Fotos Festival Stoner Rock Vol 3
Daggerlady + Medusa
This was the Stoner Rock Festival held at Multiforo Alicia in Mexico City last saturday.
August 25 2007
Seven bands gathered that night to show what's Stoner Rock all about:
1. Stellar High
2. Drugster Monster
3. Medusa
4. La Orquesta de Animales
5. Dirty Woman
6. Occulta
7. El Diablo
Stoner rock is not a very popular genre in Mexico, neither the "culture" that surrounds it. Of course, we're a Third-World country and latinos right? so it's obvious people listen to commercial music and buy tickets to see RBD, Alejandro Fernández and Daddy Yankee shows.
Anyway, all those people missed true Rock n' Roll. Shame on them!
This is not a review, but I would like to say I really enjoyed all the bands. Stellar High, the only band that showed a keyboard, and Medusa, the legendary seventies Mexican band (see pic above with me and the bass player). They all rocked. I suddenly felt weird looking at Medusa, all those years that I missed, I mean, they were really there, with Black Sabbath happening, not Enrique Guzman or Cesar Costa, Medusa played heavy rock and I guess they were really misunderstood. I am super glad they played that night, hope they've found another scene to rock a younger generation.
Drugster Monster have a more metal influence, having Lindeath Storm (ex-Yetel) on lead guitar. La Orquesta de Animales, a true halucinogenous ride. Dirty Woman have great riffs, loved them. El Diablo, the band that closed the night which I really really loved. They played Voodoo Child, I really tripped. They played after four or five years I guess, and hope they come up with a new gig pretty soon.
Of course, Occulta, the band where I play guitar, we did well I guess.
I missed some band pics, but here are a few. Enjoy!
Dirty Woman
That night my brother (guitar on photo) made his debut with Dirty Woman. Killer band!
Esa noche, mi hermano debutó con Dirty Woman. Muy muy buena banda en verdad.
Occulta
My band.

The Pleasure Seekers
Woo! Son las 4:14 am y no me canso de escuchar a las Pleasure Seekers. Banda conformada por Suzi Quatro, Patti Quatro, Nan Ball, Marylou y Dianne Baker durante los sesentas.
Y aquí va la letra, ehem, plena identificación! Y escúchenla en el player. El princpio está pedorro porque lo grabé de un show "Wild Wild Sound" en Garagepunk. Salud!
That I love you, baby, I'm telling you right here
But please don't make me decide, baby, between you and a bottle of beer
And, baby, come on over, well, come on over to my side
Come on, baby, my side!
Well, I may not live past twenty-one, but woo! What a way to die!
Your loving fluctuates, baby, and everybody knows
But the temperature always stays the same on an ice-cold bottle of Strohs
So, baby, come on over, a-come on over to my side
Come on over, honey!
Well, I may not live past twenty-one, but woo! What a way to die!
When I start my drinking, my baby throws a fit
So I just blitz it out of my mind with seventeen bottles of Schlitz
And, baby, come on over, a-come on over to my side
Come on over!
Well, I may not live past twenty-one, but whoo! What a way to die!
You got the kind of body that makes me come alive
But I'd rather have my hands around a bottle of Colt Forty-five
And, baby, come on over, a-come on over to my side
Are you coming or not, baby?
Well, I may not live past twenty-one, but woo! What a way to die!

Dagger's Demo has a proper Cover (finally!)
So, I was the other day designing Occulta's cover art and I wondered, damn, Dagger's Summer Demo has no cover art at all.
So, with big inspiration and the best angles of the three of us, let me introduce the Covert Art for multi-reviewed Dagger Summer Demo. The cd now includes a cd plastic case, and a brochure with lyrics, credits and Dagger's photos from 2005 (CD release date).
You can buy it online as well as other Dagger merchandise here

STONER ROCK PODCAST
So I made with "Jose R" (pic) a podcast about Stoner Rock, sorry it's in Spanish, very drunk spanish indeed! Lots of bands we dig, and think are representative of this genre. We have included some new bands such as Brittish folks Gorilla, and some Mexican bands that are fighting against indie crap and latin stars down here. Of course, some classics ones, Fu Manchu, Kyuss.. Click here, and listen.

WE DIDN'T ROCK BUT THE DAGGERS HAD BIG TIME
Yesterday we played at Foro Alicia. We didn't rock guys, we arrived late for soundcheck and had to close the night (close the night?) so we were pretty wasted by that time, well not all Daggers, but me (haha!). Hopefully there will be an article featuring the Stoner scene in Mexico City at MEXADELIC pretty soon.
Anyway, I was so happyieeeee but had big time and I want to share these pics. Some familiar faces, yes, but true fans! Enjoy!

FELIZ DIA DE LA MUJER/ women's day
Me voy con la Dúrcal, y dice:
La chica del dia viste pantalon
bebe vodka puro sin limitacion
cuando busca un medio de locomocion
mas que un deportivo prefiere un camion
que quiere esa chica
esa es la cuestion
canta protestando
abre los pulmon
ven lo que esa chica
tambien esa chica
esa buena chica tiene corazon
y si alguien me porfía
que no que no que no
yo le contestaria que si que si que si
que son inteligentes, alegre y consecuente
con voces indecentes ellas son asi
y si alguien me porfía que no que no que no
yo le contestaria que si que si que si
tal vez son diferente pero seguramente indiscutiblemente
tienen corazon
Así son las francesas las suecas las inglesas
y las senegalesas todas son igual
lo mismo que las rusas y las
las chicas andaluzas
todas son igual

Dagger Debut EP: MASTER
¡Aquí está! ¡En mis manos! ¡Por fin el MASTER del EP debut de Dagger! Tiempo ha pasado ya desde que lo grabamos en Septiembre del 2006. Después, mucho tiempo extra para escuchar las mezclas finales, una y otra vez, sin parar, sin dejar de pedir consejos y volverlo a escuchar. Y hoy, finalmente, estoy aquí disfrutándolo, celebrando con caguama en mano como debe de ser. ¡No puedo expresar aquí cuánto deseo que lo escuchen mis queridos 5 lectores!
Y no solamente porque llega directo a mis oídos True fucking ROCK N ROLL! sino porque a la vez este disco representa un trabajo constante, muchas despedidas, muchos momentos fuertes, lágrimas, sonrisas, carcajadas y un número desafiante de cigarros encendidos.
No puedo evitar escuchar simultáneamente lo que fueron mis pininos grabando canciones en Fruity Loops con una voz que en ese momento, sufría de gripa arrolladora hace ya cuatro años. Las lágrimas corren en este momento.
Y por fin, el Disco (con “D” mayúscula).
Aquí tengo una prueba más de que en México se sigue generando buena música que se mueve por debajo de lo que transmite la televisión, la radio y los blogs más mainstream.
Aquí, Dagger deposita su grano de arena en la historia de los guerreros rocanroleros que no saben cuál es el significado de la palabra rendirse.
Aquí está, el disco de Dagger esperando a ser escuchado por aquellos que quieran escuchar.
Aquí está este disco que te hará ROCKEAR y lo digo en serio.
Aquí empieza todo, no hay vuelta atrás.
Pronto, muy pronto…
Salud!

Pink Wig
On January 20 we played at Plataforma Puebla 06 Festival in the city of Puebla. This is the third Dagger show in this city, we're getting pretty used to it. This is a pic from the backstage, I'm already obsessed with this wig but I know I will soon let it go, as it always happens to me.
