If you know the acordian player from TrashAxis, you probably know that last Saturday was his birthday. You'd probably might also know that last Saturday they had an epically insane show at his house up in the hills of Tijuana. First opening band was Los Tijuana Twist, a local garage-surf band with super catchy and danceable tunes that, well, make you wanna twist like no tomorrow. Then la bandas after them, Mala Salud (SD punk/skacore) and Iwokk (TJ Hardcore), almost turned the tiny ass living room into a full-packed riot zone full of moshing, heavy ear-shredding riffs and plenty of beer to be passed around. Finally, headliners TrashAxis set up their gear on the outside porch after the light rain stopped pouring too much. Fun and grindy set including a rad cover of "In Sight" by SF legends Dead Kennedys, but had to end early due to one member struggling to perform despite dealing with recent back pain issues (Thank you TrashAxis for still coming out and playing for us <3). Viva la punk rock en Tijuana, amigos y amigas!


PS- another rad show coming up at the Park Gallery in downtown SD this friday! Come out if ya can!

Catching Back Up...

Hola, todos. I apologize for my brief absence from this site, but I'll be starting to keep this site updated again.

Also, with help of friends, we'll soon start including some album reviews and interviews with local SD/TJ artists, musicians, etc. San Diego and Baja are a melting pot of cultures that more people need to know and hear about.

Tomorrow, Friday 1/20/12, SD's gonna be having some major demonstration action alive as part of a nationwide Occupy the Courts. List of the event and other radical events around it that same day via indyMedia:



880 Front Street. Rally at noon.
