Nortec Presents: Tijuana Sound Machine
Avid readers of this site know of my affinity for Nortec or anything Nortec related. My good friend, we’ll call him Güero, left from Denver to Mexico City last year to learn Spanish and expand his horizons. He had the wonderful pleasure of catching Nortec last night and has these pictures to share and brief show review.

Teatro Frufru Interior is a class place, about the size of the Fillmore Denver, but with box seats along the sides, each one with a table for four. In the lobby you can’t take pics but there are explicit gold statues of nude women and mythical figures. rocked it with live tenori-on performance, plus classic norteño sounds of accordion trumpet, tuba etc.that kind of music really resonates with the Mexican crowd, place was packed with people dancing. – El Güero

Post Pastel
In the latest issue of Fader, they covered the music scene down in Mexico City. Of course, with my love for DF (Chilangolandia), I did some research and discovered that I love me some Post Pastel. Their music is spastic sugary pop reminiscent of vintage B-52’s and I had the pleasure of interviewing Llesi from the group.
