Saturday at 1:15pm. We go from 3 great choices at 12:30pm to 4 toss-ups. I listened to all four and none really stand out. We've got a Cardi B/Lizzo wannabe in Megan Thee Stallion, Back Street Boys flavor from Hell's Kitchen-based high school boy band Laundry Day, and hip hop from Taylor Bennett.
I'm sure Megan Thee Stallion would be the most entertaining show but this seemed to be the most interesting band of these options. It's rock group out of Bogata that has won 2 Latin Grammys for Best Rock Album. They've opened for the Rolling Stones and have recorded for Third Man Records. David Fricke had a glowing write-up of them in Rolling Stone. His choice quote about their new album:
"The sum of those moments is Diamante Eléctrico’s graduation day, their best record and a certain fixture of future lists of the greatest rock en español albums... is aggressively purist in its power-trio force, as basic in its charge (despite the samples and studio enhancement) as Cream’s debut LP, 1966’s Fresh Cream, or the Black Keys’ gnarly 2004 album, Rubber Factory. But the determined reach and assured execution of the changes on Buitres echo other precedents: the Rolling Stones’ decisive integration of blues roots and contemporary rebellion on 1968’s Beggars Banquet; Soundgarden’s giant step up from the grunge underground with the progressive hard-rock drive of 1991’s Badmotorfinger; Jack White’s nuclear fusion of antique blues ideals and mass-appeal savvy on the White Stripes’ 2003 smash, Elephant."
That's some serious name dropping.
"Dias Raros" features Billy Gibbons on guitar. Cool.
Oro
