Another concert. Thanks to a couple of hand-me-down tickets from Lucia who went out of town at the last minute, I got to see The Killers last night. Cool show, even if I’m not that big of a fan and don’t know many of their songs. Lots of girls too, it almost fell like a Luis Miguel concert.
The unconfirmed final tour of mexican band Molotov hit Stubb’s in Austin last night. Above a photo taken of the Frijolero number and below a video of Molotov performing their song Voto Latino.
Yesterday I attended a small concert adn Q&A session by David Broza at the JCAA. The real full-fledged concert is tonight, but I don’t have tickets (I saw him in concert about 5 years ago at the CYJ 50th anniversary celebration). Nice.
Last Wednesday, some friends and I headed to Emo’s, on Sixth Street, to see regiomontano band Kinky. Check out the photos in The MKX® Photo Central, if you dare. Jaramillo posted additional details.
Enjoy the signature crappy cellphone picture (now less crappy than usual thanks to my new Nokia 6103) from DJ Tiësto‘s concert last night at the Austin Music Hall. Ears are buzzing, but not nearly as bad as after the Chemical Brothers concet in 2002
I took a few crappy cellphone videoclips as well, and to make their quality even more abysmal I uploaded them to YouTube. I strongly recommend you don’t check it out. You’ve been warned.

Along the lines of Wednesday’s concert, I went to see Juanga to San Antonio on Saturday.
Yup, the crowd was quite different.
This guy is now 55, and doesn’t move or sing like he used to, but his show is still quite good. He has an awesome mariachi band, and everytime he does one of his effeminate gestures (which was very often) the crowd would stand and go wild. And of course, his interpretation of the timeless classic “Querida” brought tears to everyone present.
In other news, it seems we were pretty lucky to go see him that night because tonight in his Houston concert he fell from the stage and banged his head and wrist quite hard, so the tour may be over. Poor Juanga.

Last night I went to the Depeche Mode concert in San Antonio with Eva, Yoshia and Nathan. It was very good, even though in the row in front of us they were smoking cheap cigarretes during the whole concert, on our left there were 2 goth teenager girls screaming the WHOLE time and right behind our heads there was a hallway where people kept spilling beer, and as a result, someone slipped and there was even a fight.
And, don’t worry, the photo above was not taken by me, it was taken by someone else in Houston a few nights earlier. I was sitting muuuch farther away from the stage last night.
Anyway, the band played about half of the new CD and some of their classics. Also, my friends Johnny Kings and Sandra were there, although I didn’t see them.
On Saturday: Juanga
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to post any pictures from ACL because I left my camera with Sofía. Instead of taking any decent pictures, she decided she wanted to take 38 photos of the behind of overweight ladies.
Thank you.
However, Jaramillo did take a good picture: Introducing Diego at ACL
