Monoluna party on Sept 16th, yeah!



September 16, 2007 8:00 PM.

Finally, a FREE Mexican Independence Day celebration without mariachis, discursos patrioteros oficiales, or Mexican-curios simulations! And you can be sure that we won't be tuning in to see fraudulent Pelele Calderon perform "el grito" on TV. Instead, Monoluna will be hosting a night of minimal-tech, idm, breakbeats, Mexican funk and soul, and whatever else we think of at one of our favorite venues in the city—200 Orchard!


Who Will Perform:

Antiguo Automata Mexicano
AAM recently released the full length album Kraut Slut on Tijuana based label Static Discos. Pitchfork has described this album as: "an evocative sampling of the potential of computer-based minimalism with a handful of fantastic tracks". The Australian magazine Cyclic Defrost refers to AAM as "a warm mix of bubbling minimal techno and spacious ambient electronics with just enough quirk, pops and crackles to sit somewhere between the dancefloor and headphone earspace".

+

Ulisespal
Born in Buenos Aires and based in New York, German Palacio is an electronic musician, video and multimedia artist with a free spirit and plenty of projects. One of these is the—mostly solo—venture called Ulisespal, and its sound is warm and textured with a cinematic quality, subtle hints of humor, and dance-floor-ready beats.


DJ Icassiano
DJ Icassiano from Vampisoul Records aka as Carlos Icaza, plays drums with AAM and also forms part of the bands Seekers Who Are Lovers, Evil Hippie and Los Fancy Free...among others (busy guy) As Icassiano, he spins a mix of Mexican funk, soul, and rare grooves.

Selector Monobichi
The Mono in Monoluna…probably mixing some minimal stuff and some electro with other sounds in between. Strictly non-pro...

Isseluna
The Luna in Monoluna will be hosting the event and making sure no one gets out of line.


The Place:

200 Orchard is simply a great bar! Specializing in all things electronic, alternative Rock & Roll, Electro and Punk, these guys have decided to maintain the Lower East Side flavor, which is why they do not like to charge covers. The staff is great and they pour best pint of Guinness on the Lower East Side! Get there a bit before the party and take advantage of their Daily Happy Hour Specials, which go on until 8pm.


*****

Also, we might have a few surprises courtesy of one of the best Spanish language magazines dedicated to independent music, Mexico City based
Indie-Rocks, the little Tijuana label that could Static Discos and the website we all depend on for information on arts, music, culture, food, and entertainment, NYremezcla !

..Mexicanos al grito de...

Sept. 6th - Zoe in NYC - all ages show!


Nacotheque is hosting the official after-party at Bar 13...more details TBA!

Circo - "Cursi" + Nacotheque



This was sent to me today:

http://www.endi.com/noticia/musica/flash!/atrapado_por_la_cursileria/266146

Fui para conocer las distintas escenas de música alternativa y electrónica que hay en Manhattan. Allá me encontré con un grupo de jóvenes de todas partes de Latinoamérica que están haciendo unas fiestas que se llamannarcotech’ y me estuvo muy curioso que celebran lo cursi por medio de ‘remixes’ modernos que hacen los DJ de canciones cursis clásicas de los 80, como de las Flans y Gloria Trevi”, afirmó el histriónico músico.


The first time I ever saw Fofe/Circo was in my parents living room sometime in the late 90s.. maybe early 00's. My mother had signed up for some shady cable service that broadcasted several unheard of spanish/hispanic/latino (whatever the fuck) channels that oddly enough turned me into a lot of music and films I still love today. In fact, that's where I first discovered the likes of Zoe and Lucybell for the very first time.

One afternoon, right after the Jerry Springer show (back when they were getting more ratings than Oprah AND showed fights), I was flipping around channels and suddenly stopped at the sight of a moustached, trendy, cholo looking dude singing "ya no estas mas a mi lado corazon..." into a disco ball-ish bullhorn. "WTF is this?" I said to my doubtful teenage self. Once the video was over, plain white letters ala MTV cleared it up for me; it was Puerto Rico's very own Circo.

Circo has always been a ridiculously underrated band. They're very solid and dudes know how to write catchy well-crafted tunes.

Last year, Nacotheque had the pleasure of having Fofe as a guest dj. He spun some raw demos from what would ultimately become "Cursi", their new LP. And not cause he plugged us or anything, but they sounded reallyyyy good. Right away I noticed a more electronic sound compared to their previous stuff. He told me they started to write new stuff and that it was due out sometime this year. That was last year. LAST YEAR! It feels like it was soooooo long ago. However, just a month ago we had Fofe & Egui do a very special Nacotheque-only mini performance where they performed one (and only one) of their new songs. This was during LAMC week at the Zoe afterparty. I must say the crowd took it in quite well. How could they not? besides good songwriting the band has a great live show. Definitely a lot of energy from both the crowd and half-Circo (the whole band didn't perform).

Now that the Noelia sex tape scandal is finally dying out, my attention is back to where it should be, osea, on the lookout for new amazing music. And thanks to my "sources" I've gotten a listen to most of the Cursi demos (not the final recordings) and shit, they sound GOOD. Just as good as I remembered them sounding at Fofe's dj gig. Cause you know when you listen to something at a club and you think it sounds really good but then you listen to it a home and you're like "um, it's ok. I guess it sounded better at the club?!" - well this isn't one of those times. They are good songs period. Definitely keep an ear out for this one. Some of the better stuff I've heard so far in 2007.
