love everything I have ever heard by but for some reason know very little about them). The article was about how they are blazing trails in Tijuana - Mexico that is. I have always heard it is a shit hole where you are likely to get robbed but this makes me want to go do the fancy dance. At the end of the article there was a list of three bands to check out.

Glitchy electro bliss pop from TJ. Band members include Gabby Fuentes, Luis from Tristeza’s girlfriend. Dear Gabby, if things get shakey with Luis I will be your magic man.

Ringing guitar explorations with shoegazer tendancies. I am having serious thoughts on diving headstrong into Hispanic music.

Percussive electronica, been around since 1987. Never before possible, I now will sweat at my local discotechque.
